Re: What did you do to your truck today part III
My truck wasn't ready for the Interstate but decided to go to Turkey Run yesterday... and I'm glad I did! Met so many cool people and saw so many awesome vehicles... Didn't get a chance to see them all but (if i can find the energy) may go back again today.

Thanks for sharing guys. I do/did have a slight concern...... Looking at the fit, it seems one should only open he tailgate to "horizontal" though. But I have to say, the finished fit looks great on all your trucks.

Re: What did you do to your truck today part III
Grizz I clearanced mine 1/4"(6.35mm) ALL around. Laying down the gate was not planned. I have air bags so if one wants a bike to load it's low enough or air out for max drop. I have a one ton with Cummins to do the heavy lifting. Great progress on yours.

Re: What did you do to your truck today part III
This is not "what I did to my truck today" but what I did to my truck the last 2 and a half weeks. Here is the Before photo:
 The previous owner did a wonderful job on this truck but I did not like some of his decisions under the hood involving painting the alternator, a/c compressor, power steering pump and entire engine red. Also, under the hood was showing its age with dirt and grime, peeling paint. Quadrajet ran okay but leaked down overnight. The project involved an Edelbrock intake and 1406 carb along with cleaning and repainting block Chevy orange. I chipped most of the red paint off the a/c compressor. Repainted the power steering pump back to black and replaced red alternator with a new 110 amp chrome unit. I also wire brushed the exhaust manifolds and painted them with por15 grey manifold paint. Everything turned out okay and looks much better than before. I just finished up this morning and took the truck out for a drive. I have a little problem with the throttle linkage wanting to hang after hard acceleration. I will work on that tomorrow. Here are the After photos:   Hugh |

Re: What did you do to your truck today part III
Got the flat and low stance I wanted. 12 bolt rear reset with 3.73 gears and an Eaton posi. Disc brakes backed by dual reservoir master cylinder with brake booster. Drop spindles to complete the look. It now goes like hell, stops like an angel and sounds like a demon.
Thank you Switch Suspension for the suspension work. Now you have the confidence to do more C20s. The alignment shop managed to improperly re-attach one of the moon discs and it went missing during a test ride. A new one is on order and the truck will be completely done by the end of the week. Next steps: Interior refinement and then more power!!!

Re: What did you do to your truck today part III
I am waiting on some parts for the 63 1/2 ton I am building so I worked on shortening the frame on a 63 GMC 3/4 ton I bought to flip and hopefully make a few bucks on one of these days.
Yesterday I pulled the bed off and today off came the front clip, doors, cab, and got her all measured up and marked off to slice and dice this coming weekend. Gonna shorten the frame and bed and put her back together as is.
