Re: What did you do to your truck today!
When I was over at Wes's shop www.classicheartbeat.com he had some interesting kick panels that take six inch round speakers I think but may take smaller ones. I haven't got to the install sound part of working on my 71 yet so haven't picked up a set.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
I bought some kicks w/ 6 1/2 cut outs for speakers from the truckandcarshop.com. I think they were around 70 bucks. Hopefully they come in next week so I can finish the install next weekend.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
Started it up and let it clear up a bit. Put a 35 back on the front passenger side and organized all my parts that are in the back of it. Oh, and I took about 20 gallons of diesel from it and put it in my dodge engine donor. (out of cash, needed fuel and the burb has a 50 gal in her).

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
Gutted it up and went to the shop to finish the rear brake shoe replacement on the passenger side. Nasty job. I gotta go with rear disks some day.
Put caps on the rear Boss 338 20's using some black silicone on the "o" rings; Torqued down the 1" spacers to 95 lbs.; Painted the inner rear fender wells with gloss black to go with the flat black rat-exterior. Painted the drums gloss black, too. Put the wheels on the back for now... just to get them out of the way. Okay, okay. I wanted to see them on the truck again. Another mock-up on the dash with the new tilt installed. Put a lazer-sight on my .380... Oops! That's another Forum....

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
My daughter took me and the truck to get some limestone block so she could redo the planters out in front of house.
Of coarse she sat in the truck eating candy, while dad loaded the 436 lbs of block... smart kid! ![]() Last edited by AustinScott; 03-15-2011 at 09:28 PM. |

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
Worked on my speedo gear today. Used one of the FAQ's on the site to determine the right drive gear and driven gear and then ordered the parts. Pulled the drive line and tranny tail shaft housing to get to the gears. Pretty straightforward and easy to do with some help from the board. Figured out I got 3.73 rearend. Also figured out I have a leaky pinion seal. I think I will fix that tomorrow since I've got the drive shaft out.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
Well I'm having my Interior completly re-done,
so I bought a "Billet Steering Column Dress-up Kit". Turns out that my 4 way Flasher button (Red one on mt Column), is part of the switch, so my "Billet 4 Way Flasher Knob" wont work. .......That is until TODAY, when I found out the Signal Cam & Switch were Broken/Cracked. The replacment switch has provisions to use the "screw in Billet knob". ![]()

Re: What did you do to your truck today!

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
I hope. He took one week short of a year to get my engine done the first time then this comes up. I am still pissed, but at least he "says" he is gonna make it right. Hope it isn't another year.

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!
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!
I see you have the same kind of inverted rear end that I had.....
![]() As for what I got done.....got my newly acquired and painted Wheel Vintiques 16x7's mounted on my '96 GMC. I lost the rake that it had, but I can rotate tires and get some better mileage out of these.

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.
