Re: What did you do to your truck today!
Nothing on mine, but spent the day installing a stereo in a friend's 64 C10. Dash was already cut, but had to make speaker boxes for under the seat and in front of the B&M shifter.
Got done just in time to go to work.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
I took a shot in the face bleeding the master cylinder. Apparently there was an air bubble in the line

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
replaced diverter box in air con/heat system and cleaned all other duct work. my "S" duct is damaged so I gotta order another. I adjusted all the cables to ensure full movement and eyeballed every aspect of the system. I rubbed some "bay rum oil" from Plum Island Soap Company in the duct work to condition it and give it a little odor. :}
added a chrome water pump from Jegs and had the lower bolt hole of my a/c bracket welded back together. U never know what u r gonna find when u start digging in these old rods. I added a spring to my passenger side kick panel door vent that will close the door when I switch back to the "outside" air mode. took me forever to figure out how to get that damn door to close on it own. gave the carpet a hair cut where the mats have opened some of the loops. Washed and detailed the engine and suspension. Washed the body also. Installed 2 new parking lamp assemblies in the front bumper. changed the oil and filter. busy boy!!! |

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
Took her for a 30 minute cruise this morning. Found I have a short in the turn signal switch causing some brake light issues.
Picked up new turn signal switch after another 30 minute cruise this evening. Filled my Camaro tank all the way up for the first time. Fills great no issues and the gas gauge reads pretty darn close to perfect. The kids at the gas station loved the truck and couldn't help but smile as I rolled in blaring Sublime's- Love is What I got.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
You'll love they way that York works. Too bad they are so ugly, at least mines bends in with the other uglyness under the hood.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
Unloaded the freshly sandblasted/painted brake drums, 1-inch stabilizer bar, upper and lower control arms and transmission crossmember from my '96. Mocked up the transmission crossmember, then posed a question on here about correct placement.
Life is good.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
New front shocks. Monroe Gas from ebay for $28 shipped. Old ones were nicely preserved in grease though.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
I relocated my Prop Valve to the frame, then I flared and bent my own brake lines.
Also installed my fender well after remolding it to get rid of some factory bends that do not need to be there to give it a clean smooth look.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
Started DA-ing my cab. It doesn't take long once you start sanding to see just how messed up your stuff is. These trucks really were built as trucks, go figure.

I routed them straight down to the frame and bent the right side one far enough to line directly up to where it connects. I will have to either pull it away from the firewall a bit more or purchase some fasteners to keep it from vibrating and rubbing along my firewall, at the time I was more thinking of a clean look and didnt cross my mind about vibrations. also I was thinking on modifying my fenderwells to cover all the way over the frame to hide some extra area's so they may have to run through my fenderwells any how.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
Installed new door window channels, painted my arm rests, ordered molded rubber floor mat and stainless sill plates. Slow but sure, it is coming together.
