Re: What did you do to your truck today!
^Nice!
I started tearing my motor down because I was given a cracked block by the engine builder. He's gonna get another block and make it good.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
Recieved my new dash bezel and kick panels from truckandcarshop.com. They look pretty good. Dry fit the kick panels, trimmed one a bit and shot a coat of paint on them. Pounded out the pinion seal off my tail cap housing and rear diff. Those babies were on there!

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
Went to the powder coating shop and picked up my core support ,inner fenders ,battery tray and a few other parts.I then went to the shop doing my truck and helped weld up some holes in the bed.Clamped the hidden hitch in place to mark the holes to be drilled and then left her again.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
I made a ''Crafty'' brace for my alternator bracket
   Did it a few days ago, but thought it may be worth putting up here

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
Pulled the entire rear out from under my longbed frame by myself with the help of these dollys I bought from Summit..money well spent!
Note the baby carriage tool cart..rolls free and holds lots of stuff.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
What did you do to/for/with your truck today ?
I like this thread a lot. It's a real vicarious rush (that means I didn't do squat to/for/with my truck today, I just read the posts in this thread). The amount of work some people can perform in one day blows my mind . Keep on truckin' (wow who even says that now? no one !)

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
Finished installing the kick panels w/ speaker cutouts. Pass side needed a little trimming but the D/S went in fine. Not bad for 70 bucks.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
Not much... just started 'er up and idled 'er for a while. I had to drop the insurance after I stopped working because of medical issues.I also need to do a bunch of work on it, and I'm not too keen on turning wrenches out in the driveway when there's a foot+ of snow around.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
Got the battery charged up in the ol' 68 and took her around town. Next is some fancy vacuum lines to fancy it up and make it run better.
Also, washed the DD 95 after seeing a little mud this week.

Installed an electric fan and controls for it. Turned out well thanks to the tech on here. Now the truck stays nice and cool!

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
Well, started out today thinking I didn't like the way the front of the truck was looking so i stripped everything off of her and prepped it for paint.
  Is this normal? The top bolts are not used to hold the bumper onto the frame?  Wet sanded and primed the front... my shoulder is pretty sore can barely lift my beer to my mouth!!  here she is freshly painted and still wet..  this is what was used for paint and primer.  It got to dark to really see how it turned out, cant wait until the morning. Scott |
