Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
It was yesterday but I ran the brake lines to the rearend. Once that was done I finally got to set the bed on for the first time. Mind you this is the first time I have ever seen this truck with any kind of a bed on it at all except in my minds eye or vision if you will. Been a long three months and still lots to go but at least I can now see that once I widen the bed about 5 inches it will look ok.
This is all phase 1. which is make it a running/driving truck. Phase 2. will probably start as soon as phase 1. is finished.

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
Today I installed 69-72 tail light bezels on my '67. Considering how rusty my truck is I was pleasantly surprised that all 12 holes drilled were into solid steel.

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
Took more than a day but had my inner wheel wells blasted. Then prepped, dp 90 and underhood black. I have to drive my junk every day, so one project at a time.

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
Thanks, man! I used the Flowmaster u-fit kit and hacked up about every piece to make it the way I wanted. Then ground down all of the welds to make it "seamless" Don't know if I'll do it again because of all the time involved doing it the way I did it.
Thanks man, I hear about that. Hopefully I'll keep it off of really dusty roads and parking lots.

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
Did you use a kit for the headlight relays? Where did you get it from?

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
Drained remaining fuel from my tank in prep for tank/lines replacement next week. Rebuilt Edelbrock carb and man was it dirty with all of the rust and junk in the tank. PO told me it was a 600 CFM but once I removed it I found out it's a 750 CFM. Bit overkill for a stock 350 and I will have to look to change that out in the future.

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
I had to have the part of the stock shifter that goes I to the column machined down to fit into the billet shifter.. The piece that comes with the billet shifter is to short and won't work on our non-tilt columns
