Re: What did you do to your truck today!

got all the parts i ordered from autozone to do the rear brakes on my longhorn c20.

Realized the whell cylinders were wrong, so went back to autozone and they started passing the buck blaming everbody and their grandma for the wrong parts.
Settled for a refund on the wheel cylinders from autozone, went to napa and picked up the "right" ones.
set down to do the brakes and realized autozone gave me the wrong size brake shoes. They gave me the 12' instead of the 11 2 and 3/4 i ordered. After driving there and haggling for a refund, i went to napa and got the "right" ones.
You think i would now better than to deal with autozone, but i thought i'd save a few "bucks" instead ended up wasting 4 complete days!
should have went to napa in the first place.
now daylight is gone and have to wait for tomorrow to start. All this after i waited 4 days for autozone to "order" the parts from their warehouse. then to realize they were wrong parts, wheel cylinders and brake shoes. (they did get the brake hardware right though)
never again with autozone.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!

Started mock up on my electric fan setup yesterday and removed all the bed to frame bolts. Got a couple buddies down today and acheived bed separation. Was gonna just install a fuel cell but I'm thinkin this is as good of time as any to clean and paint the frame and do some exhaust work. You all know how that snowballs!

Built 3 inch tailpipes that come out behind the rear tires on a angle, changed the oil and cleaned up some mess....

Re: What did you do to your truck today!

I sure wish I had got some stuff done on my trucks, but no.

I moved both trucks, '67 and '71 steppers, to carports so I can get the garage ready to start working on the back of the '67 so I can put the bed on it.

Having a small garage and working on two trucks seem to slow progress.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!

Went to move the truck the other day so I could spray/prep the rear for removal but it wouldn't start. Hoped it was the filter, but ended up being the fuel pump. Almost finished the install of the pump and found a leaky thermosat housing.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!

Well my Wife did about 99% of this to my Truck today, but I figure since we've been Married 20 years, it would be permissible for this Thread.

I've installed the Leather Seats in my Truck, but with the Gas Tank still there, when the Console is folded down you STILL see it.

My Wife says to me,
"Hey you need a Pillow between your Seats to hide the Gas Tank".

Then it hits me, that I've got (2) 12" Embroidered Rat Fink patches, I bought from Ed Roth's Wife about 6 years ago. They've been tucked away, so I asked my Wife if she could sew the Patch on to a Pillow?

Viola' there you have it, and since the "Theme" of my Truck is going to be the Rat Fink, (license plate "RATIKLE"), it was a no brainer!!!

Re: What did you do to your truck today!

Got to fitting my fuel cell between the frame rails, can't cut a straight line to save my life! Lots of touch up grinding to do to get it to fit.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!

Finished the electric fuel pump. Fixed the leak on the thermostat housing (hopefully). Getting some feedback from a couple people on a used rear end for my '71, so hopefully I will have one accuired soon.
