Changing gear oil at 500 miles. Tweaked the cover trying to get it off (was well sealed!) waiting on a new cover to refill it again.

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
Small progress on Saturday. Had to do an oil change in my daughters car and some other routine maintenance on the rest of the fleet.

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
F I N A L L Y got the windshield installed in my truck. Had a hard time finding anyone to do it due to the age. I finally found someone and they had a guy come out who didn't know what he was doing and bent up my stainless trim. I got some more trim and polished it up. The owner of the company kept calling me and apologizing and promising to make it right but he kept having one calamity after another (not sure they were legit reasons but...). Finally he gets a guy he uses to come out supposedly Friday then Saturday and finally he shows up today and does a great job and is done in less than an hour. Amazing when someone knows what they are doing.

Got some bed rails from To Much Stuff on the way too but those need a little clean up (also bought hardware kit and wood decals off eBay). With the Bumpers and Rails installed, I think the truck will look snappy. Very excited for these add-ons :-) ![]()

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
Front bumpers received and installed. But they didn’t come with the bottom brace - I don’t think they’ll move.
Edit: Forgot to add, I had to cut out notches on my shop table at the bottom. My garage door bracket was going to scrape my back bumper. Now after notching my shop table, I have like 1/4 inch between the garage door bracket and the back bumper! I really need a SWB Truck, LOL!

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
My first attempt at metal work. Bought a Hobart 210 MVP welder, watched lots of Youtube videos and gave it a try. The welder probably paid for itself on the first job. I must say the LMC gas tank filler hole patch was almost spot on.

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
Figured out why my AC/heater fan wasn't moving any air. A PO had installed the fan upside down.🤦*♂️
It works great now!!👍🏼 Today I'm going to get the reverse lights working. |

These welders come wired DCEN for the sample spool of flux core. I was getting frustrated when I first started using it until I figured out I needed to switch the polarity to DCEP for the solid wire.

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
I guess I'm slacking here. Back on July 31, I got a new carb for the old 250. It didn't run spot on right out of the box & my schedule has been super tight. Got around to tuning on it last week & took it down the road for a quick spin. I was most pleased. Friday, I got the plates renewed for the year. Wait, did I do some of those steps out of sequence? Lol.

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
Got my drivers side door glass installed along with the door panel. I still have to put in the door fuzzies but I have to trim them a little bit and ran out of gas.
Passenger side next weekend! ??

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
Didn't do it today but yesterday.Was planning on taking my C10 to our Annual Big Event Car Show yesterday afternoon. Bought my TT2's and new tires in July and had them mounted and balanced and were sitting waiting. Had a few hours to kill before the Show so got my ass in gear went and picked them up at my storage garage and installed them. Glad I did. Before and after pics.
