I fired up both the 63 and the 66 and let them run for a half hour.

Re: What did you do to your truck today part II.
I tried to open the doors on mine and start it, but the ice is still too thick to get in, so I watched the icicles grow throughout the day.

Re: What did you do to your truck today part II.
Finally got to the initial coats of body filler for my fender modifications and repairs...lots of sanding ahead for me...
Widened rear wheel tubs, plus welded up several holes the previous owner drilled in the originals...

Re: What did you do to your truck today part II.
well got my "correct" pre-bent trans cooler lines had to make some mods the trans inlet and outlet part of the lines went up facing the hood? anyone every hear of a rad that had the ports on the bottom? not sure how that would work as the rad sits on top of a crossmemeber with no cutouts for trans lines, unless that style of rad had no cooler and a seperate trans cooler was used from the factory.

Re: What did you do to your truck today part II.
Weather finally warmed up enough to get a few things done. Dropped the back 2" with blocks from way2lo2. Now the front looks ridiculously high. Next step is to bring the front down with some new springs.
Also replaced the old ramhorn exhaust manifolds with some new block hugger headers. Reset the timing. Installed a new radio antenna.

Re: What did you do to your truck today part II.
Do you need a cat on old trucks? I like the small rear window, and the truck looks nice. You need back up lights. I will be putting them on my 64. And are old trucks pollution tested? We have safety testing here in Texas.

Re: What did you do to your truck today part II.
Hey gsr! Thank you.... I'm really wanting the big window... In Cali you don't have to have any smog pollution test on any car made before 1975.
