Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
Dan, your truck is really looking great! I like the soft semi flat look and color choices.
Lowdownstar...seats are killer |

![]() It had minor rust (backside). Not as bad as the other one, so I soaked it overnight with Ospho on paper towels. When I get home I'll pull those and paint the backside. Haven't checked your thread yet. I've been enjoying reading it. What's next on yours? |

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
Ordered a Pertronix igniter system and coil, A Carter Weber 32/36 2 bbl. Carb, 2 into 1 adapter, and air filter For my '56 Chevy 3200. Hopefully it will clean up the exhaust a bit and improve mileage slightly.

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
I managed to pull the front clip off. Had to destroy the fender corners (already rusted through).
It seems like these guys brazed or TIG welded the fenders to the door and running board. It's almost like they were screwing it up on purpose... That and an 1/8 inch bondo in some places. Honestly. I'm kinda afraid to see what the bare sheet metal looks like because it may be corroding (or just look nasty) under all the bondo/ paint Last edited by mechanixman; 03-29-2013 at 01:23 AM. |

A lot of the truck you see are dropped at least a couple inches. I thought it was so cool that I could actually just crawl under the truck with out a jack or stands, that I want to keep her riding high. (Plus I like looking down on other cars. =D ) Quote:
Who came up with that idea? It was only on the passenger side too. At least I think. I went with a screw driver, because I thought it would just be bondo. When I wised up, I carefully use an angle grinder and made a couple clean passes on the drivers side. Everything looked clean on that side. |

I have a dual master/bracket to install and plug in my brake control to the harness I built, paint the new wheels that just came yesterday and thats about it. I have a upper column bearing to replace to get my horn working, but I have just been driving the snot out of it. We have a busy summer pulling the Avion to different trailer rallies with the Burb, cruises, Billit Proof etc and I have been beating on it trying to find a weak link now. |
