Re: What did you do with your truck today, Part 3
Nice price. The cab looks great. Are the cowls and cab corners good?

Re: What did you do with your truck today, Part 3
evilokc, I'd be interested in the windshield wiper assemblies, i.e. the linkages, wiper mounts etc. I don't need the vacuum motor but will take it if you want it all to go as a unit.
Thanks Dave |

Spray-bombed my front air deflector apron and the underside of my inner fenders.

Re: What did you do with your truck today, Part 3
I discovered that the horn relay was not connected to the column wiring so I fished the wires out of the harness and connected them, now the relay clicks when I press the horn button. That was the last item on my list of things to do.
On the way home from work I picked up my doors from the body shop, the plan is to paint the jambs and get them hung so the truck can go to the paint shop. My painter is delivering the car he finished up for a customer sometime this week. He came over on Sunday to look things over and said it all looks good. It feels like the weight of the world is lifted off my shoulders. Everything seems to be falling into place. While the truck is at his shop I plan to empty my garage and finish the drywall, give it a coat of paint and get everything reorganized for reassembly. |

Re: What did you do with your truck today, Part 3
Hey, your mockup motor is nicer than my real motor, ha ha! And with that configuration on the front suspension, it's going to be VERY low.

Re: What did you do with your truck today, Part 3
Whew, I was dangerously close to going over my 5-minute limit today. Funny how that "5 minute" thing has become my max
I've been waiting on a set of hood bolts. When they arrived I was dismayed to find that the spring bolts were fine thread, while the receptacles in my hood are coarse thread. WTH - are the bolts wrong or has someone changed the threads in my spring bolt holes? The hood spring threads were solid so I converted standard coarse thread bolts into shoulder bolts by adding a shim made from a piece of 3/8" fuel line. They should work exactly like real shoulder bolts. Tomorrow, mount the hood!

Re: What did you do with your truck today, Part 3
Being I am not working today to go to my co-workers funeral I got out into the garage for a little work. I am not kidding you, he was a car guy, he loved my truck and would have been building something like this if he could have, being his money and house situation it was a no go. I figured it wasn't disrespectful but quite the opposite go get out there and work on it for him today.
I got the firewall spot blasted using my little "Speedblaster." Clamped a piece of metal on the hole so I wouldn't be blowing sand all over the garage, worked like a charm. I then blasted the piece that gets welded on, yes it was wasted. Then made a piece to replace the rusted area. And gas welded it together. And the last photo is of Martin, good bye buddy. Brian

Re: What did you do with your truck today, Part 3
If you know me, you know I had to shoot a reenactment the minute I got home with my new seat. And thank you mom in heaven for the first shot in '74.

Re: What did you do with your truck today, Part 3
So tonight it was odd, I drove home a Tesla and took my family out so everyone could drive it. I just let them drive as they wanted, omg we drove all over the city, about 25 miles! My wife, omg it was so cute, she is very conservative not a hot rodder. But she nailed it and throughout her whole time driving she kept hitting the throttle. LOL But it was so much fun, we came home, I got out to the garage and did my five minutes. A few welds, a few grinds, did a little test with my wire wheel and grinder on the floor to see if it would get it good enough for primer. HELL YEAH it did, better than I thought it would. I will get the inside all primed this weekend, right on!

Re: What did you do with your truck today, Part 3
I got out there and cleaned up behind the garage so I can put the cab out there to sand blast on it. Tired of covering my lawn with sand. I also got my extra roof in the trailer to haul it to the shop scrap metal bin. I cut a few pieces from the roof and from the inside of the extra inner panel to see if I could use it on the lower corners on the inside of the cab, but nope, forget it, they are off to the scrap metal bin.
