Re: What did you do to your truck today?
I pulled driveshaft/brake lines/suspension loose/CUT the rear axle loose from my frame (U-bolt nuts were froze solid) on my way to a front disc/5 lugs all around conversion. This project has been too slow due to cold weather... Hoping to start pulling the front end apart tomorrow! (66 Chevy 3/4 ton frame for my 64 GMC build)

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
I tured the crappy green firewall, black. I am going to try and get the engine and tranny stabbed in this weekend.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
Dropped it off at the exhaust shop for some new pipes. And found out why my th350 isn't shifting right... the vacuum wasn't hookedup anymore!

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
I got my nice heater control in the mail today that I bought from astevens (Super nice member) and installed it. Finished up some wiring I have been doing, droped a connector and bent down to pick it up and noticed transmission fluid all over the garage floor. I finished up my wiring and heater control and hooked the ground cable back to the battery to check my wiring upgrades and my fan switch on the heater control. Going to jack her up tomorrow and see what happened underneath. She hasn't been started or moved since I put her in the garage in the fall so I don't know what could have happened. I've got to get it fixed by Tuesday as my wheels are suppose to come in and i've got to drive her to have them put on, weather permitting. I'm kinda stumped but I will know tomorrow if the good Lord's willing.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
I fabricated a new plate to mount the later style "above the floor" dimmer switch, eliminating the stock "under floor" switch and mounting plate. I moved it over an inch and now I have 3/4" clearance between the switch and diamond tufted kick panels, instead of munching up against the upholstery.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
I swapped out the TBI Intake to a carb intake for the 66 today. The pics were taken with my phone so they are not the greatest. Better then nothing I guess.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
I picked up some material for my rear-end relocation & bag mounts. Got stuff mocked up & will work on fabbing it all tomorrow night.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
I am pretty much in the center of SF. Noe Valley area. The truck I posted is at Bethal Island which is near Brentwood. That is the 66. My 65 is in my garage. As soon as I get the 66 going, I am going to tow the 65 up to the Island so I can spray the firewall and let the building continue. If you want to hang out, I will be up at the Island this saturday the 13th. Highlandr said he was going to come by also. We are going to try and get the engine into the truck this weekend. It won't happen if I can't find the torque converter or the motor mounts.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
I checked my front tire for a slow leak and found out that it is at the rim/tire bead. Shop says I got a rusty rim. Time to find some 6 lug steelies. I'll be at the big swap meet in Webster for sure.
