Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
Fixed some small dents in my front quarter panels on the 72 k2500 and shot the first coat of primer on them. Small things like that get me excited to see the finished product. Long road of body work ahead before I get to any fun stuff though.

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
Glad winter is finally over!
Got my engine, converter & trans linked up and bolted into the chassis today. I'll get to crank her soon! Can't wait... |

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
Spent almost 2 hours trying to get the motor mount bolt to thread. Finally just pulled the mount out, cleared the rubber from the threads, reinstalled the promptly cross threaded one of the bolt into the block. Many profane words were uttered. I was able to replace the rubber fuel lines under the cab and at the fuel pump. Still didn't feel like a very productive 3 hours.

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
I have been assembling my chassis on my c10. Got stuck late last night as I need a ball joint press. Now waiting for church to start and will get a press on the way home and spend the rest of the day working on the truck.

I feel your pain! There are times I peek out from my truck, just to make sure no neighbors are outside to hear the animated words coming from my driveway. I normally don't curse or use those types of words, but there are days when working on my truck, that it makes me lose my religion a little!

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
Took over a month to seal the deal, but I finally got buckets....Buddy!
Plan to restore entire frame with powder coat, cushions, blue hounds tooth covers. I also picked up a 68' tach cluster and got some experience pulling the front/rear windows off the donor truck to save the factory F/R SS window trim before the factory 396, wood bed, 68' CST long bed goes to the crusher. Don't cry, It was a salted Iowa truck that was rusted UP from the bottom...too far gone. |

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
Installed new wheel bearings in the rear end and put new wheels cylinders on. Installed the rear hub and tired to bleed the brakes. Nothing would come out. Checked at the master cylinder and it comes out there. Checked at the end of the rear hard line where it connects to the rubber line and it comes out there. Does not come out of the rubber hose so it seems like I will be ordering on of those in the morning. This trucks brakes have been the biggest pain in the rear ever. Took the hubs off to replace the wheel cylinders and all the bearings were junk. Have had to order the bearings and they were all supposed to be here sat. On box just had the race and one had some random bearing. So had to reorder the bearings and the parts store can't get them for 3 days.
