Re: What did you do to your truck today?
I put a skim coat over the left fender patch panel I welded in recently. And long boarded it smooth. If it looks good enough tommorrow morning I'll go ahead and shoot it with epoxy primer.
Next step: Driver's side rocker and floorboard

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
I needed to remove the adaptor off the steering column so the painter can get her painted and I can mount it. I had two of the correct length bolts and needed a 3rd. Wouldn't you know it that all I had was 1 6" bolt. Well Neccessity is the Mother of Desperation. Anybody else got creative with a tool?

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
Tried to start my new engine but have electrical gremlins. The starter engages as soon as the key hits the on position. I hate it when that happens. Now I'm in the wire tracing mode. Gotta hurry, LSRU is next week.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
Got the front suspension together, bled the brakes, got the power steering box mounted, brake booster mounted and plumbed(obviously)....getting parts together to put the turbo 350 in. Have to get the driveshaft shortened and rebuilt....it never ends....

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
Installed new front shocks with a tip from here. They were the Monroe 5852's that fit a 49-50 Chrysler New Yorker. Man this truck rides like a Caddy.... or a New Yorker....
Thanks for the tip fellas!

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
Painted the bottom of my cab.
Sanded the roof to get it ready for the 'flat' clear Going on the frame tomorrow afternoon!!!  Sanded the primer. Took off the remaining undercoating spots    Now this is how you sand a roof!!!! Figured I'd might as well sand it and get it ready to spray the clear with the flattening agent tomorrow. That tape better hold those doors closed tonight!!!!

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
finished painting the wheels and broke a stud off the front.put the seat in to mock up the seat belts and found out the buckle portion is to short.Drove it down the block and discovered the vacuum modulator is not working.Also discovered that the throttle linkage will hang wot.
