Re: What did you do to your truck today!
60ratrod- I was on the Lincoln too-VA-95, A-6's. Our last cruise was in 95'. It was my last one too. In fact I was stationed at Oak Harbor.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
Put all new shocks and sway bar end links in the 98 S10. Man she rides so nice now since the old ones were wore out and the end links were broke.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
I finally finished up the brake lines on my 72 today and got the fronts bled out good, lot of air in the line going too the rear. I put lines running down to bottles on the rear and cracked the bleeders open, go back and check on it tomorrow. I did drive it around the field out back a couple laps and over across the road to the church lot. The old 307, will light the right rear easily. Still going to have to rebuild the carb to get it running smooth and plugs and wires. Won't be much longer till I can atleast get it on the road!

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
I bolted the brake pedal assembly and steering column in my bare cab. Now all the parts I own are installed on my truck... oops almost. I own a super track bar and a shock re-locator kit but no chassis so those will have to wait.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
Picked up my chassis, engine crossmember and trailing arms from the sandblaster. Then, we started cleaning the upper/lower control arms by soaking them in a soapy degreaser solution, followed by a power washing. Then, I disassembled the rear brakes on both sides, down to the backing plates. We pulled the cover off of the rear axle, in preparation to pull the axle shafts and replace the 42-year old axle seals....the right one has been leaking ever since I got the truck in '99, and was the reason that the brake would lock up in a hard stop situation.
Next weekend, we'll finish the control arm cleaning (after a week-long soak), and do some spot-sandblasting before we prep/paint them. Gonna paint the chassis, too. The fun has begun...

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
Come to find out my brake lights have been staying on while I'm driving. Adjusted the brake pedal switched and did some more cruising around today.
Got lots of thumbs ups on the road.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
Put the GMC emblem that I found in a broken grill laying next to my mailbox in the tube grill in my 71.
I was going to weld up the holes in the hood but it's raining outside now. The truck has a two headlight grill because I couldn't find a four headlight grill and front end when my aunt wrecked the truck 20 something years ago. |

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
I received my LED light Order from www.SuperBrightleds.com
So now every light on my Truck, (except the Headlights) are LED's. Received my Marque Door Vent Grills from "Dreamers rods", and my "Ignition Indicator" from Brothers.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
Installed the new stereo. Still waiting for the kick panels so I can install the front speakers. Turned out pretty good and I didn't have to cut my dash. Only bad part is the remote doesn't work thru the glovebox door. I was hopeing it would!
