Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
Love the suicide knob, steering wheel spinner, power steering - whatever you like to call it.
Is that something you had lying around or did you buy it recently? Looking for one that has the same mounting set up. Had no luck yet with finding anything that looks as good as yours with the Chev badge and all. Posted via Mobile Device |

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
Noodle nose pliers are soft so they don't scratch your work. They are pretty hard to work with though. Getting your banana clip where you want it is like a game at a carnival. The "Wet noodle" type are the worst of the two

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
Ok I found the Lokar instructions online. My shifter clearly mounts to the trans but I'm not sure I've got all the pieces described so I'll have to print the parts list and go review what I've got.
But Lokar customer service has been great to me so they'd likely give me anything I'm missing...and maybe free! as they've already sent me stuff for no charge. Posted via Mobile Device |

Mocked up the engine cover over the past week. Just had it covered in fiberglass.

http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...&postcount=841 This weekend I had to lengthen the bracket and connector rod between them about 1.5", the assembly was so far up in the dash I could not get the short rod on. Lesson learned is to get all the stuff done up high when its accessible and work down!

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
I am modifying the column cover stuff. Learned all about how the bobbin mechanism works in a sewing machine, especially how to get all the thread out of it when it goes fubar. Wife hid in the greenhouse during the sewing experience... Photos will be posted when it is done.

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
Got the bedsides back from the blaster yesterday. Worked yesterday and today welding up some holes and cracks. Put it in Epoxy primer so it wont rust. Will commence doing body work this week.

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
we finished up the wiring in the dash, loomed all the wiring in the engine bay and everything going to the back, rehung the passenger side door and picked up a gallon of black epoxy primer to seal the body, once we get to that stage. I also fabbed up the mounting for the radiator and test fitted everything. This week, we finalize the wiring, install the fuel system, install the cooling system and hang the drive shaft. I'm hoping to fire this thing up in a couple weeks. A guy can dream can't he?

Seems to me that all you'll do by making this offer is prove to the seller you're desperate for the truck and DO have the ability to up your previous $1,000 offer. If you've got it up to $1,800 already why would he not continue to hold out and "...see what the kid comes up with?" I'm not trying to be negative, I'm just saying you're acting like the guy wants to sell it to you. He likely could not care less WHO buys it as long as he gets the $3000 (or more!) he wants for it.
