Re: What did you do to your truck today!

Finished shaving the gas filler hole in the cab, and finshed priming the cab. Turned out really good!

Re: What did you do to your truck today!

Got the passenger window, locks, handles, inner and outer "wipers" and all the door hardware in. Got the weatherstripping in on the passenger's side. Tomorrow, all the same stuff for the driver's side. Hopefully.
The pic on the right is inside the passenger's door (sideways...sorry) showing the lock tumbler and the outside door handle plunger placement. The tumbler goes in AFTER the main mechanism
in order to more easily clear the rear channel

Re: What did you do to your truck today!

Replaced squeaky fan belt, bent the inner fender up to clear the power steering gear box, tightened down the valve cover and fired her up.

Found out why my battery was slowy dieing, the plug on the back of the alternator was loose and just 'looked' like it was plugged in when it wasn't.

I will fire her up and take her for a cruise.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!

Just got my new rims and tires put on today. They are 265/75/16 Michelin LTX MS wheels on 16x8 Ion Alloys 171 series wheels. The whole set cost more than the truck did.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!

Got the driver's door done today. Except for one part...the inside door handle do-hickey had a broken spring. I had two additional driver door donors.
One had no guts in it. I had to use the impact wrench on the other one to get the other door handle mech. out. When I pulled it, I found THAT spring was broken, too.
I dug around in the mess of boxes. Found one driver's door mechanism. The spring was broken, too. Damn!

The door lines up pretty well. In case you're wondering, the cowl is just sitting up there for storage so I don't step on it. Looks crooked, huh? Hahahaha!

Re: What did you do to your truck today!

Well it wasnt exactly today but what we did was load it with brush and haul it to the dump. Good thing we can just air up for the additional load.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!

Got the inside of the drivers door painted! When this dries I will hang it, then I can paint the outside of the cab!!! Got the hei put in yesterday, and had to butcher an after market passenger side fender last night, to make it "sorta fit".(got the fender from certifit) The fender stuck past the door a good 1/2", had to cut the upper mount off, chop out enough to make it flush, and also trim some of the bracing on the back. Fits good now, and only cost $75, and a few hours work.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!

Now that I have a truck again, I can post here.

I got a dust shield installed on the trans for the torque converter, and I installed a switch on the carb for the electric kickdown for the TH400.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
