Thanx for the kudos folks ! (I'da said ' Fellas ' but you know I gotta be P.C. these dayze right ?) .
On another Forum I'm on the geezers (like me) are all bragging about their long bed AC equipped no maintenance necessary late model Chevrolet pickups , I guess they're nice and all but I'll be rattling across America in a clapped out I6 powered Chevy until I can't . This old Moto is supposed to be a '68 , we'll see when I go by The Auto Club to - day after work and try to get it registered... It never had turn signals but from 1967 ~ 1970 Honda pre wired them for turn signals and even mounted the switch so all I gotta do is find some junked Motos from 1977 or older and swap 'em over to this cute little Moto . If ever I find a decent cab , I hope to make my truck look as nice as the FANTASTIC ones I see here , just not all chromey and so on... ![]()

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
Drove mine around the block for the first time since I owned it. I was sitting 6 years before I got it. Sent another member my old air cleaner since I put and aftermarket one on.

Not to worry ~
In fact , I've been fretting about whomever paints my new cab (when I find one) because getting them to re - spray it 100 % so I won't be finding other colors behind the gas tank , under the carpets etc. ~ this sort of thing drives me batshyte , I cannot have this on my vehicle .

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
To the guy having to have his towed to the mechanic: I pray I don't have to do that but I have a fear I will.
VWNate: I'm with you on the old paint showing through...that would bother me also. I just talked to the original owner (my dad)....I thanked him for keeping it so long and taking good care of it. *He's beat himself up for not ordering new body parts from GM when he could have. It's OK though...at least we have it and it's in OK shape. |

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
I decided instead of going out an buying pre-made tubs, why not just widen what is already there and give it a somewhat "stock" appearance. So that was my project for today.
![]() ![]() Got both sides cut apart, tomorrow I will bolt the halves into their new homes and figure out how wide a patch panel I need then off to the sheet metal store.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
[QUOTE=In The Ten Ring;6230574]Taking advantage of the last really nice day this week, I put 4 coats of glossy black onto the gas tank nozzle and this is the first coat of "hammered" silver that goes onto the tank.
Geeze, I wish I had a spray gun Go to Harbor Freight for a nice cheap gun

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
That's a good idea, I may do just that!
I might have a paint job coming up where I will need a proper paint gun... Here is what I just finished up today: Second coat of silver put on the back of the tank: ![]() I also manned up and removed the carb for rebuilding: ![]() I am about to head over to the store for a rebuild kit. |

I didn't realize you had a 6 banger rig ~ good on ya ! .
Look for the HVLP paint guns with the paint cup on top ~ they're simply amazing .

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
Yes. I get the Harbor freight paint guns for next to nothing. They're actually pretty good. I use one about three or four times and throw it away. Then I go get a couple more.
