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 ?

Disassembled my gauges from a 49 chevy pickup. Need to rebuild but want to get replacement metal faces trying not to use stickers. Anyone have any ideas?

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 ?

Took my old beast for a 60 mile spin around town and realized it would be a lot more fun in this AZ heat if I would get on putting in an ac system, but 1600 miles on it now and no real problems to speak of yet.

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?

Got the original cigar lighter I purchased working, contacts needed cleaned up. Painted bumper brackets and some other misc. parts. Got the headlight trim rings ready for primer. Inventoried electrical wiring stuff and started mods on from turn signal housing for dual filiament bulbs. Body work on back of bed at the old hinge bolt locations. As you can see I am at that "lots of small tasks" to do and am going in circles as I complete a stage in each one!

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?

I bought me an original bench seat from a 48 to fit in my 49.........and I found it in the U.K.!!!!
These seats are as rare as chicken teeth over here.
