Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
I put some 6 degree caster shims under my front springs. I had to leave out the shortest spring leaf so the u-bolts would reach but I can't tell any difference in the ride height. Took a short test drive but didn't notice any difference in the way it drove, but I'll be driving it more tomorrow so that will be a better test. Also, in case anyone else will be doing this, I got the shims from Summit as a kit with spring bolts. The spring bolts were 3/8 and wouldn't go through the springs so I had to go to NAPA and buy two 5/16s spring bolts. The kit was TFY-90016, probably intended for a rear axle.

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
It warmed up to 34 today and the weeks worth of fog lifted, so I peeked in the garage and its still there.

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
Put the new dome light in the "to be installed" box. Going to review the "still need to buy" list and see if there are some small parts I can order. Temps are up to mid 30's but still foggy and no sun in sight for at least a week.

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
Waay nice. Huge improvement.
Looks like you need some signal lenses, or maybe to polish the ones you have. |

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
Sorry, I didn't mean to sound critical. For what it's worth, I've had good luck with sanding plastic lenses with 1500 and polishing on my shop buffer.

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
I installed the CPP power disc brake kit on my 56 this weekend. I'm hoping to have it back as a rolling chassis within 2 weeks. I'll be spending this week rebuilding the Chevelle rear end and get the housing primed and painted

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
Got up early and headed North 150 miles to the Estranged C.C. breakfast gathering. Met some kool people and saw some kool cars. Where else can you have breakfast in the cold NW and see 4 straight axle gassers?
