Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
Did a little more assembly on my 270 this am. Later today I'll be painting the bell housing and cleaning up a few more parts. Once motor and tranny are done I'll be re-working the engine compartment.

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
Painted more bed sections, wet sanded and worked on bed sides. Mounted tires on rims and installed.I also bought an externally mounted electric choke assembly for my qjet. I had to fabricate a bracket, still making final adjustments.

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
Do you have a part number for the electric choke? I would like to see a pic of your mounting bracket.
The paint job looks good. |

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
Spent a week getting my truck lightly bolted together and moveing under it's own power..... just enough to tease me into dreaming of the day it's driving down the road complete.
only punched the gas once to check out what it has for motivation ![]() Then I drove it onto a trailer and towed it out to my buddies place for final body work and paint ... just a little bit closer to being finaly done |
