What did you do to your truck today!

[cafetony]

mounted cab and fenders for fitment

[davtay68]

Well, it all started by fixing a seat belt. By the end I had the seat out, carpet out and door trim off. Now What???? LOL

[Lanman1972]

Replaced the starter, easy swap once I returned the one given to me for the correct part. This thing is awesome, big smile everytime I drive it.

Bought it a present...
An NP241 planetary doubler off pirate. Not really a doubler since its 2.7:1 but...
Now I have a late NV4500 trans, (soon to have unless I get burned) doubler, NP205. All 32 spline.
I was working on an NP203/NP205 doubler and found that the NP241/NP205 setup was cheaper, easier, probably shorter and certainly weighs less, plus it's clockable to tck the 205 up out of the way.
I figured since a PO had scrapped the original 205 for a 208 for better gearing, I'd solve that problem for good. Also since I need to get the driveshafts cut, why not do it right the first time...

I parted a Suburban to get the round pattern NP205 and made about $700 so $650 for the doubler is painful, but I talked myself into it. Not too difficult.

Drove over to a friends and scavenged the clutch petal & linkage for a transmission swap.

I liked the wheels on my challenger so much, I found Boze made one pretty
close so I went with them, Plus they will build you what to want.

Is that a local truck? Floor looks a little rusty. Could just be the pic. Always cool to see more guys in and around lower AZ.

Santa's Big brown truck came to visit today. Now I can get started

[AKChevyman]

Well all I did today was add the rear brake distribution block to the axle. This weekend is a different answer I had two full days of thrash on the truck. I got the Seat modified to sit a couple inches lower. I also buttoned up the Air ride stuff so now I have absolutely no leaks. As soon as the new cable comes in for my camera I will get picture and a video of it doing it's thing.

[Lanman1972]

I replaced the lock set, Doors, Ignition and Glove Box. On another note, I loaded my previous girlfriend on a truck headed to Florida! Bye Bye Baby! We had a 17 year affair, but it was time. Love my Truck!

[mud.man.rj]

Wow lanman, you must love your truck cause that was a pretty girlfriend, more time for the truck now.

[Lanman1972]

Yes, she was beautiful. I just traded up for a 2 year younger model. In stead of the lean athlete, I went for the Corn Fed Iowa girl(Truck). It was a great car, all numbers matching and correct date codes. 350/350 4 speed. So far it seems truck parts are cheaper than Corvette parts.

Horne, What are you going to do with the floor. I have some rust as well, but my skills are not up to patching. I am not a Handy Manny.

Just so : built for comfort & work , not for speed .

Far less drama with the Iowa Girl too .

[mmiddle]

Oh, but the curves you get to enjoy with that long and lean beauty!

When I finish my 70CST I will start on a C-3 for the wifey. Curvy hottie driving a curvy hottie.
But, I do agree, there is something about those low maintenance corn-feed girls that like working hard and getting dirty!

[Lees68GMC]

I'm an Old Fart, don't see real well at night any more so, the Old Dim T3 yellow headlights are gone, replaced with New Projection Headlights. Upgraded wiring harness & relays of course too.

[AKChevyman]

Some proof that I have been working on mine.

I painted my door panels today. It was finally 70 degrees here today & no wind! Yippee ki yay!!

The before and after pics. IMO the black looks sooooo much better than that orange/red panel. The replacement arm rests will be here next week. I also replaced the window channel weather stripping (door glass felt run channel) and the fuzzies aka the scrappers or anti-rattle on the driver side door. Yahoo!! no more glass rattle when I shut the door.

[texjake]

I worked on replacing the passenger side window regulator. The whole door is just about gutted. Once I get the new window regulator installed then the new window channel weather stripping (door glass felt run channel) and the fuzzies aka the scrappers or anti-rattle will be installed. Then both doors will be done. Next will be the sound deadener, jute, carpet, cab weather-stripping & new door sills - after I replace that dang leaking heater core!

[effects66]

Finally mounted the rims and started to test and tune...

Ordered a new carb, heater core, and blower motor from summit. Then placed a call to Porterbuilt for my suspension. It's going to be a long 6 weeks.
