What did you do to your truck today part III

[forestb]

Put my gauges in the freshly painted gauge cluster panel and bezel.

Lugnutz, here are a couple of pictures of the throttle connection on my 32/36.

Thanks. Those are helpful. My Weber might get a similar throttle connection although I do have the option of a throttle cable system.

resin coated my first ever attempt at a rad shroud

[Northwest Outlaw]

got the new brake system connected and hard lines ran

[jbgroby]

Got my in the bed spare tire mounted. Some days I get a few things done, some days I don't.

Very clean, I like it!

This afternoon was as much like old times as it's been in quite some time.

Applied a second coat of resin to the fan shroud.

Fab'd some brackets to hold it to the core support and shot them with rusto.

Swapped out the gray seat belts for red, then installed the bench seat.

Put away tools, swept the garage and called it a day!

The fan shroud is an interesting DIY project. Is that your own idea?

Nice interior in your truck by the way. I like it, but I don't usually get along very well with white seats.

You just made me flash back to AG: "That's *****in' tuck and roll! You know, I really love the feel of tuck and roll upholstery."

took grill off and worked on getting the dents out, cleaned out all the birds nest behind it, will work on the rad support and clean up some rust, lots of it here, will patch some rust holes, and try to get it all back together.

Th350 craped the bed so I'm pulling it to install a performance built 200 4r

AG is my favorite car movie ever .
I have a yard full of cool old 50s and 60s chevys and
a chevy powered chopped 50 ford tudor .

[robber grin]

Bought a new top-post battery for it, got it insured and registered, installed my new PA license plate, installed the 61 hood, park lamps, and harness from American Autowire, seam sealed the passenger side bed panel, fiberglassed the shroud one more time with mat...

Now I need to pull the shroud off the buck, and finish the body work on it before installing, then finish the engine wiring before Dwayne's takes it Monday for final touches, dual exhaust, and inspection.

WOW - FOUR YEARS LATER

[phillip123hastings]

Made a new CD compilation for a road trip

[Backpayne]

Took my truck in to have mufflers moved further back and exhaust pipes exit behind the tires. NOPE! $440 for that?! Good God!

No way this is typical cost, is it?

"You can touch it if you want, i mean you can feel it, I mean can I give you a ride" 😳

[Backpayne]

Lowered the rear of the truck with 300 pounds of play sand and two knuckleheads. I am guessing the rear springs are from a Jeep, because they are weak.

Love the leveled look though.

[The Rocknrod]

Looks great. Now you just lower your front end a bit and you'd be Throwin Down Like a Motown Clown.

[chad64chevy]

got my buddy buckets seat covers from 'Truckseats' on the forum, long wait but look awesome! it's hard to get a pic of the gray just right, but it's a warm gray, light color! also bought a yard of the same gray to get the armrest, sun visors, an half wrap steering wheel covered all in the same gray

they look really good in person

This evening the shroud is off the buck, trimmed, test fitted, and drying from one last complete coating of resin.

Painted and installed a new bumper on Loretta today, new hood and fender to follow
