Re: What did you do to your truck today!
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.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
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.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
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.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
I took my truck through the car wash to see the leaks. New rubber and seals are now on the list.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
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.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
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.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
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 ? . -Nate |

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
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.
