Re: What did you do to your truck today?

Dropped it off at my guys house so he can go thru the rear brakes, replace a few fuel lines and change the rear axle fluid...

It's the first night it hasn't been at my house in over 2 years... And one of the first times I haven't been doing the wrenching. I just don't have the time right now...

Re: What did you do to your truck today?

My son's High School had a car show today and he asked me to bring the 63' 4x4 up. We bought it from a kid's family who is in his auto shop class...It does not look any different on the outside but I completely prpainted the engine and bay while I had it all torn apart to make it driveable...Got lots of praise for the motor and the fact it was driveable...On a side note my son's 67' Pontiac Lemans took best in class...his first trophy!

Re: What did you do to your truck today?

His shop class built the trophies at the begining of the year out of pistons from a 350 chevy..it looks pretty cool with an engraved plate on it....Best in show was a mid 70's Monte Carlo with hydraulics.....not our style but my son was happy!

Re: What did you do to your truck today?

It was actually a few days ago...I had to replace starter solinoid on my 62. I did get it fired up and ran it for about 10 min. Also started putting in the carpet so I can get interior back together. Wont be doing anything with it this weekend but hoping to get it on the road by mid June.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?

After 13 years of owning it, I finally decided to try and either sell or trade my '65. It's time for a new project! I replaced my last Harley with an '06 Road King and spend more time riding than working on the truck... so it's going on the block. Either a sale or trade !

Re: What did you do to your truck today?

It has taken a while but I had to tear half the front of the engine apart to fix a cooling problem....An HD radiator from a Dodge RV and a new H2O pump. Decided to repaint the engine bay and block. New brake booster and master cylinder from a 68' Vette. Also cleaned up the grill and fresh paint and a temp repair to the front bumper. I still need to get over to my father in laws t have several things welded up....Without a garage I have to work around mother nature here....Progress is being made....slowly.

Too bad I didn't win the lottery last night or I would buy the truck

How do we know you dropped it with your banged head and all you didn't post any real believable pictures for evidence.

Blocked out my tailgate, painted it, and got it reinstalled. Glad that's done I had no enthusiasm for it at all, I just wanted it fixed.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?

Installed the new ChevyDuty polished stainless door sills that just arrived. For an off the shelf aftermarket part the quality of the polished finish is amazing.
