Scrapped Crustine's old crappy no original seat and put in an original style seat from the same year.

Re: What did you do to your truck today part III
Installed a lot of the sheet metal, fenders, grill support, grill, hood hinges, hood bracket, everything but the hood and front bumper. Test fitted the Entropy radiator, looks like the top hose will be a challenge. Next is the sway bar, bumper and hood, then I start the brake and fuel lines, the accuair and tanks.

Re: What did you do to your truck today part III
Bought a front bed panel from a member. Received a front inner fender from another member. Got the upper a arms out of the degreaser soak,scrub brushed and rinsed. Ready for the wire wheel or blaster, whatever it takes to clean them for paint.

Re: What did you do to your truck today part III
Mine happened pretty much the same way, lol...Started a simple engine transplant then went south from there, a year later and it's starting to come together. The hardest part is doing all this in my driveway since the garage has another project consuming that.

The thing for me was to just do something, anything at all on the truck to move forward. Sometimes I would look at it and see so much to do, I kept putting it off. Now, I try to do something almost everyday, even if I just stare at it until I figure out what direction to go with on the next part... |

I got frustrated last spring and found me a 66 to use as a driver, so I could settle down and work on the 62 at a better pace... After work I go in the garage almost every evening and try to do something to keep going forward. Got the engine and tranny back in it about a month ago. let it run for a few minutes. then went to the steering and found problems, best thing that has happened recently for the 62 is finding that Captainfab is making a kit that should help me get the steering box mount straightened out. It was changed to PS before I got it but not done well. Sometimes I just scroll through the pics I've taken to remember how much has really been accomplished. Don't think it will ever look like yours, but it will be a much nicer ride when I get it out next time.

Re: What did you do to your truck today part III
Not a lot to be honest.
Went out to see a movie (The Martian) with Nicola tonight. Got a text from mate Martin while in there that my cutout pipes and the Flanges my secret benefactor had cut for me were now welded up and ready for collection from Colin at the Checkers Pub in Hoo St Werburgh. So I drove by on the way home from the movies and traded a pack of Spitfire beers for the cutouts and dropped off a length of 16A three core cable fo Martin to wire his new compressor into the mains as it is not happy with the 13A it's been fed. Got home and had to take a couple of bad pics of what I now have, HAPPY HAPPY. THE ANTI-SOCIAL THUGGERY WILL HAPPEN. ![]() 340ml beer can on the 2.5" connectors just for perspective of size of these outlets. Did I mention that I was very pleased ? I do love the neatness of well done Tig welding. Once polished and cleaned they will be stashed for later use. ![]()

Re: What did you do to your truck today part III
Hi!
Still working on the tanks. Running two hard 3/8 stainless fuel line from back of truck to front, working on a boxed in X frame is fun, I swear! Flex lines will connect hard lines to tanks. I plan to box in the rear section of frame before welding in new cross members.

Re: What did you do to your truck today part III
Had a bit of a rough day at work, so got home and cut the grass, I find this very therapeutic, and then went to the garage, dragged what's left of the truck out onto the drive at 6.30pm and used the rust converter I bought last week.
On Saturday morning early the cab is being rolled off, so I guess in the end this has become a "body off" job. Never intended to go this far, did I mention this before? ![]() Let's hope the weather holds out for Saturday.

No work, just drove it around and checked to see how cold my A/C was getting.

At least it works for my head as well.. Some of the jobs I do are quite small, but they are progress. That hood looks just lovely. Well done.

Re: What did you do to your truck today part III
Finally started working on my 65 Suburban again today. Stripped the top half of doors and working on rest of paint around the windows. I need to get it looking uniform before I do my dads military service in January. He is the main reason Im doing a home style resto/driver.

Re: What did you do to your truck today part III
Sorry for the off topic question, but does DLW have a build thread going for his truck? I tried searching for one, but came up with nothing.
