Re: What did you do to your truck today part III
I ordered these knock offs and tried them on today. I just don't like them. They look a little better with the trim ring but still not that much. Back they go.

Re: What did you do to your truck today part III
Agreed. I think if they didn't stick out so far they'd look much better. But I have always wondered how they'd look on our trucks.

Re: What did you do to your truck today part III
I unfortunately found out today my pass side window crank is stripped out. PO had installed lots of silicone to fix it haha. Didn't work very well. But I do have my new oak wood stained and cut ready to seal for my bed though.

Re: What did you do to your truck today part III
Thanks to jonzcustomshop's advice I cut the end of the frame rails(on 73' chassis) off to mock up fitment of original frame rail ends(61'). Now I got to measure , trim, fit, and trim, and tack it on....see if it all fits together.....This will probably be the last chassis swap I'll do LOL it's a PITA...
I admire guys like Jon who have the creativity and patience to build works of art.....I lack the patience lol.... |

Re: What did you do to your truck today part III
I pulled the valve cover on my 292 from the 64 lwb I just bought. Slight film of milky oil. Pretty sure I caught it before any real damage has been done. Next up will be to yank the head and dig a little deeper...
I also washed and waxed the whole truck. Here's a before and after!!! |

Re: What did you do to your truck today part III
Hooked up wiring for Borg Warner Overdrive on my 4 speed! Happy to say at least the Solenoid works and does shift into Overdrive as it should

Re: What did you do to your truck today part III
Mounted the cab on the chassis. Sorting all the parts on my new project. Finding out what parts I need, even though I was told all the parts are there (not).
