Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
All I have done today is clean up the seat belt bolts with Evaporust and the wire wheel. I now have a coat of NAPA Rust Treatment on those. I also painted a couple more coats of Gloss Black onto 1 radiator bracket and the fan cover.
I found the other original rear cab bolt and cleaned it up also.......I have no use for it but I want to keep all of the truck's original hardware. |

It's a great engine, but not sure what I would do with it besides sit on my garage floor. :-) I know I shouldn't ask but what do you want for it. (I can't believe I am asking)

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
After I hauled away some trash, I got into the garage and just took things in. I am near spiritually moved by the truck progress. 10 years it has sat in the garage....but now it stands on the brink of leaving the garage.
And once that happens, the garage can finally be renovated to modern standards. |

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
Finished up cleaning a spare '72 front cross member, control arms, and misc parts.
Priming with black Rustoleum Rust Reformer. Starting to paint the stuff now with Rustoleum satin. This is to do a "stock parts" conversion to disc brakes on my '70.

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
Taped up the inside of the cab we had painted last weekend and shot the top of the cab white.
I had been leaning towards white top and light green bottom color but when we unmasked everything I love how the white pops against the tan interior (original) color. Asked my wife for some input and she said "Yep, paint it tan". So the final color combo will be tan lower with a white top. Got the fenders in primer ready to final sand next weekend.

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
Dad came over and he and I got the seat back in. I could have cut the bolt holes in the new mat a little bit bigger, we we could snug up the mat better, but I was close enough it seems. We got her lined up on about the 3rd try and this time, I didn't have to pull all the shelving out of my garage to have enough clearance for the bench seat!
I also found out my fuel shut off valve is hard to reach but I can do it if I move over and use my left hand. If it proves to be a hassle, I'll redo it next spring. Finally I got a coat of gloss black onto a radiator bracket. Moving right along! ![]() *I tell you one thing, cleaning the rust off of my seat belt and seat bolts was one of the best things I ever did! Soooo much easier to start a clean bolt over a gunky/rusty one. |

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
Did a bit more cleanup of the bed. I may have to blow the bed apart and fix some rot in the bed sides. My rear cross member is also not attached to the frame on the drivers side. Need to fix that too. Here's a nice shot of Ol' Crusty's booty.

I put a new door bumper in (that little rubber knob). It looked too big but with a little soap and a small screwdriver it went right on in there. I also cleaned up the garage a bit to get ready for removing the front clip. |

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
Each day, something more.
![]() Today I finished painting the remaining radiator bracket and I ordered two lower brackets and 4 pads from Wes at Classic Heartbeat. Then dad and I removed the hood. Getting those springs off took about 5 pairs of visegrips and some prying! I'm about to soak my bolts and springs in Evaporust and I think I'll do electrolysis on the hinges. Once those hinges came off...OMGOSH...there is rust where they bolted to the fenders....my truck so needs a frame off. Furring strip giving extra hood bracing. ![]() Never imagined I'd see my truck naked! ![]() Hood stored for now: ![]() Rust! ![]() |

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
Pretty much. The PO had a Coke vending machine business in the North Bay. Almost got worked to death then sat in a field for another 30 years. Glad I saved it.

That's _dirt_ not rust under your hood hinges ! .
Looking good , I like the color there . I got a call from the Paint Jail , they want me to pick up my truck and demand cash for the final payment , apparently he realized he's WAY over his head and i'll do the final assembly , I'm just worried about those ' missing ' hub caps because he keeps giving me different , evasive answers , now it's ' you can only use 5 , right ? what's the big deal ? ' .
