Moved some things around in the shop and changed the wheels n tires on mine. I found those ram horns I've been lookin for. I need some new exhaust pipes to go with them.

I GOT A NEW ONE!! Havin the short box is great but i still miss my longbox. I spend more time on craigslist than anyone ever should but this time it really paid off. Last october I decided I wanted a wall tent. After some searching I tracked one down in denver and the guy wanted $100 or something. When I called him and told him I was in town he said he wasnt at home and wasnt worried about it and told me I could just HAVE the tent cause it needed some work. Fast forward to last week. This tent is just too damn big for me to do anything with by myself (16x33 canvas army tent). So I put it up on craigslist for sale or trade for old chevy parts. Takes no time at all and I get a guy from Wyoming calling me saying hes got a gauge cluster with factory tach and factory tilt column. I agree to a trade obviously! After a brief pause he says "you know what you can have the whole damn truck if you want it. I have the title and it runs." One week later, last night, I brought the truck home! Heres a pic of the tent and the truck!

not bad, a free truck for a free tent. the only thing spent was gas. right on man. i met up with the western washington guys down in monroe at the swap meet yesterday and had a good time. LIVRAT gave me a gmc core support that i was supposed to trade a chevy for, but he just let me have it. THANKS LIVRAT! i also sold the bench out of my 72 for way less than i originally wanted for it, but i decided that i didn't wanna pack the thing back home. i also sold the chevy core support, along with a box full of tpi parts that i won't need. i also got a procomp cdi box for my ezefi conversion and a driver's rocker. so not too bad

It DOES get better.
From 2005-2010 I had ZILCH to spend on my Truck.
Had to sell a lot of personal crap to do the small things.
Since my Wife and I have moved down South, (the Money is better).
In the last 5 Months, I've spent $5K on my Truck.
Guess I'm making up for lost time.

swapped carriers from two rear ends to end up with a posi in mine. also cleaned up the rear end and painted it. also have replaced the brake pads.

Well I went by and saw the "Mock-up" of my Headers. I'll take pictures tomorrow and post them. They're being sent out to be Jet Coated,
while the rest of the Exhaust is getting tucked up into the Frame.

Got me a goodie today for my 67 chevy c10 at the Pick a part here in Oc. GOt a auto column off a 69 3/4 and installed that today in my truck. Still need a few parts for it. Spent $50 on it also bought new universal joints for the 2 piece driveshaft will be installed tomorrow.

I drank a beer and searched the interweb for my stolen truck.

[60ratrod]

finally got the wiper arms off so i could get the cowl panel off. and i found out why i have moisture intrusion into my cab. its from all the crap that proping the cowl window defroster vent open. i'll get photos of it later. but the good thing is it looks like there isn't any rot, or major rot in my cowl area

I took seat in to get re-upholstered!! Hope to have pics on Friday or Saturday. After a lot of thought, I went with "custom" over stock, but love the insert fabric my wife picked out. It brings everything together.

That is great, when you get "Positive Input" from your Wife!
My Wife is my Color Coordinator/Designer for MY Truck.

This.

Replaced the passenger side fender with a repop from LMC...and never again will i buy a repop...Alignment sucks!

and took my bed wood to get planed.

Took the day off "sick" today and did the power steering conversion on my 67. The dimple and notching the radiator support bracket went good. It was the 5 trips to autozone and Checker to get new belts that ate up the whole day. Just finished up. Working ok but loud and I may have a leak but I am done for today. Time for that beer and a recap of the ballgame.

[60ratrod]

finished removing the front clip from my 72. i ended up having to grind the nuts off the core support bolts since the threads on the bolts were destroyed by rust. and i vacuumed out my cowl as good as i could and got quite the mouse nest out of the passenger side of the cowl. but now i really need to replace my drivers rocker since the front clip was holding the door area together

[60ratrod]

removed the drivers rocker since the only welds holding it in were what i put in it. 3 tack welds and a couple cuts later i now have room for the new rocker. i just gotta put it in now

[67Slider]

Bled the new power steering unit. Working flawlessly. I am so stoked that it actually works as good as it does. What a difference it makes in the drive.

[Jeffs70]

I cut some holes in my trailing arm cross member for my exhaust and welded in some 4" pipe to sturdy it up and keep it clean.

[60ratrod]

got my replacement cab support and driver's rocker tacked in place. i'm actually rather impressed with how well this novice body man did!

[FRENCHBLUE72]

Started to weld up the cab seams.

[elf w/capital T]

22nd attempt at getting my signal/brake light issue fixed and changed oil

[gonnuts]

Put in a corvette servo in my 700R4 and took for a drive. 1-2 shift is much better now, not hard by any means but at least I don't have to let up on the pedal when it shifts.

[67c10rustbuket]

I sold my original 283 this morning on craigslist $100 ! good bye, time to clean up that frame, .
