Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
I finished adding stiffeners to my floor and welded a small section in the middle of the toe board to the floor. i added stiffeners for the stock e-brake mount because it cracked the stock floor. and made one for the passenger side because i removed the lip where the stock toe board meets the floor.The rest will come off when I get some room.

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
Scrapped the 4 link for now. Went ahead and flipped the axle. I got all the rear suspension hung tonight minus the axle u bolts and lower plate which I am still looking for (my axle is just under 3". My engine is almost out of the machine shop and Im ready to have a roller again!

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
I drove mine home - I keep it in my warehouse at work as the home garage isnt really big enough to spread out in.
Have a supply of poormans dynamat and will start putting that in the truck tonight, and will try to sort out some issues with my "Chinese River" steering column while Im working in there. |

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
Thanks, Chuck. It took me a lot longer than it should have because I got disgusted with it a couple of times and quit on it for a while. I thought it should have fit up better than it did since it's all Vintage Air stuff. They are sending me some rubber grommets to go in the holes so I can't do anything more until I get those. Their tech support folks are friendly and nice to deal with though.

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
Wraped my headers, put boots on the plug wires, made new metal bases for the electric bucket seats, did a test drive to see if the new u-joints would vibrate, the engine temp went down from 215 to 185/190, and all is well.

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
I discovered that the bell housing I was going to use is a buick(starter on the right) i need one with the starter on the left. So it looks like i get to swap it for the one in my jeep.

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
Hit a dead end on the fuel door. Worked on the ac install. Noticed a saggy bed on one side, measurement revealed driver spring is flatter. Good news is I have a good spare set, but bummer is I will need to clean and install them. One step forward, two back deal!

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
I know the Feeling had to take my front china built chrome repo grille off and put stock painted one back on to realize that was causing my front center clip issues!
