Re: What did you do to your truck today!
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.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
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.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
I bought a cab! It is a '71 A/C cab and the first major piece of the puzzle for me. I am stoked!

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

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
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.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
I rebuilt my carb. I'll say this: I was terrified about taking this thing apart, but it really wasn't that bad. I just took a lot of pictures and took my time. Having done it once, I feel like I could probably put the thing together in 20 minutes now.
So, if anyone is on the fence about tearing into one of these, DO IT! ![]() |

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
Cleaned snow off her for the second time this week. Sat in the seat, rubbed the dash, and told her spring would be here soon..... Waiting for ball diamonds and beer. (Welcome to Ontario in the winter)

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
blowing off my girlfriend to go home and finish up putting together the 292 I6. Nothing major just replacing the plugs and gaskets, then going to measure for the new radiator hoses get the original motor ready to be taken out.
