Same question, too.

ChevLoRay · 03-07-2011, 01:24 PM

Took my chassis (bare rails), engine crossmember and trailing arms to be sandblasted. Then, we fired up the sons' new sandblaster cabinet and started cleaning up some stuff so we can paint it.

Went to the body shop and helped take the bed off .Rust removal starts next.

ItsRandy · 03-07-2011, 11:54 PM

Applied rust converter to the rear of my frame. Contimplated the rest of the project, dreaming of the day I will drive it again...soon...very soon.

glider_6969 · 03-08-2011, 09:47 PM

I took the truck of the stands, washed down the engine and cleaned the interior. I took down the sunvisors and they must of had 20 years of dust on them under all the sanding dust that got added to them. As soon as this white stuff goes away and all the darn salt on our roads it's going to get a good hosing.

IT's off a 91 chevy silverado. It fits perfect just had to drill some holes in the frame and in the fenders.

Sicklajoie · 03-08-2011, 04:38 PM

Registered it!
Got Connecticut Early American plates.
Took her out for a nice ride today.

Gene · 03-08-2011, 04:40 PM

Finally found a donor truck at the salvage that I could use the pass. vent window assembly to rebuild mine with! Now i'm done with cab rubber replacement, except for front and back glass.

Sinister · 03-08-2011, 05:58 PM

Replaced my driver's side window regulator, which is always fun.

*stich626* · 03-08-2011, 06:11 PM

jjtackleberry · 03-08-2011, 09:50 PM

put new thermostat in, and used the Permadryplus from Fel-pro

changed oil with Castrol high mileage

**FRENCHBLUE72** · 03-08-2011, 09:53 PM

I actually worked on mine for the 1st time in 3 months...... Feels great.... Soooo I put the dual e fans in and wired them up....

butternut1972 · 03-09-2011, 12:46 AM

Sanded on the cab tonight. Juse few more days of days of sanding then off to the paint booth.

67Slider · 03-09-2011, 09:45 AM

Tinkered around. Put a coat of clear on my headlight, wiper knob and cigarette lighter. Replaced the driver side defrost duct and fired her up in the garage for a few minutes.

No particular reason. I smoothed down some gouges and then cleared the knobs. It turned them shiny. Hopefully it will last. They were some extras I just picked up. I may take some pics today when I get home so you all can tell me what you think.

Deenice21 · 03-09-2011, 12:12 PM

was bored so checked my gears and made a poor mans spool . 3.73 btw..

and also sprayed down my engine bay with degreaser

Sinister · 03-09-2011, 04:04 PM

Put in a new temp gauge and sender.

mmmBoost · 03-09-2011, 07:08 PM

installed my power steering box and cross link. Found out the tie rod ends I have are all wrong. So back to the parts store. Recieved My wiring harness from EzWiring.

C10_ustacould · 03-09-2011, 07:12 PM

I bought a cab! It is a '71 A/C cab and the first major piece of the puzzle for me. I am stoked!

Sicklajoie · 03-09-2011, 09:02 PM

Put some 1 inch spacers under the rear coils to put a little rake in her.

Otsa580 · 03-09-2011, 09:12 PM

Spent way to much time next to the air compressor sand blasting a set of rally wheels.
Hopefully paint will get sprayed tomorrow so I can mount my new to me 31x10.5 BFG All Terrians.
