Re: What did you do to your truck today?
started stripping down one of my trucks for parts. It is a 3/4 ton and I am just going to swapall the parts and put them on a 66 short frame.. I finally took the spare out and it is a 15" 8 lug wheel. The tire is a 7.50-15. It seems to be a split rim with the split.. First one i have even seen and I was a tire Tech back in the early 80's. Maybe I did see one but don't remember.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
Thanks and yes I know.. I was a tire tech back in the early 80's and acually worked on split rims a bit. This tire will probably be taken apart and the rim scrapped. To dangerous to be used on any trucks.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
poured the oil into my new 327 - went to crawl under the old girl an hour later and there's a sizable puddle under the truck... reached down and felt around the drain plug - thinking ****e man - so disgusted I walked back into the house and told myself I have a mess to clean up tomorrow... figured it just wasn't going to be my day.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
Fun reading through here ans seeing daily progress on randomness so I'll play along.
Today/this week I painted my new wheels a color I like to call "Cherry Coke" and got them ready for mock up. I also cut out all the old floor bed metal (had previouslly put it in to cover the airbag set up) to get ready for my wood bed to go back in. Which I also stained and cleared. Lastly I sprayed the dash in it's first coats of metal flake to "motivate" me forward on the interior design. I'll start up a build/progress thread soon here.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
I would say new bumper, but maybe paint it white. Depending on what look you are going for and if the front bumper is chrome.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
While not actually something on the truck... more something for the truck to go on... Installed a two post lift while temperature wasn't in the single digits. Tomorrow I need to pickup some hydraulic oil and finish up the wiring before putting the 65 C20 on it.
Charlie.
