70s chevy · 06-17-2011, 08:06 AM

I'll have to ask fine69

magwakeenercew2jh · 06-18-2011, 12:55 AM

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

67Slider · 06-18-2011, 11:51 AM

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.

Mayo · 06-18-2011, 05:56 PM

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.

Before

After

magwakeenercew2jh · 06-18-2011, 06:05 PM

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!

fast50ranger · 06-18-2011, 06:22 PM

Decided to put my factory stock bench seat back in and take out the '97 Chevy 60/40? Factory is good!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Anybody want to buy a 60/40 seat?

gonnuts · 06-19-2011, 02:14 PM

Installed new radio and tach conversion kit.http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/a...1&d=1308507203

AZChevyland · 06-19-2011, 05:18 PM

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.

FRENCHBLUE72 · 06-19-2011, 08:35 PM

I rebuilt the 1406 and polished the wheels out next up is a wax job...

Jaysonb · 06-19-2011, 11:02 PM

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.

NevadaDVX · 06-19-2011, 11:27 PM

Just finished painting the cab and got the grill, Firebird markers (thanks member Gregful for the bezels) and Cargo light converted to a 3rd brake.......

67c10rustbuket · 06-20-2011, 12:34 AM

did a little media blasting before shaving the stake holes on the driver side of the bed (pass is already done) and modified the floor edge repair panel. almost ready to have a solid driver side, floor,rocker and everything in between !!

DorianB · 06-20-2011, 08:56 AM

Fixed broken turn signal inside steering column, fixed horn, found where my oil leak has been coming from, it was a good weekend!

dougminton · 06-20-2011, 09:23 AM

Installed new fuel line. No more rubber hose or plastic filter for me.

FRENCHBLUE72 · 06-20-2011, 07:51 PM

Welded up the upper cab roof seam and am now grinding it down..

GMC69 · 06-20-2011, 08:28 PM

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.

Trailrider95 · 06-20-2011, 11:36 PM

painted the dash, a nice silverish color. It looks pretty sweet. Got the drive line put back in. Next is putting the new carpet in.
