Rear LED lights are in....

**Backpayne** · 04-06-2016, 07:54 AM

I had it towed home.

Pretty sure the alternator is dead.

dwcardfan · 04-06-2016, 01:33 PM

Cruised it to work with my buddy and his 82. Another friend drove his 72.

**Chevy Fleetside** · 04-07-2016, 04:41 PM

Was crusin down the freeway when I heard something and then ran over something. After coming out of the store I decided to look at the truck to try and figure out what I ran over and if there was any damage. Well I found this. Seems like I ran over it also. I think something flew up from the car in front of me. At least I have an extra. I am just happy it didn't hit my hood or grill.

Finished passenger door for all new weatherstrip, vent window included. Drivers door is 3/4 finished. This was one of those jobs that took a boatload of time but if I was to do it again, I could literally do it in 1/4 of the time. One of them jobs u think back on and can't imagine you had so many hours in it. Oh well.

forestb · 04-09-2016, 11:18 PM

Painter sent me a photo of my newly installed trim around the windows. Also first sighting of bed on the truck.

TJ's Chevy · 04-10-2016, 12:09 AM

Put my 64 GMC on a lift today and greased the front end, and also repaired an almost melted electric fuel pump wire....I don't think wires like sitting on exhaust pipes....few zip ties and That problem was solved. EDIT. Yes I replaced the wire.

par4tom · 04-10-2016, 12:53 AM

Driver's side disc brake conversion on 2.5" drop spindles, new shock and cleaned/painted controls arms. Wife made me stop last night at 1145pm when she could hear me banging the ball joints loose on the passenger side spindles from the house, whoops!

I pounded the hell out of my left and right spindles until I found a method on this very site: http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...32#post7478532 Before this, I think I did more damage using the hammer.

Got the inside of the cab block sanded. Be wet sanding Friday.

OldChevy61 · 04-16-2016, 03:30 PM

Finished spraying the cab today.

**chevy2tom** · 04-16-2016, 06:52 PM

Did a little wiring clean up & found out the new ignition key from my aaw kit will lock my drivers door but not the passenger door which is great because the truck didn't come with a key lol

TJ's Chevy · 04-16-2016, 11:37 PM

Installed the new 572 in me an dad's 77.

jbgroby · 04-17-2016, 04:33 PM

We got the bed on. Took us about 4 hours to tweak the bed and cab bolts so the lines were just right. Will rethink the next two tone.....

**jayoldschool** · 04-17-2016, 07:13 PM

Pulled the left rear leaking wheel cylinder. Decided to do the rear pair... happy I checked, the right side was just as bad, just not leaking out the bottom of the drum yet. I'll order new ones tomorrow! It will be nice to have working brakes again. I should fix my parking brake...

OsOdeDIABLO · 04-17-2016, 08:50 PM

Made my truck more useless, hahaha. -Jimmy-

Samz · 04-18-2016, 01:09 AM

Got to doing some minor bodywork, repaired small rust spots on passenger's door. Installed two Flowmaster Delta 44's (1960, rebuilt 350 and turbo 400....both have 430 miles on them). Getting ready to paint her in a week or two. Ordered my wide whitewalls, they should be installed this Wednesday.
