Re: What did you do to your truck today?
I imagine you probably prefer the photo with the family added, but that rear shot really makes the truck look tough! Very cool indeed.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
Thanks Mark, I like that one too. She took that as I was lighting up the tires a little. My son loves to feel the power as much as I do!

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
Tried to install my repo driver side arm rest on my 72.I cant for the life of me get the screws to start in the armrest .They go into the door easily and look through the armrest holes and they line up perfectly ,take them out and try as I might they just will not start in.What am I doing wrong ? I did manage a few bad words but all it did was made me feel a little better. Will try again tomorrow.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
Consider taking the front panel off, putting them on then re set the panel, would it be easier that way?

I had to put on a long sleeve t-shirt to work out in my shop. LOL. It was mostly to not get sun burn.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
Drove to work like I do every day, still get the thumbs up from some drivers. there`s several guys at work that are looking to buy 60-66, seems like its growing more so now than ever, maybe availability, mostly maybe not out of reach price wise but getting noticeably higher...!

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
Ok guys!! My dash finally got some color today. A buddy of mine who is a local car painter laid down some H2 Hummer yellow and it came out great.
Finished!

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
took out the stock bench seat outta of my 61' to put in the 1997 60/40 seat in. Didn't fit like I expected it too. SOOOO I took the orig. bench to a local uhpolsterer and he quoted me a decent price so I am sticking to the orig. bench seat....
