LOL, I know. I need to focus on the suspension and hood for now and not stray to far.

mud.man.rj · 12-04-2013, 03:06 PM

I know what you mean on seeing things and buying more. Just ordered new tires cause I don't like mine enough. Nitto Mud Grappler's 40x13.50x17" @ $600 a tire.

magwakeenercew2jh · 12-04-2013, 05:30 PM

Merry Christmas to yourself, Mud!!!!!

My computer is on the fritz. Free hard drive from Apple is being installed, so I'm not sure if this is going to come through.

I found some two point belts in my parts stash that will work with the bench seat. So, in they went.

jbassC10 · 12-03-2013, 07:27 PM

I put the front fenders on today and right now I'm working on putting the new LMC tailgate on!! It's giving me a little trouble though :-\
But it'll work out!

i was going to mount my new heater box to the firewall but i need to rivet the panel on the back and i forgot to bring my rivet gun home from work. so i guess it will be tomorrow before i have heat

1968GMCTruck · 12-03-2013, 08:32 PM

Got it out and put it to work...

AKChevyman · 12-03-2013, 08:58 PM

Well I didn't get anything done today but I did get some stuff done this week. The truck now goes up and down under isn't own power. All the Airlines/ Solenoids have been mounted and routed.

hockeyjerk1 · 12-04-2013, 12:09 PM

I Finally put some trim rings on, I also dropped it down to a nice stance

davtay68 · 12-04-2013, 12:17 PM

I took my truck through the car wash to see the leaks. New rubber and seals are now on the list.

73737373 · 12-04-2013, 01:20 PM

On my 68...did a bunch of stuff; new shocks, installed seats, new weatherstrip and started to wetsand/buff the original red paint in the bed. Oh man, it looks great.

73737373 · 12-04-2013, 02:35 PM

Last weekend put in the new carpet, new fuel tank, fuel sending unit; did some touch up spray around wheel well openings; detailed door jams, rockers, kick panels...and probably a bunch of other stuff.

68'CTown · 12-08-2013, 10:55 PM

Mocked up my gas tank that I removed from the cab and put it underneath my frame and filled in some holes that were on the body. I decided to go with the 69 Camaro gas tank and do a flip down license plate.

VWNate1 · 12-08-2013, 11:09 PM

I was walking my favorite junkyard and Lo ! that RUST FREE '69 low hump cab is STILL THERE and picked clean as a bone , ready to yank but , I have NO WHERE TO STORE IT until I'm well enough to install it sometime late next year =8-( .

Bummer , that .

In The Ten Ring · 12-08-2013, 11:13 PM

Surely someone on here can help you out.

Can you get the yard to hold it for you?

If I was near you, I'd voluteer.

VWNate1 · 12-09-2013, 09:29 AM

Thank you Sir ;

I do have offers of help to get it off and out of the junkyard but where to store it ? .

I have a terrible drunken b*tch neighbor who has been hassling me ever since I turned her down one night when she was horny so can't keep it @ home .

Oh , well .

I do hope all out there are doing O.K. in the cold , wet , snow and ice ? .

Sounds like you just need to give the neighbor lady some love and problem solved...

EWWWwwwwwwww ! .

Not even with your equipment

It looks like I'll have access to a bead blaster to - morrow and get the new (used) intake & exhaust manifolds cleaned up and hopefully re painted .

I know this is a Family Friendly Forum (FFF), but I can't help but suggest that your newly "accessed" equipment may be able to serve more than one purpose.

If you catch my drift.

started off just replacing the gasket and fluid and found a cool surprise on my dad's truck

In The Ten Ring · 12-08-2013, 11:16 PM

Today I finished (I guess) learning how to do my own fuel line replacements and what extra filters are best for what I have. I hope to start on this project in a few weeks.
