What did you do to your truck today? - Page 35 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I dug into both my front fender bottoms to see what kind of patching they'll need.

The right side had a 4" x 5" metal patch riveted in and then slathered with bondo. The left side had just bondo filling the rust holes and dents. A half inch over most of it and a clob the size of a baby's fist in the biggest hole. Gotta love previous owners!

I replaced the windshield and the hood today on my '64 C10. Thanks to my father in law who new how to put the windshield in. I never would've gotten it on my own.

64GMCHorsepower · 03-06-2010, 11:05 PM

I actually installed my bed fill gas filler, installed the peel-a-mat in the doors to quieten them down, put the right bolts to hold my front bumper on, and installed almost all of the bolts holding the bed wood and the strips together.....

oh, and I sprayed off the truck to help keep it clean.....

Well I was off today so I did some cleaning for preparation for this Spring when I will start back on her.
I checked the truck all over and seen all the troubled areas that needs to be addressed.
The truck has sat for 4 years so there is a lot issues that need to be addressed.
My plans are to beef up the Power Train Set-Up.
Engine, trans, front and rear suspension.
The theme idea is going to stay the same.

Here are some of the Pics I took today.

I really like your truck and the direction you're taking it. Anxious to see the progress coming up.

Thanks Bud!
I have to stop looking at you interior!
It's giving me ideas.
Yea, I am going to start back on her soon.
It will be a slow progress though.
Little bit of money along with a little bit of time it seems.
I will keep the updates coming.
I just miss driving her, and barking the tires when I shift the gears manually....

Front End:

joehalford01 · 03-07-2010, 12:35 AM

Finally got the sob 305 motor in my 65 ready to pull, couldn't finish though, I'm doing the engine swap in grass so I needed to pick up some plywood to roll the engine hoist on

Alan's Classic · 03-07-2010, 12:52 AM

Hung my fuel tank using these.

64GMCHorsepower · 03-07-2010, 12:14 AM

What kinda BS would you need to run those.......and I am assuming you have a narrowed rear end?

Sillyoldman · 03-07-2010, 12:22 AM

I set up another bedroom

No room in shop. At least its dry. Other than that I only had time to bend & install one brake line.

**Chevy Fleetside** · 03-07-2010, 12:26 AM

I cut up an 8 ft bed (only an 81 year model) then cut up some of the frame and rear diff and stuffed it all in my Ford Ranger. Oh yeah. And a front crossmember out of a 66 c 20. Drum brakes and all. Next time I go to my shop space, I think I am going to bring the front end home so I can clean and rebuild it.

markeb01 · 03-07-2010, 12:27 AM

Bed room!! I get it!

markeb01 · 03-07-2010, 01:07 AM

Very cool. Where did you source those?

62 Bowtie · 03-07-2010, 02:08 AM

Thanks Nailz

I kept goin back and forth about painting or staining but the test on Mar-K's web site convinced me, also while the wood was out I had a chance to apply POR-15 to the frame and rails getting all that rust off the bedsides was fun too!

hornet53 · 03-09-2010, 11:18 PM

Haven't posted in a while. Hell, haven't done anything to the truck in a while. Too much work and not enough, um.. truck related work, I guess. But I did get a chance to hit it with some Scotch-Brite to knock off the chalky crap i try to pass off as paint.

Here it is, aired up and half scrubbed. you can see the difference for yourselves. The bed has not been touched, the cab and fenders have been washed with water and a sponge with a scotch-brite side.
