Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II

I replaced the alternator and the little fuses near the headlights and now the amp gage works!
Last weekend, I sectioned my bench seat foam and re-topped it with high density 3" foam and trimmed/sanded it to look as it should. Way firmer and not sitting in the crater. My arse is thankful.

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II

Picked up the RH/LH upper tailgate moldings and they're mint. Wasn't cheap, $170 with shipping. I "kinda" only needed the RH, but the LH I already had isn't quite perfect.

As appearances go (exterior, interior, under the hood), all that's left is to figure out the rear window frame, and the paint separator molding under the cab. Of five pieces, two pass. Hopefully not looking at repro. for those, because all else will be mint OEM.

That said, I've picked up a few items that are repro, like small rubber bumpers, battery tray (well worth it), wire gutters, bolts etc......The wiring, mounts, and seat cover will be repro. for certain.

Expensive hobby. I've even delayed my retirement by 6 months (out 12/2016). Long story, but a 6-month delay puts an additional 15K in my pocket. This project may reach 25K.

Incidentally, excellent engine and interior up above. Nice work.

He's very excited to get started on it. We're pulling out the 267 and trans tomorrow.. He just turned 18 5 days ago and his car has delayed work on my 72 C10. I hope someday our kids truly understand our sacrifices for them... Lol

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II

Today I finally put my new tires and wheels on. 325/65/18 Firestone Destination A/T's, Helo He886 18" wheels. Wasn't sure about going with the 18's but I got the tires for an awesome deal from My brother so I decided to go for it. Still not sure if it was the way to go but it'll do for now. 72 Cheyenne Super 4" Rancho lift.

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II

I got the fan shroud cleaned up (well a little anyway). I couldn't do electrolysis on it and keep the original sticker and I couldn't reach it all with the wire brush. I did what I could and found this neat little guy, all covered up by the 2nd rate 1990 paint and bondo job.





I taped off the sticker and gave the shroud (it's not really a "shroud" but I call it that) and 1 radiator bracket a coat of NAPA Rust Treatment.

yea the guy wanted the whole truck...lol and the tool box my son made for me. we talked to them tonight about an hour ago , they like to never got to Waco , every time they stopped the people looking at the truck would not let them leave , and when they got to the eating place they were to meet the new owner the owner and the whole place went out side and looked at the truck. the guy that drove it to Waco is now trying to buy it from the new owner..... its cool to hear that some one else likes ole dollor as much as I did. I think the trucks name is going to be the Liberty truck....I guess that will work....

Unhappy Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II

2nd day of installing new wiring harness from American autowire, I was crimping the terminals that goes on the connector thats plugs into the dash. Well I crimped then wrong. I striped the wire & sled the wire to far in. the cooper is under the bow part of the terminal. The bow on the terminal is design to relax when connecting to the dash. Went to NAPA, no old style terminals in their book. Have to wait til Tuesday (Monday a holiday) & call Autowire. Day three today Engine bay.

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II

Finished installing a new starter. The wife pulled her 67 out and the. Then it would not start. Just a solid click. Few whacks with a hammer and it started. So we went and got a new starter and its bolt holes were not as deep as the old one so be to get shorter starter bolts. But it starts good now.
