Re: What did you do to your truck today!
Welded a 5" long crack on the rear of my frame right where the bumper mounts, not too sure how it got there,the bumper i took off was welded to the frame so ether it was welded because the frame was cracked somehow? or it cracked from being welded? the crack was almost directly in the center of and parallel to the welds.
Also made and mounted a ground strap for my fuel cell and ran the sending unit wire up to the cab but did not terminate the cab end yet.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
Bought some more Ralley wheels for it .I am currently running 6" van ralleys ,but now also have a set each of 7" and 8" truck ralleys .Now I need to figure out what is wrong with the sand blaster I borrowed so I can get them all blasted and painted and decide which ones to keep. My wife thinks it strange that I have 4 sets of wheels for one truck .

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
Had a great time replacing the heater core in my 70 C-20. Found a bird nest stuck in there and while I was at it found got rid of some useless wiring that the previous owner had redone but never removed. I got heat now and a little less weight so she might go faster.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
I had a productive day, I painted the inside of my tailgate, front bed panel, and the white on top of the doors. The paint is dupont light blue #507.
Tomorrow, I am supposed to get some parts that I order earlier in the week. New headlight bezels and attaching hardware, new door handles, and new rear cab molding. With in the next month I plan have on having the interior painted, seat recovered, new dash pad, and new carpeting. I am excited! ![]() Keith |

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
Check with Pep Boys if your looking for the inexpensive aluminum tube frame and tarp variaty, they usually have the lowest price. Whatever you buy make sure its fastened down to the ground, fence and even your truck this winter as the wind will want to take it away, I use bike tie down straps and rope, and pep boys even carries ground screws that are nothing more than dog runner lead screws from a pet store but they work.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
Finally finished tearing out all the original ducting for the A\C and heater. Taped/ pappered everything up and now ready to start sanding and primer, sometime this week. As soon as I get a chance I'll post up some pics.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
I've had another productive day! I finally had some time to take the grill out and sand it down smooth and paint it white. I also installed new head light bezels and my new chevy bowtie.
Everything had been coming along smoothly which is definitely nice! Keith |

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
Worked on the bed wood today. Cut it all down to size. I still need to notch the boards. But its looking like a truck bed again.
[IMG] Best part is both my sons worked on this with me. [IMG]

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
bed looks nice, I opened up all 8 boxes from CPP drooled a bit, turned the heater on in the shop, dropped off my lower ball joints to be pressed in and as soon as they are ready I pick them up and head into a hopefully somewhat warm shop and start painting all the new parts and final coat my frame in preparation for the rest of my parts needed to do the install of all my parts

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
put a new hei distributer in. The old rotor moved about a 1/4 inch. The rotor was hitting the contacts in the cap. How it ran is beyond me.
67 slider I like the bed. Most people avoid knots but for some reason I like the character. |

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
I walked by mine and ran my hand down the side as I went outside to work on the septic system.
