YEs, 3/4 ton... actually shot it with satin black rustoleum with the old trusty purple harbor freight paint gun....the top is metallic bronze rattle can, but theres alittle tiger striping... its been alot of fun teaching myself and it looks pretty dang good!

I put the Ol girl to bed for the winter; was hoping for at least 1 more nice day. Had to give that up.

jakeblues652 · 11-28-2010, 11:09 PM

SIXT8LOU · 11-28-2010, 11:50 PM

dan76 · 11-30-2010, 05:31 PM

Replaced fuel pump today.

ItsRandy · 12-04-2010, 12:52 AM

I picked up my brand new Strange Engineering 9" with Wilwood brakes.

C. M. Wolf · 12-04-2010, 12:59 AM

Scraped the snow off it, checked the plugin heater, listened to her purrr awhile, and gave her a pat on the hood as I tucked her back into the snow bank for the night.

Did I mention it was a bit cold around here?

You must be up north somewhere....

Decided to clean ALL the glass since I had to razor off the BIG YELLOW TOW TAG that some dogood Officer put on my DAILY DRIVER today. Have a call in to find out WHY it was tagged & can't wait to hear if it was just ASSUMED DEAD since it's not that pretty & always sits on the street (I'm not working right now). I take my kid to school in it every morning though. Apparently they got nothing better to do.

ItsRandy · 12-07-2010, 01:20 AM

I bought a new cowl induction hood and tail gate for my 69. Installed the hood.

Painted inner grill yesterday, got it put it back in today. Reinstalled the radiator that I had flushed and soldered up. Shined up the upper rad brackets and the hood latch plate with a coat of rusto. Lastly I modified my hood latch to a remote cable and disable the hook from opening with the stock latch. You can pop the hood up but to pull the hook back to open you have to reach behind the license plate. Quick way of keeping looky loos out.

flashed · 12-07-2010, 02:03 PM

Nothing yet ,but my wife did stop at O'Reileys and got my new radiator since the old one just bled out .Now if my gas tank and sending unit would arrive I could put her back on the road soon. Shes rough and ugly but I sure have missed driving her this week.

kcsa75 · 12-07-2010, 09:36 PM

Hubscrub · 12-07-2010, 09:59 PM

They are "decals" from whitegauges.com (I think that's the right way to spell it). Reasonable. Good people and easy to install.

magwakeenercew2jh · 12-08-2010, 12:58 AM

Oops!

http://www.whitegauges.net

Here they are before the tach.

Frank71 · 12-13-2010, 01:32 AM

Just installed a hidden hitch from early classics enterprises. Simple install, fast shipping, great people to work with.

oldblue1968chevy · 12-07-2010, 10:13 PM

glider_6969 · 12-07-2010, 10:46 PM

not exactly today but the past weekend. Finally got the truck back from paint,,

looks awesome I'm glad I picked the colour choices. Started to put some of the lights and mirrors, door handles back on and the rear bumper. I finished staining the wood in the box and clear coated with a marine grade clear. The wood was original, what a pain to sand down that was

. Sorry guys haven't had a chance to update here with pics yet will do as soon as I get more stuff back on it. Can't wait to show it off and get some feed back from here.

Jacfourteen · 12-13-2010, 02:20 AM

I Changed my valve cover gaskets and put my bed back on.

**RenoKeene** · 12-13-2010, 09:44 AM

Pulled the old fuel and brake lines off of Shorty, removed the engine stands, stripped the hardware off the doors, pulled the emergency brake mech, visors & clips and rear view mirror from the cab. Drank a beer and stared at my pile of stuff....this is going to make a great truck! Also decoded the VIN....it's a 69'

Mxracer202 · 12-13-2010, 01:38 PM

FINALLY got my engine hoist!!! and a stand all for $110 ive been waiting for this so i can finally start on the spare I6 thats gonna be put in my 67 for a while, took a ton of pics but have yet to load them on, pulled the old farmer tires off, got some used ones for free just so she can "ROLL''

getting the tires ready to be mounted on my slots, made good progress yesterday in a short time. just need more money...dont we all. well i think im ready to start a build thread! maybe later tonight! other than the motor tipping in the back of the truck and puking oil everywhere it was a good day.

quick question. ok so i cant decode the engine number ive looked ALOT and its kind of frustrating all i remember off the top of my head is it ends in THS and came off of a 70's ish suburban. and it has 6'' side covers so is it a for SURE 292??
