Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
My rims from Wheel Vintiques showed up. White walls from Hurst (Thanks Fish and Coach) are sitting at home ready to be mounted so I will send these off to the powder coater this weekend if I can.
I had them shipped to the body shop and the guy called me to tell me they are here. "That 8" rim is huge". ......Perfect ![]()

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
I bought a running 261, and a 235 with a bad lower end. The bonus is the 235 has the good 848 head on it. Also picked up some headers for the 261.
Probably will not happen until late fall, but already dreaming about Henry's new powerplant. :-) |

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
Long box arrived with the door channels. Looks to have been opened for "inspection" but nothing is missing. Can get back to the door mods.

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
Went to three salvage yards today looking for a seat for the 54. Scored this liitle jewel for $32.00 bucks from a 1994 chevy truck. Kind of rough, this is the best one i could find. Will need some foam repair and covered. Does fit nice.

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
$32??! Geez, I THINK the '89-'98 Chevy seats in SoCal junkyards are a lot higher than that. I think about $150-$200. Great deal and looks usable as is. For awhile at least.

Removed 3 of four bushings from a set of 49 leaf springs. 1 more to go today. Fun stuff.

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
Took a test drive. In the last few days I've installed my new floor mat with jute insulation under it, installed the Lokar thru-floor pedal, and put on a new Quadrajet that I bought of of CL and rebuilt. I also added a filter in the vacuum line to my brake booster. It runs great, all I had to do to the carb was adjust the fast idle and curb idle. I didn't even "tweak" the idle air screws but might play with those just to see if there's any improvement to be made. I love it when a plan comes together, happens so seldom for me, LOL.

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
Had the drive shaft rebuilt with a new yoke, carrier bearing, U joints, and balanced! Drives so smooth now! Also cleaned up the dash a bit. It was pretty dirty from sitting outside.

Bubba can you post some pics of your floor without the seat in when you take it back out in the future, about to replace the floor, just wondering if I should do away with the metal piece for the seat and just do a one piece floor. Looks like it fits pretty good. Awesome...

I'm going to trim this piece of tubing and reinstall across the back. The piece that goes across the back doesn't interfere with the seat I installed. Good luck Shawn |

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
Got a great deal on a bench seat out of an 87 pickup. Made new brackets and got seat mounted. Will now order new seat cover for it. Temps have been in the 90's and humid so making and welding new brackets took time.
