What did you do to your truck today?

My wife snapped that one with her phone.

Yeah i love these trucks they are by far the easiest and best to work on. I can crawl all over this thing.

The family wanted to go look at Christmas lights, so I suggested I’d drive them around in the back of the truck so they could have an unobstructed view in the crisp sub freezing air. Apparently they have no sense of adventure so I didn’t get to drive it tonight!

I had a dead battery this week... kinda odd. 12.0x volts.
However, it wouldn't throw over in the cold.

I put the battery charger on it and went to bed.

I checked the cells in the battery and only one cell was slightly low on water, so I topped it off with a few ounces of water.

I checked it not running at 13.4 volts after the re-charge... fired right up with no problems. I checked it running and it was running at 14.5 volts.

I was having a weird thing with my brake lights staying on... turned out the ol' stop light switch had worked itself loose, so I'm guessing it was draining the battery down enough to be a pain.

I checked and cleaned the connections on the batt. terminal to be on the safe side... snugged up the stop light switch... and put it all back together.

vroooooom.

I'm hoping that is all that it was.

Thank you sir...Let me know when you're ready.

[LostMy65]

Fired up the 350 that I put in my 66 for the first time.

[jbgroby]

Man, no matter if she muffeled or not, THAT is a sweat Sound ain't it?

[lakeroadster]

Finished body work on the Camaro dash and painted it. Also installed new rubber seals in the kick panel air vents, cleaned them up a bit and reinstalled them.

[StevieC]

rebuilt my carb and my truck still worked when I bolted it back on

[AZ66GMC]

I rewired my headlights with relays, converted my alternator to an Delco 10SI, installed a new clear lensed dome light with LED lamp and installed a new tach on the dash

Got my front tires swapped over to the new 15x7 wheels. The tires stretch out nicely and eliminate the puny look of the skinny front wheels. Here are the 215-70/15 tires on the old 15x5 front rims:



And here are the same tires on 15x7 wheels. (The one on the far left is a 255 rear tire):



Now if I can just manage enough restraint to wait until decent weather to put them on the truck.

Nice looking wheel markb01, cool as always...Vernski

[markeb01]

Thx Vernski. I'll bet you're enjoying that new shop this winter!!

[Vernski]

Hey yeah Markb01 throw a few chunks of buckskin in the wood stove an it's nice and cozy in there in no time. Good to go for a few hrs work, best investment I ever made no more frozen feet or fingers....Vernski

[knuckledragger]

Modified one of my lower control arms and removed 1 coil from the spring.

[jbgroby]

Dropped off the bench seat at the Upolstry shop. Expect it back in a week maybe 2 at the most. Mr. Jay (Picayune, MS.) had a beautiful 1939 De Soto in house and was re-doing the interior in a Houndstooth tan cloth, talk about gorgeous. Whew-wee it was pretty. I'll have picture ready when I pick it up.

[JasonBird]

i got my license plate today! yay now i can legaly drive it around! need to get the brakes working better though...

[TwoFiftyShifter]

Looked out the window at mine and saw it was covered in 2 feet of snow.... waiting patiently for the snow to melt so I can bring her in the shop. Need to mount my inner fenders and my passenger side door among other things....

[markeb01]

After plowing 8-10” of snow last night, I decided to do something fun today and slapped on the new front wheels. 20 degrees today dropping to zero tomorrow, so it will be a few days before I can take some decent photos.

Here’s a picture of the old 15x5’s on the front. The sidewalls bulge out quite a bit:



And here’s the same tires stretched over 15x7’s:

[daverod]

Quick get it back inside before it catches a cold. Those wheels really pop. Do you have a clear coat on that paint?

[markeb01]

No clear coat, it's just John Deere Blitz Black air dry enamel. It hides dirt really well. The hood and fenders are covered in dust and rain splatter and there's mud splashed on the wheel wells. I'm amazed how good it looks considering it hasn't been washed in a couple of months.

[old_1966_GMC]

work on my 65 hood today trying to find a to put gmc signal on a chevy hood

[rendus]

Finally threw out my old gas tank (which leaked like a shower head). And installed a new one from Eckler's. Clean gas and no gas smell!

[markeb01]

That is going to look so cool. Can't wait to see it put together. I'm envious of having a dash that comes out. That has to make it so much easier to work on everything.
