What did you do to your truck today? - Page 49 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Slow Build · 05-23-2010, 11:12 PM

I'm doing the same thing I was doing yesterday and will be doing tomorrow. Trying to finish my oil change. I'm trying to deal with a leaking spin on filter adapter the the PO installed.

Didn’t really get to finish cause we went to the race in charlotte all day Saturday but could have knocked it out in a full weekend.

I laid out the bed wood and strips yesterday. Slow progress with the truck at one location and the bed at another.

burbguy · 05-23-2010, 11:16 PM

I pulled the tranny crossmember from my parts truck, and also got the cab pulled from it as well, and swapped onto my swb. Looks way better, with a complete cab on it. I need to order the engine harness so that I can finish hooking up the big block...thats this weeks project...

scotts62 · 05-28-2010, 08:32 PM

And you really really like "Red and White" '60-'66 Chevy/GMC trucks!

bubba327 · 05-28-2010, 11:07 PM

No short beds --No big back windows either -- Tony wait there is something wrong with this picture!!

But they still look good to me

Happy memorial day weekend to all

*LILRED66* · 05-28-2010, 11:15 PM

Birds of a feather, flock together. The '60-'63's are hanging together at the shop and the big back windows are at the paint shop.

scotts62 · 05-28-2010, 11:41 PM

Ah i knew you had some in there somewhere

bubba327 · 05-29-2010, 12:07 AM

Ahhh... It is all good now .......... Thanks for clearing that up Tony

**Chevy Fleetside** · 05-29-2010, 11:30 AM

I got some new parts for my truck but didn't do anything to the truck. I picked these up from Pick and pulls half price day. The Grill support was $18 and the carb was $25 and the Truions were in the bottom of the tool bag. OOps..

I paid $50 and some change for it all. I also snagged some bolts. Why not, they only fall on the ground and do nothing anyway.
There was only one ding in the grill support and the carb was a rebuilt one so I really don't know what I have. If it works then I won't have to rebuild my other one.

Do not forget to change the air in the tires and put in the summer air

glendale · 05-29-2010, 02:43 PM

nothing to my truck. but i almost have this to driver status. and that is awesome i have been working on it for almost five years..

markeb01 · 05-30-2010, 09:00 PM

After several months of weather delays, I finally got the opportunity to paint my wheels black. After a few more hours under the heat lamps they'll be back on by tomorrow.

*LILRED66* · 05-31-2010, 12:54 PM

This may help.

jbgroby · 05-31-2010, 02:18 PM

Good info.

sams60gmc · 06-06-2010, 08:59 PM

Yesterday I took my truck down to my work. Today a buddy and I chopped off the rear end and welded in my new rear clip.

Today I spent a few hors test fitting and drilling on the new bed wood for my truck. It was 100 dgrees outside so progress was slow...

bubba327 · 06-06-2010, 11:04 PM

Bent a new exhaust pipe and installed a shorty glasspac. What a rumble- but I like it!! Name: IMG_2565.jpg

the turnout piece is temporary until get the bed back on.

fryer1979 · 06-07-2010, 12:13 AM

No pictures to post today since all of my work has been done from my office here at work. Today I managed to work a deal with a guy for a 1981 Chevy 1/2 ton in trade for an old rifle I had laying around and was wanting to sell. This newer Chevy will give me the parts for the disc brake and power steering swap, and it also includes a running/driving 350/TH350 combo. But get this: that motor and tranny aren't Chevy, they're OLDSMOBILE! This should be crazy fun. I'll post some pics up when I pick up the truck this Friday.

rendus · 06-07-2010, 08:51 PM

Cut out the passenger rocker, front cab support and the rusted-through parts of the floorboard. Piecing the new parts together was one of the most frustrating things I've did in a while. Who engineered all those parts plus the front fender bolting into one bracket????

sams60gmc · 06-08-2010, 12:03 AM

Today I cut notches out of my bed to clear the axle and set the bed up on the frame along with the fenders to get an idea of how its coming together.
