Re: What did you do to your truck today!
Mounted alternator on passenger side so I can get a power steering pump in there. Search goes on for that and a 4bbl. Just keep throwing money at it

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
Over the last few weeks I have spent a little time with the wifey tearing down my '70. We removed all the interior... Shag carpet and all

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
Found out my quadajet is unusable. I managed to get the secondary needle bracket bent back to where it should be, but found one main needle is bent, and the other is broken. Good news is I have a good carb lined up, just need to collect it.
Found a set of headers for cheap, slightly used, going to clean them up and paint them. I figure headers, carb, and an intake will be enough until I can build the engine I want. Also managed to get under the rear end and found a tag bolted to the diff cover. It says my Dana 60 has 4.10:1 gears. :-)

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
Replaced the cracked and broken steering wheel. New wheel came from a Jeep Wrangler Laredo in the pick and pull yard. Had the same mounting pattern so an easy swap. I replaced the Jeep emblem with a carbon fiber button I made.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
I bought a GM door handle from a guy on here. Didn't really need it but I told him I'd buy it and I like to do what I say I will.
It's gotta be better than that repro on there now! LOL |

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
in the process of installing my rear flip kit. Got it tore apart and then everything put back into place. Decided to call it a night and take a fresh look at it in the morning to make sure we are installing the kit correctly before tightening everything down. Then moving to the front to install drop spindles and lowering springs.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
Tried to buy a NOS passenger handle but the last email from the seller was a bit confusing. I sent an clarification email but still awaiting the answer. Hopefully I can still get the handle.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
Pulled the battery out of it and put it on the charger. Its starting to freeze here and I didn't my truck running yet so I figured I better pull it than lose a brand new battery.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
Finished up the rear flip. Lowered the rear 6.5", and will probably be a little more once I install the c-notch.
Got the front end torn down and the new ball joints installed (that was fun ![]() Was hoping to get away with just installing new drop spindles and cutting a link out of the springs, but once the old springs came out it was obvious that the PO had heated the springs. So picking up some 3" dropped springs tomorrow.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
I have a 68 truck and just got done taking out my front suspension and putting in a 74 cross member and front suspension for the easy disc brake conversion. Now needing help on what engine frame brackets to use.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
Sprung a power steering leak.....
It was only a matter of time with the hose rubbing on the inner like it has been. I guess its time to get two new hoses made to the correct lengths... NAPA? Scott
