Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
You bet - they are the U.S. Mags Indy U101 Polished Wheels. I've always loved the classic, period correct look of the slotted mags and these are the only ones i could find for a 3/4 ton.
Same look as the K20's "older brother" too - my 66 Impala SS... |

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
She's still rusty but the driver's side door has all new rubber and felt along with a wing glass rebuild. Now to get the passenger side done.
Also adjusted the door to get the gaps consistent and it open/closing like it should. That was probably the biggest pain.

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
Put in a new light switch, now its not so touchy when I have the dash lights turned up all the way. Often when I turned on my cab light, the dash lights would go off and had to wiggle the knob a few times to get them back on.
I also replaced the upper chrome tailgate trim clap thingys, so the trim isn't loosey-goosey anymore!

Slowly getting my 67 fixed up. A long neglected work truck is starting to look much better.

What a great looking truck, love the color combo, I've always been a fan of GMC trucks.

Added a support bracket. Ran out of black fittings But it's not gonna flood anymore. 5psi running creeps to 7 after you turn it off. About over carburetors altogether.

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
Replaced my in cab fuel tank due to previous damage and poor repair (not by me) that started leaking. Also, wrapped the tank in sound deadener to make the fuel pump quiet...it worked.
