**FRENCHBLUE72** · 07-03-2011, 08:04 PM

Knocked off some bondo and sand sand sand.

wwotr · 07-03-2011, 08:14 PM

I changed my Front "Indicator/Running Lights" over to LED.
Reverse Lights are next week.

Then besides the Headlights, every light on my Truck will be LED.

i drove mine to the golf course...... left the keys in it on accident. i wasnt that worried about it. I live in a really nice area. I was just glad i didnt loose the keys on the course. I noticed they were not where i normally put them on the 12th hole.

BMERDOC · 07-03-2011, 10:20 PM

Stared at it through the front window of my house wondering if or when I'm gonna get this titling snafu remedied with DMV!

AustinScott · 07-04-2011, 04:36 PM

Drove to the Home Depot today to get some replacement sprinklers...
Just so happen to park right next to a pretty clean Black 69-72 truck.
Anyone here own this pretty sweet truck, took a sneak peak under the truck and noticed it had some Bright Red cherry bombs welded up under there.

Location Home Depot off 1431 in Cedar Park TX

mdaven@aol.com · 07-04-2011, 05:01 PM

Installed my door mirrors, sprayed bedliner on floorboard, installed a LMC rubber floor mat. Slowly making progress in this Texas heat.

bosco200 · 07-04-2011, 04:59 PM

Lubed my speedo cable....no more bouncy bouncy!

JayDubBlazer · 07-04-2011, 08:02 PM

Got my new lug nuts on the new wheels. Started to clean it out. Chasing down an electrical problem. Hope to have her back on the road in a week or so.

vectorit · 07-04-2011, 08:43 PM

Installed my OEM AM radio and speaker "system" in 100+ degree heat with high humidity, and bolted down my front seat onto new carpet and sound deadening.

Radio doesn't work, and I am hot and miserable...

ItsRandy · 07-04-2011, 11:51 PM

Mixed more bondo...made more dust. I wish they would have called this body fun, not body work!

willys72fleetside · 07-05-2011, 08:20 AM

Sanded the bed sides, now there ready for primer. Trying to get it painted before winter. I can only hope and pray
!

67Slider · 07-09-2011, 07:08 PM

Installed a headlight relay upgrade from Classic today. Only cost me $30 bucks shipped. Installed simply but I had to put wiring loom over the whole thing. The yellow wrap they put on it was nasty! I am looking forward to pulling her out of the garage tonight to see if the lights are much brighter. Also installed my E-brake cover. About as much as I want to do in the 95 degree heat out here.

bruin_d · 07-09-2011, 07:28 PM

Smoothed my firewall today.

vectorit · 07-09-2011, 07:30 PM

Still prepping for tomorrows Brothers truck show.
So far today, wash, wax, vacuum, and wash windows.
getting ready to detail, just as soon as the heat settles down outside.

GMC69 · 07-09-2011, 08:26 PM

Brought the truck to the first car show since I've owned it. Since I've only owned it for about 1.5 months. Cruise Nights don't count.

I REALLY need to buy some license plate frames with the year on them. #1 question I get asked is the year, driving or stopped. Had 2 people just today as hat year it was as they were driving next to me.

*project 67 sub* · 07-09-2011, 10:27 PM

same as Vectorit, prepping for the brothers show tomorrow. and through a quick fresh coat of paint on the rims to make them look better, and not like crap. will be cleaning the windows etc. here in a little bit

71meangreenc10 · 07-09-2011, 10:30 PM

Got the new Sanden compressor in the GMC, going to the AC shop monday....Everything is ready now.....

ItsRandy · 07-10-2011, 12:40 AM

Mix bondo, sand bondo, make dust, repeat as necessary. In other words I continued doing the body work. I am sure I will need therapy after this.

Bull72 · 07-10-2011, 12:54 AM

Just wished I had more time on the weekends to complete the rebuild of my engine =)

profe56 · 07-10-2011, 02:43 AM

sway bar installed
wiring cables for my electric seats
wiring cables to tranny shifter in order to make start the engine only on P and N
new driver rear brake cable
install hidden knock switch
all in the last three days.
I'm on the way to polish the rims

JON70CST · 07-10-2011, 11:36 AM

Installed a Holley electric fuel pump, and installed a new vacuum modulator on my turbo 400 as the last one was allowing tranny fluid to pass through to the vacuum line right to the carb.

Stringer · 07-10-2011, 12:59 PM

Tightened my steering gear a little. Big difference. Should have done it 6 months ago.

TX6T7 · 07-10-2011, 06:19 PM

Removed heater core/box, removed cowl panel from below windhield, cut out the old 6cylinder exhaust pipe and muffler. Removed tail lights, reverse lights, clutch pedal, door panels, instrument cluster

Also had to grind off some welds. The previous owner installed a sheet of steel that covers the wood bed and he welded it to the front, sides and back of the bed. It was a PITA, but luckily i had enough patience.....and a grinder with 3" cutting wheel.

profe56 · 07-10-2011, 10:15 PM

I did cut a low hump cover the same border as big hump to install it in my truck.
I've a camaro floor shifter but the cable is short with the big hump and with the low hump i'll have about 2 1/2 inches and I expect now will move more smooth and soft.
