Re: What did you do to your truck today?
I worked on the bed floor a little more & I'm much closer to completing the fuel fill line. See my build thread for details....

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
I built all my brackets for my 4 link and bags at work on the CNC, I love those things.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
Started putting my Hurst shifter in. Had to get my wife to hold it from the top while I bolted something on the bottom. After several sighs and a few how much longers, I said...hey...it's not like I asked you to polish my knob, just hang onto it for a minute! She found a lot less humor in it than I!

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
I worked on my fuel fill line again after getting off work this afternoon. This one task is taking entirely too long for my patience. I'm struggling to get what I feel is enough 'slope' so that all fuel runs into the tank.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
Im taking steps backward and removed the rear suspension! Damn the rusted bolts and busted knuckles so I can figure where my notch is going. Heres how it sits without notch on the frame. I only smacked the same thumb twice...

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
I pulled driveshaft/brake lines/suspension loose/CUT the rear axle loose from my frame (U-bolt nuts were froze solid) on my way to a front disc/5 lugs all around conversion. This project has been too slow due to cold weather... Hoping to start pulling the front end apart tomorrow! (66 Chevy 3/4 ton frame for my 64 GMC build)

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
I unloaded my new 8.8 rear axle out of my jeep today for the '64. I think I might go into the garage right now and start tinkering with it, maybe mount my fuel pump too.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
Took the idiot light instrument panel out in preparation to put a gauge instrument panel in. Also, took the heater control and cables out, replaced the broken heater control levers, and lubed up the control cables. Will be putting this all back in today. It's supposed to get to about 24 degrees outside today, so it won't be too bad. The sun will heat up the cab a bit and make it bearable, too much snow/ice yet to move the truck to the garage.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
I spent the last few days stripping the paint off a hood I just bought. Looks like my old hood will take less work than the new one. $100 wasted.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
Another update for the continuing saga of installing a Camaro dash in my '65 C10 SWB SS: Test fit a "Covans" aftermarket dash panel. I was amazed at how well this fit with only some slight trimming. This will allow me to use stock dash mount style gauges.
Now I need to drop some serious "coin" for gauges. Also attached my floor handbrake cables up to the rear brakes. I was pleased to find that the hand brake works great. Brakes get good and tight with still some extra ratchet pull yet to go. Last edited by lakeroadster; 01-31-2010 at 08:07 PM. |

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
I tured the crappy green firewall, black. I am going to try and get the engine and tranny stabbed in this weekend.
