Re: What did you do to your truck today?
Just hauled a 1/2 cord of wood today in mine, probably the first heavy load that truck's hauled in maybe 10-15 years, lol. Did good too, gonna install my spotlight tomorrow and maybe work on the cab lights later this week.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
I had a long talk with Santa and Tom Langdon and they thought I was good enough for a new Split cast manifold for my 250 along with the new Webber 2 barrel carb with adaptors. This will keep me busy during the Christmas Holidays.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
Funny thing about how that got my hard drive sparkin up a bit.
A true T-Top is something I haven't seen yet......but if it was done right..... It would sure be more appealing than some of the "top mods" I've seen.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
Had yesterday and today off as annual leave and today moved a lovely leather clad chair and large foot stool over to my stepson, Tom's father's home for him to put in his bedroom.
The truck obviously did not feel the load. Tom asked to ride in the back on his new chair, but of course in this day and age it could get you locked up for years..... So when we got there he got to test drive the chair in the back of the truck. ![]() ![]() After dropping him and the chair off, Nicola and I went off to Hempstead valley shopping centre for a walk about, and coffee and cake. She thoroughly enjoys watching people trip over their feet and walk into stuff when the Redneck Express comes by. Parked to one side of the carpark, as the truck takes up a bit more spae than most modern family cars here. ![]() As always, the smiles per mile ratio far outweighed the miles per gallon delivery. This truck really is one of the best Bucket list things I have ever done. Thanks to my wife. ![]() ![]() ![]()

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
Yesterday, got some side molding from a great guy from a CL ad, turned him on to this site. Stopped by a junkyard that had a couple 64-66 trucks. I was gonna grab a gauge cluster and possibly the Chevrolet script valve covers. The trucks were in rough shape but had some decent parts. Found out they had crushed them LAST WEEK, I was sick.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
Came out of the post office to find a puddle of antifreeze on my floor board. Guess I'll be replacing a heater core in the next few days.
Update....Heater core ordered from Advanced with 15% discount...of coarse its a special order part so 3-5 days to arrive. Napa, O'Reillys, Auto Zone are $15-25 higher and all still special order. Part # for 60-63 w/recirculating heater is #394162 if it helps anyone else.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
Its the OEM Harrison core too....so may have the tanks removed and installed on a new core down the road, but in the mean time its getting colder here in NC (already had temps in the 20's-30's) and I need a heater, so Advanced Auto will have to do. Bad part is I have a OEM core from a 64 sitting on the shelf, but model change was 60-63 and 64-66, so guess I need to find a new home for the OEM 64 Harrison core.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
I got a pair of 3 pt seatbelts meant to be replacements for H1 Hummers for about $55 shipped on ebay and put them in my '66. They are all black, and pretty plain but they fit and work well. They are made by an OE supplier for seatbelts. The guys name is wolfer-parts on ebay.
I made 2" x 6" x .125" plates and plug welded them in the B pillars. The retractors got mounted on the rear wall of the cab with similar reinforcing plates. I feel a lot more safe sitting in front of a steel dash and solid steering shaft now ![]()
