Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
Im gonna try to salvage it, with the body being so low, I gotta cut the floor for a trans tunnel, and with the floor being so rusted Im gonna just cut the floor out from the tow boards back to the rear of the cab and do a custom floor. Im pretty confident I can fix the cab, sure beats spending 400 on a better one when I can fix this one with 150. Im about to move it to my shop so I can work on it more.

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
Spent the day yesterday replacing struts and strut mounts on the little lady's car, that freed me up to spend the rest of the weekend on my truck. RULE #1 If she ain't happy, you ain't happy.
Finished engine and tranny mounts today. The engine is now completely installed, hopefully for the last time! Tomorrow I plan to fill the hole in my floor that was cut out to compensate for the bell housing's new location. Posted via Mobile Device |

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
I installed a new set of front park lamp assemblies, and all new firewall grommets last night. Tonight I'll be finishing up some touch up painting in the cab so the new headliner can be installed. I took 2 weeks off from working on the truck to get some things done around the yard and do some repairs to my faithful daily driver so now it's time to giver on the truck again

Wow, beautiful young couple. If she's half as beautiful a person on the inside as she is on the outside, they'll be very happy. Best Wishes, Dan.

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
I got my new floor mat and sound insulation installed. The PO "clearanced" the firewall to make room for an HEI distributor and I think that's the reason for the wrinkle in the mat. I might have to cut it at the trim line and let it overlap slightly if it doesn't lay down after being in the sun for a while. Notice how well the pre-cut hole fits the dimmer switch. Also got my Lokar thru-floor accelerator installed with my original style pedal. I drilled and tapped two holes in the Lokar pedal and used two black flat head allen screws to attach the old pedal. I'm in the process of swapping carburetors so can't finish the cable yet. My old Quadrajet didn't have a choke so I picked up one off of CL with an electric choke and rebuilt it. My EZWire harness has a connection for the electric choke but I didn't need it when I wired the truck so I bundled it in the harness. I want to fish it out and route it while the carb is out of the way.
If you are ever going to install a Lokar pedal like this one do it before you install the engine. It's a PITA with the engine in place. |

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
I agree with the LOKAR pedal install, waaaaay easier with the engine out! Even having the trans out would have made a huge difference.
