My butt is growing root in the chainr this weekend.

nitor · 07-17-2005, 12:07 PM

I painted the inside of my bed, painted my tailgate, re-painted my frame, painted the floor boards and painted one of my doors where I had sanded through the clear and into the paint. That was yesterday. Now today, I have to put on another electric cooling fan and tie-rod ends.

Lobo'74 · 07-17-2005, 12:14 PM

Been working my tranny problem. It looks like maybe its the clutch. . .

Bill72BB · 07-17-2005, 12:45 PM

Trying to decide to order a new carpet kit ,but then figure I better change out the dash bezel , change the AC duct's put in a CD player,and a new antenna B4 so I won't get the new carpet dirty.

Hell I'll just drain and clean the spa .

tomatocity · 07-17-2005, 02:24 PM

Saturday: chickenwing (Rich) and I pulled a 1967 C/10 home. Clean the bed and some of the cab. Pics will be soon. Spent the evening recovering from dehydration (no joke). Sunday: reorganized the garage this morning. Some yard work. Plan on watching NASCAR. More garage this evening.

frost89434 · 07-17-2005, 03:44 PM

trying to finish my project for hot august nights too. I got the drivetrain almost done. I am going to work on finishing the painless fuse panel and wiring. Got the new panhard bar installed. It's getting close. But I am running out of $$$$$ really fast. I probably won't make it.

68Stepbed · 07-17-2005, 03:45 PM

I am a bit scatterbrained. That might happen.

Alexis · 07-17-2005, 03:55 PM

I helped my aunt put up screen doors yesterday. Today I got to change out the shocks on the burb. Taking a break from britney, though i did clean her up and organized my tools.

Joe67 · 07-17-2005, 04:03 PM

I got my trailing arms cleaned up this past week. Installed the bushings.
Test assembled my front steering parts, working on getting the rolling chassis ready

cdowns · 07-17-2005, 04:11 PM

did the lawn thing yesterday/today i varnished a couple of room divider countertops/ also made a mount for my pressure regulator still have to polish it and clearcoat it tonight after dinner

**Palf70Step** · 07-17-2005, 04:53 PM

Using the 96 for yard work is about the limits. Cutting and hauling bushes and tree trimmings. Also pulled some stumps with it. Not heavy loads just alot of crap. Cut and moved 3 loads Friday, while I did 4 on Saturday. I did mount my towhooks on the 96 and straighten it's rear bumper from the owner abuse of yanking stumps with it.

Got a little more sanding done on the 70. I also went and looked at a customized 76. Who knows, maybe the 70 will get some company?

69chevytruck · 07-17-2005, 04:59 PM

I was installing rear motor/tranny mounts, and looking for the reason my battery discharges every day and fixing the gas tank sender and inlet.. Three hours on the monuts, I decided to take a break. Since this is my daily driver and the bed is off so I could fix the gas tank, I really should go back to work. But....
