Re: What did you do to your truck today part III
Thanks. Those are helpful. My Weber might get a similar throttle connection although I do have the option of a throttle cable system.

Re: What did you do to your truck today part III
Got my in the bed spare tire mounted. Some days I get a few things done, some days I don't.

Re: What did you do to your truck today part III
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! |

Re: What did you do to your truck today part III
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. ![]()

Re: What did you do to your truck today part III
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.

Re: What did you do to your truck today part III
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 |

Re: What did you do to your truck today part III
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? |

Re: What did you do to your truck today part III
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. |

Re: What did you do to your truck today part III
Looks great. Now you just lower your front end a bit and you'd be Throwin Down Like a Motown Clown.

Re: What did you do to your truck today part III
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

Re: What did you do to your truck today part III
This evening the shroud is off the buck, trimmed, test fitted, and drying from one last complete coating of resin.
