Re: What did you do to your truck today!
I went for a drive last night and when I got home I realized that I had sprung a hole in the radiator. I pulled the radiator and put it in the other truck so that I can take it in to the shop and get it fixed. I sure hope that I don't have to but a new radiator!

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
I finally had a chance to install my front sway bar from CPP. The only part I didn't like about the kit was that it comes with plated bolts, I changed them all to stainless.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
Spent the last few days making and welding up a notch cover, welded nuts in bed so I could still remove the cover for access, and started making bolt in inner fenders. Should have them done before I leave friday morning for a car show weekend.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
Finally found a good used gas tank at the junkyard. I took it out of a 68 C/30. Then cleaned up and repaired the brackets on the seat from my 70 GMC parts burb and put it all in the truck. Here's before and after pics.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
Rebuilt the carb on my wifes 66 mustang. Bought a starter heat shield from summit for my 67 , installed it. What a PITA! Took 3 hours. Took it out, attached the shield, put it in, won't bolt up, took it out massaged the shield, put it back. Still won't bolt up, took it out, cut both lower corners off, compressor starts to smoke and dies, finish with a jig saw. Put it back in. Fire it up.
Got my 3 groove pulley for my power steering conversion today. Can't sandblast it now cause my compressor is toast. But it was a good day. Both cars are still drivable so it was a successful day.
