Re: What did you do with your truck today, Part 3
I got the inner hood brace cut up and working. It took a little recess in the cowl right at the fender as It thought it would a few days ago so all is good. I am pleased with it. I also painted a few parts for under the dash.

Re: What did you do with your truck today, Part 3
Going back together after the sender plug fiasco. To save my back, I lowered the head down onto the engine with a cherry picker. Although it's difficult working on the engine in the truck, I'd much rather do that than take the front sheet metal off.

Re: What did you do with your truck today, Part 3
Re-installed the intake manifold, distributor, spark plugs, adjusted valves and installed the covers. Another day or two and I may have this thing back to square one.

Re: What did you do with your truck today, Part 3
I've been neglecting everything else to get it done, but had to take today off because my back can't take all those hours bent over the fenders.

Re: What did you do with your truck today, Part 3
I know it doesn't look like much but all of the front end hardware is tight, the front splash apron is on and the headlamps are in. I need to find the headlight bezel screws, they are around here somewhere...

Re: What did you do with your truck today, Part 3
Tested operations, pulled it out of the garage (under its own power) and got pulled back in front ways. Now that it is away from the wall and I can walk around the truck, I can maybe get stuff done. As you can see, it has been backed in for years and my bike was over the bed.
Secondly I would like to add the CPP power disc brakes and power steering worked awesome.

I got out there and cut some stuff off the old rad support to use to patch the replacement one (you know it's right then.

Re: What did you do with your truck today, Part 3
I bought a knob for my cowl vent handle. Was going through some boxes just a week or so later and found that I already had TWO brand new ones!
Anyone need a cowl vent knob? LOL Brian

I didn't know you could buy the cowl vent knob. I could use one or let me know where you get them
