Ground down the front rotors to accept the Boss 338 20's (....it was really easy).

Tomorrow, back under for brake lines, trans linkage, etc. And then inside the cab.

I really REALLY like your wheels. I may get rid of my blingy 20s for a set of those.

Thanks. And *I Love* Austin!!!!!

Spent the day under the truck adjusting the ECE adjustable pan hard bar, bolting down the bed, scoping out some bad brake shoes, and painting the rear drums.

No pics. Looks the same as it did yesterday.

That bed was a b*^ch. Sometimes two guys is waaaaay better than one. But today was a solo day.

Ran out of gas in the driveway starting it for the first time in a month. I would drive it more but I need to replace a brake line that has a hole in it. I just cant seem to find the motivation between the snow, 10 degrees, and a gravel driveway...

Pont406 · 01-25-2011, 10:25 PM

Jeffs70,
Any closer pics of that? Very nice!

I pulled the manual steering box and put it on the bench to compare it to a power gear box that I'm going to use. I still need to clean this power box up so I can paint it before the install. Lucky for me a buddy had this as a spare even with the correct rag joint.

Installed new speakers in my "basic" kick panels

justagoodolboy · 01-26-2011, 11:59 PM

I put 2 layers of Fat Mat behind and under where the gas tank goes and plumbed in the tank. I was hoping to get it started but there's a problem somewhere and I didn't have a tester. Kind of a let down, I so wanted to hear it run. It's over a year now. O well, it's just another challenge lol!

*project 67 sub* · 01-27-2011, 12:15 AM

wire wheeled and painted one coat of paint on one side but ran out of paint, and took a pic of what i did last night. realigned the door and installed the fender, the door gap is real close at the bottom, but nothing touches

67-72trucks What a beautiful job there.

dmack91 · 01-27-2011, 03:18 AM

Pulled the rear axle apart to find metal to metal brakes.

Then went and picked up some used rims while the drums are being turned.

I installed my fold down cup holders on the front storage box of my Buddy Buckets .No more spilled coffee for me.

magwakeenercew2jh · 01-27-2011, 09:12 PM

Got almost all the sound deadener in. Got the carpet mocked up. Put a door on. Played with just a touch of the electrical.

Big day for an old guy.
