Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
Built up new exhaust to put the muffler under the bed and exit in front of differential. I am no professional welder but I manage to stick metal together. Much better on the sound and the old exhaust exited short and you got a whiff of fumes occasionally. Now you can actually hear the radio.

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
I was kicking myself for not getting it sorted and done before putting the bed back on the frame. Would have been WAY easier.

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
I bet it sounds pretty good with a single exhaust and shorty pack and turn down. I did that with my old 56 ford truck. Made that Y block sound way bigger than it was.

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
It's WAY better than this. I slapped this together to get it running and driving but after the first trip from Beebe to Searcy and back I told my wife that exhaust wasn't going to cut it.

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
Thanks . I’m going to have to repaint the right front fender at some point . It looks good but I have a area the metallic is distorted . Not many people would notice but it bugs me . I did end up using the SS arms on the side view mirrors .

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
The SS arm looks fine on there, you can always change that down the road.

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
In the paint booth today! She went in Grey and complete, but she’s coming out white and done right. Should be put back together by end of next wk. Contemplated painting her, but the previous owners paint job was just horrible and wasn’t sure what was under the paint, u just never know what’s underneath until u strip it down. All OG metal was in great condition, minus a 2”x3” section on the driver side door inner panel had a bit of rust, cut and repaired. Can’t wait , been a long 6 months.

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
Somehow most of the daily drivers in my family needed oil changes, so I gave the truck its winter storage change today!

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
YEA! I passed emissions today. Didn't do a thing to it. Even had a year-old paper air cleaner.
Usually my hyped-up 292 L6 with Clifford headers, dual exhausts, Offy intake and Edelbrock 500 CFM carb flunks emissions on my '68 C/10 Stepside. Then my buddy and I doctor the carburetor a few steps leaner, changing jets and meter rods, and tweaking the A/F mix screws. Then I go thru and pass [so I can renew registration], and then we soup it up again with wider jets, etc. to cruise the rest of the year. Last year, it was running swell so I didn't bother to reset it. Looks like I hit the sweet spot. Also, end of the month, so I cashed in my 1000 Fuel Rewards Points at Fry's and got a Dollar off per gallon. I tanked up 29 gallons -- 3 jerry cans and the main In-Cab tank. At $2.59 per gallon. I cruised by that station two days ago and it was $3.48. Nogoodniks jacked it up 11 cents, knowing it's the end-of-the-month and people will be using up their fuel points. Still, I'm happy not to be paying Cali prices.

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
I managed to rebuild the passenger vent window today . For some reason it was a lot harder than the drivers .

Yeah, the gremlins that live inside the doors demand their sacrifice of knuckle skin.

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
I saw a B-1 at an airshow parked on the ramp at DMAFB. The nose art was a Red Car. Her name was ''Christine.''

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
Spent today working on my center console, finally got everything stripped and then painted it white to make the bright blue pop more. Just waiting on the top plate to show up and then I can put it all back together to then sit and wait while I work on the seats.
