What did you do to your truck today!

[68GMCCustom]

got my headers installed!

[BossHogg69]

Got some rubber on the ground, just a mockup - still a lot of fitting, trimming and cussing(!)... Then powdercoating and trying to put it back together without beating it all up...

[rakerkman]

I put a glasspack on my 70 C20 350/TH350. The old muffler was cracked in half since all but two exhaust hangers were broken when I bought the truck. Overall it has a great sound.

I finished painting my tailgate and put in on. I tried pinstriping also. The letters are striped in red.

[67Slider]

Fired her up cause she has been sitting outside while I work on the bed. My wife won't let me leave her mustang out for more than a couple of nights. Drove her up and down the street a couple of time with my wife sitting next to me. She likes the old bench seat cause she can slide right up next to me. Got two coats of Pelucid on the bed wood. Need to do one more coat on the top and flip em' over to do the bottom. After that three coats of Helmsman Spar Urethane. Damn that Pelucid (POR15) is expensive! Got to make due with a quart ($46) at the local paint supply store.

I have been working on my bed. I build and installed some tubs and tomorrow false the floor 2'

[b.eddy's72]

I got my motor and tranny dropped in finally since 96

[raider65]

I messed around with my dash bezel. The guage bezel was my practice one and the three hole will be the one going back in the truck...next step will be white face gauges

What kind of wood is that? Should be beautiful!

I got a killer deal on it from a place out here in Colorado. It is Blue Stain, beetle killed pine. The dark color is a natural patina from the beetle that kills off the tree. The Pelucid darkens up the wood a bit but other than that it is an all natural finish. I bought 8, 1x8x8 boards for $45 and ripped them and chanelled them to fit.

68GMCCustom-I Just set my engine and transmission in today. Where did you order your exhaust headers?? They look great!

[dhaymaker]

I didn't actually "do" anything to it...but I'm trying to buy another '67 - '72 (this one is a '71). As many of these trucks as I've had, you think I would learn about sinking money into one of them...but, I just keep coming back for more! We'll see if this works out and I'll keep you posted!

[magwakeenercew2jh]

I really didn't do anything today, either. It snowed. I went over to the shop and diddled around with the linkage on the Ede. Since I painted the inside of the hood the other day, I had help from my daughter flipping it "right-side-up" and putting it on the front clip, which is sitting outside the shop on saw horses. Dragged the front bumper into the shop, also. I wanted to check what I'm now calling the "dog doors" (after the dog ate the paint the other day).

Now, I'm sitting in the office playing with a horn mod...since I finally figured out how to mount the steering wheel, I get to play with the horn fab.

[magwakeenercew2jh]

Found this in the "interior" box. I remember pulling it out of the dash up where the "Throttle" pull would "normally" be on the '68.

Cleaned it up a little while I drank coffee and dreamed of sunshine. 100 sqft of sound deadener came via the Brown Army late today.

[bsteele]

Installed the 5" drop springs in the rear and the drop spindles up front. Finally got it sitting back on the ground. Leaving in the morning to go to Clemson. Golf in the afternoon, then football on Saturday. Go COCKS!!!!!!!!!

[unreconstructed1]

tuned the carb on the 69, jumped off the 67, cleaned out the 97, and got mad again about my 96 not being here

[Sport/Truck]

I dropped the driveline to replace the carrier bearing.

[Hottrucks]

I did nothing and it looks like its going to be that way for awhile..there calling for Icey roads tonight so that means the salt will be out...See yea in the spring......time to go into hunter gather mode so the old girl will have some new goodies for spring....

[dmwphoto]

I replaced the dual exhaust. The one going out the back was hitting the axle and frame after I lowered it. Ran new out the sides just before the rear tires. Pics later. I put Magnaflow mufflers on man it sounds SWEET!

[69CST-V]

Installed a new floor pan and mocked up my PB Dropmember.

[69CST-V]

Here are the after pics.

[NINERS1]

[60ratrod]

ordered a replacement driver's side front cab mount and floor pan for my 72 gmc and ordered some suspension parts for the wife's malibu off ebay last night. oh and i got my electric fuel pump for my tpi conversion yesterday! now all i need for the tpi swap is the FAST sensor kit and then i'll just have to do a reseal job on the motor and then find the time to put the motor in(after i finish the front suspension overhaul and brake conversion on the malibu). my truck needs some time in the garage damn it

[nickp51chevy]

I finished swapping out my engine. Now I just have to deal with the timing and the heater core and I'll be good to go.
