Grizz1963.
To help with visability on your sand blaster window. If you tape a thin plastic sheet on the inside of your window it will take the abuse of the blasting media. When visability gets bad remove and replace with a new one. It saves your original window. |

Waiting on some patch panels to come in, so I decided to play with the color of my wheels.

Re: What did you do to your truck today part III
Spent some time cleaning of my junkyard find. The towel was white when I started. Engine de-greaser and a nylon brush seemed to do a fine job of getting that years of hand germs off of it.

Re: What did you do to your truck today part III
Pulled my valve cover and found a loose rocker (thankfully). Fixed that, and the engine is quiet like it should be. Set timing and idle. Put in fresh Rotella with a dose of ZDDP additive, and an oversized oil filter. Greased the front end. Enjoyed my now nice-driving truck that is finally running well, and has a lot more power than when I started.

Re: What did you do to your truck today part III
Welded the angle strips onto the bed sides. Lots of effort to be sure they are in the right place.

Re: What did you do to your truck today part III
Popped the hood for the first time in a while today. Found some wicked carb leaks and the front seal on my blower needs replaced. But it's hot and I'm lazy so maybe next weekend. I did polish the wheels and bumper/grille. $50 and a Saturday and I'll be beating the truck some more.

Re: What did you do to your truck today part III
I stripped off all the crappy brown paint that was on the inside of my cab, found that someone sprayed black paint a long time ago too, what do you guys think I should use to get the black paint off besides the razors blades that I was alread using lol
