Re: What did you do to your truck today?
Not today but I have installed my gauge unit. Yesterday I bolted up the tail gate and hooked up the Cig Lighter.. Not really a cig lighter but a power outlet to charge my phone or run my GPS...

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
Last week I went to bleed the brakes to my newest addition and while doing so the left hose burst. I bought new hoses but of course they were rusted on. so for a week penetration oil soaked in. The right hose broke loose with some channel locks but the left side was being a beast, I took care of it though with some heat from the propane torch. A little heat and it busted loose.
After that is was brake bleeding time and of course while doing that I smelled gas.. Oh boy.. The rubber line that goes from the tank to the frame was dripping. Off to the store to get some new fuel line. After all that I took it out for a drive.. Oh yeah forgot to mention that the column shifter would not even budge so last week I sprayed penetrating oil and it freed up also.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
well today was a good day. re furbished the tank fuel hard lines, and all new 5/16 fuel line. Took her on a short drive for the second time in owning it, got to admit a whole year of hard work definitely feels sweet being behind the wheel. also got a neet little goodie for it. floor shifter rubber cover, looks great, really dressed up the inside/ cut down road noise a bit.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
Finally got around to swapping out my clusters. Actually get to see what kind of oil pressure and temperature the little engine runs. Kept my speedo so the miles stay correct.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
Looks good. Question, what steering wheel and horn button is that? Like the looks of them.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
Thank you. I'm not 100% sure. I bought it locally and he said it was an early corvette wheel.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
I replaced the front wheel cylnders and brake shoes today. Just one leak after another. The only sad part is I will probably swap in Disc brakes in January. I just needed them to last untill then. The left wheel cylnder was leaking pretty bad, what a mess it makes..
I also repainted the hub caps. Here are some before and after shots.. Which one do you like best.. I have to say the new version fits better. Need another coat of orange.. ![]()

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
I was up early on Saturday to get over to Martins today with the truck, to get a 4x8 sheet of MDF and my tall ladder to his place so that we could complete the rest of the carport roof for his truck resto.
It was really great to get the truck back on the road again, its been some time. ![]() ![]() Martin's truck earning its keep. We were done with the roof after dark, and by 5pm I was on the road home again. ![]() ![]() Every time I drive my truck it leaves a HUGE SMILE on my face.\ The cost of fueling it up, disappears with the sound of that V8 rolling down the road. Looking forward to the new year and getting the body and paint sorted.
