Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
Bought a new cluster, steering column, wiring harness, and radiator. And started tackling the rusted out inner cowl. Spot weld drilling in a bit.

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
Thanks I was pleased - I’m going to use it on the k20 this spring when I update the power steering box. Turns out the guy who built it also has a 1972 Blazer he works on.

Wired and tested gauge panel
Got it wired and bench tested. I was able to test all but the tach and oil pressure gauge. The oil pressure gauge did what it was supposed to with power on and grounding the sender terminal. I will have to wait for the final verdict when it's connected to the running motor.

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
Prepping my bed for paint. I’m going to give the art of painting a shot. Just trying to match the front, old paint job look. If it goes well I might paint the whole thing myself in a couple years.

We had a dry day of opportunity, so the bench was removed to repair the beginnings of a small tear.

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
I picked up the bed for mine Sunday! 7hr round trip was worth every mile. Thanks to member Flashed on here.
The bed should match up very well with the cab.

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
Actually did it night before last but close enough. Received my first bunch of parts for the small block 400 build that will be going in Ole Greenie so went to friends place that is doing the build and unboxed and checked the parts for damage and correctness.. Next up, the heads in month or 2 maybe 3..

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
New 15 inch steering wheel from Ebay.
And an old lecarra horn button. Much improved over the 88-94 wheel that was in it.

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
With the weather in the 50s today, I decided to take the truck for a quick ride around the neighborhood. It reminded me that I really need to try and correct the wandering steering problem I have.

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
OregonNed,
Holy smokes, I cannot even say how good that wood looks! Masterpiece. I've not gotten up the nerve to start pulling the front end from under mine just yet so I scrubbed her down and rubbed on the rust a bit. Had to do some repairs on my trailer so that was about it for the weekend.

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
I got these last week for the Ramp truck. Next day I left for 2 weeks. I hope to get them installed soon. Maybe even some flame throwers installed to!

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
I'm having these blasted for my beater C-20. The guy doing them sent me this pic. asking if he should carry on, because one took two hours with black diamond media. Thumbs up, he does great work. I feel his pain. Horrible paint job, but miserable stuff, I've had far more success removing powder coat with aircraft paint remover.
Any reason to polish these? They'll already be far nicer than anything else on this truck. Depending on model, nothing tops vintage cyclone to me. My C-20 already has a set, but the rears are $450 a tire too big. OT: Discovered there are at least two types of cyclone western turbines. One has an option for a push through hub cap as opposed using lug nuts. I bought these, cuz they're cheaphttps://www.google.com/url?sa=i&url=...AAAAAdAAAAABAF
