What did you do to your truck today?

[GMCMG]

Worked on the '62 today - the '64 hasn't made any progress since I got it stripped to the frame, and I needed to work on something I could feel good about!!!
Tore the steering column apart to replace horn/signal switch and harness. Turns out (aside from the switch having disintegrated from age) that the PO had cut the wiring harness for an unexplained reason and tossed half of it. Now my horn works. Lights don't work, but everything is good at the switch...
Got the side window installed (previous passenger window broken out thanks to kids with rocks).
Replaced the choke cable and made some necessary adjustments. Starts WAY easier now.
Pulled the grille and bumper for a swap.
Attempted to install a different grille on her, then discovered (thanks to some help from this site) that the grille I had was for a large truck, not a pickup, so she's faceless...

Finally got my chassis indoors and up on jackstands
got front x member assembly out,frame(front part) cleaned up and primed
Next: paint front of chassis,install '75 front xm with disc brakes,PS box,idler arm etc.
to get her back on 4 wheels again.
Feels good to get back on her again(the truck guys,the truck)
I seem to have been hogtied lately (LOL llike, a year)on progress,hopefully I can make good strides this summer

I had a very productive weekend. Got my quarter panels painted...
Painted my 65 Impala Steering wheel (I'm putting on the truck this weekend).

I spent yesterday driving from Atlanta GA to Baton Rouge LA to pick up a SWB 4x4 frame from board member 62 short step. Today I picked it up and tomorrow I drive back. Great to meet another board member.

Looked for the vin number tags with no luck. Now after getting out of the shop I found the replies to my thread asking about this issue, so I should be able to find the number later on tonight or tomorrow. I also pulled the front wheels off so I could swap the flat tires out for an old set of rollers I had laying around. Now at least she will roll without firing up the compressor every time. I have to wait until I get the paperwork going before I get too involved in tearing her apart though.

I curled one of my lower control arms. Not a good thing, there was a steel plate in the road (Construction) and I nailed it. Sounded like a big gong and the truck almost came to a complete stop. Luckily I didnt twist anything or lose anything but I did manage to bend under my loweer control arm.

Lesson learned- Pick up the truck before you drive it!

After searching for over a year, i finally found a world class T-5 transmission from a v-8 camaro. 2.95 first and a nice tall .063 overdrive. this was like the hardest thing to get my paws on for my truck.Will bolt right in to the 62.

I happen to be riding by the Napa store on my way home and remembered to stop and get some plug wires.. yee hawww.

wasted a lot of time thinking about it and looking at stuff on here

It's not "wasted time" if it is what you wanted to do.

Life is short, enjoy the ride!

Went out to the shop this morning and found my vin number. After looking at some of the decoders in this site I learned my truck is actually a 1965 C-10.
