What did you do to your truck today!

[In The Ten Ring]

I got home late last night to find all the parts I ordered from Jeremiah and Jenn's junkyard! I unboxed the battery try and brackets. No wonder my truck only gets 12 mpg: everything on it weighs a ton! LOL

I'll try and inspect the fender and radiator core support this weekend.

Loaded her up for a trip to At$%#@r. Been waiting almost five years to get RAT up there to the C/10 Get-together.

The Boss even made cookies.

Replacing the front brakes

[Mr Handy]

This week I ordered some break parts of my, installed original mirrors with 5" rounds and replaced the giant mirrors that were on it. Today I plan to get my drive shaft idler bearing replaced and hopefully get my outer rocker welded on.

Went by the muffler shop to get a bracket fixed, ended up having them install 2 new flowmastes and dumping the exhaust before the rearend.. Sounds a lot better but gonna have them install a x-pipe next weekend

[mud.man.rj]

Haven't run an x pipe before except one in a Mustang, will it sound any different or just work better.

I installed some homemade baffles to try and quiet down my flowmasters enough to almost hear the radio. installed an antenna so I can listen to more than reverend Horton heat cd's on my radio. replaced the door weather stripping with some junkyard dodge Durango weatherstripping to try and keep the rain out of my truck. parked my truck next to a mclaren mp4-12c and came to the conclusion they are not a very good looking supercar, at least when parked next to a 67-72 c10

What good is a Mclaren anyway, trucks are cool all day everyday.

Hopefully repaired a leaky brake master cylinder. Cleaned up "some" of the rat nest they call wiring on my truck. There is a ton Im pretty sure I can get rid of because I think its from multiple stereo hack jobs, but I need to wait tell I can trace everything. For now its all zip tied and hanging under my dash, but atleast its not all hanging right over the gas pedal now.

Update

[ksshane]

awesome.. simply awesome

[In The Ten Ring]

I unboxed these:



Both are practically "New" condition! BUT...UPS had a surprise for me....



Calling a body shop Monday for an estimate. I did pay extra for insurance and even paid more for extra padding.

[rincones]

Mann. R they going to pay for the damages?

[In The Ten Ring]

I've already let the Kings know what's up and we are both upset with UPS. Jenn suggested I get an estimate and then she can contact UPS. Oh gosh I'd hate to have to send this thing back, it's such a beauty.

[Mr Handy]

I pulled my drive shaft and replaced all the u joints and the idler bearing. I also took a few pictures of my c10 and my buddy's c20

[Andy4639]

Drove the truck up to Shelby NC about 150 miles round trip. My nephew got married. Wife and I had a good day driving.

[Fitz]

Exhaust extensions on my electric dump plugs.

[DT1]

I entered her in my first car show yesterday.
Won "Best of Stock". Pretty cool.

[turbosix]

Detailed the engine bay and added a 4 barrel. Fixed some creative engineering while I was at it. If you will notice in the before shot, some PO welded the six cylinder stands to the frame instead of using the proper stands. I still have a little more to finish up.

[magwakeenercew2jh]

Unhappy to have had to put my tonneau cover on today. I like the tonneau okay. But putting it on signifies that the weather is changing
and I gotta put some coverage over the wood bed.

The Boss' car comes back from the body shop tomorrow afternoon. So, today was the dress rehersal for sending my new paint outdoors.

Even MORE unhappy that the truck cover sent by a non-forum vendor (THERE's my first mistake) was $200 worth of crap.
Idiotic fit. Substandard materials for what they promised.

Now, the fight goes on to return it.

[mud.man.rj]

Ya Mag, sad to say, not "all" deals are good right. Had a bad day lately, had mine sold on a guy's "word", missed selling it to 2 others and missed altogether when a word was not any good, sad to not trust people. Oh well, I believe things happen for a reason, that's life.

[mud.man.rj]

Are the bumper guards in front an option, don't seem to see them on most. Nice clean truck too.
