wHATANERD · 09-25-2004, 05:42 AM

Going this weekend to pickup A 1970 longbed I bought last weekend, Not sure were I'm going to starton it, The truck has been sitting up for the past 7 year, I'll probaly try to get it to crank.

sdkid · 09-25-2004, 05:43 AM

I consider anything I get done a success. Considering my crew, 2yr old and 3 1/2 yr old. They are great though.

Brainchild · 09-25-2004, 05:47 AM

I'm hoping to get the interior all painted,stereo installed,seat recovered,lights working,and muffler hangers put on the 71,and the brakes on the 49 if time/money allows.

WHew! That looks like a lot of work

**tnblazerk5** · 09-25-2004, 06:00 AM

well i am just going to put gas in mine and get out there and ride around in it and enjoy the ride !!!!!

and if it breaks

i recon i will fix it so i can get home

*1972C10* · 09-25-2004, 09:09 AM

I am planning on working on my New company truck Installing the bedliner/Side and tool boxes off the old one and maybe build a ladder rack Depends on how lazy i get.

formerfordguy · 09-25-2004, 09:18 AM

take mine to go see my boys play peewee football....

Orange '71 GMC · 09-25-2004, 12:26 PM

I hope to finish my power locks/keyless entry/alarm today. That along with putting in a few new pieces along the way.

Then I need to get my plates drawn up in AutoCAD to get cut out for my firewall covering the factory A/C holes. May do a little to get the new A/C more in the direction of installed.

Other projects I have outstanding...
Change tranny pan and gasket, change oil pan gasket, all the A/C stuff, another new windshield/gasket/trim install, and some other little bits I am sure I am forgetting.

This is after I have already "finished" my truck.

Jimmy72custom · 09-25-2004, 01:56 PM

I just finished installing new window weather-stripping in my 70 Chevy Custom Camper 20, and will be doing the door seals this weekend. Winter will be here before you know it.

Curbstone Mech · 09-25-2004, 02:11 PM

I'm planning on putting on an accel blue air filter element to match the blue ignition wires, put on a chrome glove box door, polish the wheels.
