Re: What did you do to your truck today!
Installed late 90's 60/40 split chevy tahoe/truck seats to replace the sagging original. Now I have power adjustments on the driver side and comfy seats.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
Went out for shake down cruise around town, since I have been tweaking everything for a good tune. Got home, then mopped up all the oil that my T221 likes to drip.
Then drained all the oil out of the T221, and then refilled it with new oil. I really need to get the T-case seals fixed! Still trying to get everything sorted for the upcoming Brothers truck show!

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
Found out the custom kick panel enclosures I bought from a member probably won't work. So then I decided to get my new carpet layed out so it can try to flatten out. Anyone know where to get grommets for the dimmer switch that'll match?

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
Drove it home from the mechanic. Now we'll see if the transmission holds up. They couldn't get it to act up at the garage and it was okay for the ride home.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
I finally installed my mini starter and then came to a halt when I realised I had one more wire than I had terminals. Looks like I'll be starting to strip the top end off during the evenings ready to install the new manifold, HEI and loom this weekend.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
The other day I replaced all the bulbs all over the truck. Replaced the lenses front and rear. Still trying to find my misplaced NEW sidemarker lenses. Thanks GMCPauls for the lenses! Bought them like 5 years ago!
Today I fixed my FROZEN drivers side window regulator! It was frozen all the way up so I had to deal with all that too! Thanks to Classic Parts! 1. New drivers side window regulator. 2. New matching locks for doors, glove box and ignition! 3. Fixed drivers side door latch control rod. Missing control rod attachment bracket. 4. New stainless steel vent visors. 5. New High/Low beam switch! Now I have high and low beams! 6. Lubricated everything having to do with the doors, latches, etc etc. Had a fairly productive day seeing that is was almost 100 degrees today! lata CHRIS

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
I fired up the "Lil Beast", took it out of the garage and drove it around the property just for the heck of it.
The "Lil Beast" is made up so many other years I can not remember them all, it is titled as a '67. It is a swb with a 250 backed by a granny 4 speed, sure fun to drive.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
I sanded the bondo I put over the patch panel for my fuel filler hole then masked it and hit it with some rattle can primer. Then started work on my stereo system, got dark before I got too far.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
I finally received my ECE trans crossmember for the 72' as well as a new 3/8" sender and defroster vent for the 67' Hopefully both trucks will that much closer to completed after this round of parts.
