Re: What did you do to your truck today!

I did install new front brake cable, and also lifted the the right rear tire to see if can I could find the ratio on the right side of the 12 bolts rear end but i did not find it.

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.

no, there is a small bracket that bolts to the frame in the hole in the top of each end of the frame.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!

Did some more interior work. Put on the new dash bezel with the painted gauge cluster. Installed the knobs that I cleared the other day. Installed an electric pump in my winshield washer jar, ran new wires to it and plugged it into my OEM wiper switch. Shorted out my light switch cause now the tail and dash lights stay on whenever I turn the key on. I guess I will pick up a new one tomorrow and put it in. Hopefully it will fix that problem. Here are some dash pics.

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.
I think it looks cleaner with the GMC logo centered in the Chevy grill. The stock grill and emblem is kinda busy lookin' IMO.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!

Pulled out just about every inch of spaghetti and started mapping out my new Painless 18 ct. kit. So, this will be my "what i did to my truck today" for about the next month. Also I started tearing down the air system for new bags, valves, and steel braided lines while i have the bed off

Re: What did you do to your truck today!

I set the pinion angel on my 9" rearend. Removed the rearend and trailing arms. Cleaned the trailing arms. Finish welded the perches on the rearend. Welded the trailing arms together, top and bottom. Painted the rearend and trailing arms. Replaced the trailing arm bushings with urethane and put it all back together.

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!

Painted the frame rails, trailing arms and engine crossmember. Tomorrow, we'll flip the frame over and get what we missed.

My son is a hammer...drives me like a nail! We've done more in the past 2 months, than had been done in 2 years.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!

Did some work on the leaf to coil swap that I started a few days ago. Got some rivets out then removed the exhaust. Then bolted up all the coil stuff to see how it fits, now I get to dissasemble it and sand and paint it and put it back together. Also have to hit the junk yard and get some misc. parts that I need to complete the swap.
