Re: What did you do to your truck today?
Sunday: Pulled the crappy seat out that came with the truck. Removed the jerry-rigged speaker box out. Tried to mount the new seat to the stock brackets but needed some flat bar to make adapters so will git er dun next weekend. Found a 1/2" wrench, kitchen knife, 2005 high school football schdule, a pay stub and two packs of rolling papers under the seat.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
I put in the bench seat so I could sit in there and make "vroom vroom" noises... does that count? If not I worked on fabbing my motor mounts. Putting a 250 where the 235 used to be.

I had a set on a previous car, and sounds like I may have a deal worked out with the new owner to trade them back

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
Pulled the engine back out!!!! as the builder used too long of a bolt on the balancer and it was not tight. Thus I have one huge POS... Starting over bought a 400 block and I get to reuse my heads intake and carb, headers, valve covers and oil pan. The rest is wiped out. Crank had .018 thrust, it took out the rods, pistons, Crank..well it had a craked key way so it was junk already. Block was not 30 over but 60 over.. He is out of biz and no one can find him..

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
I have my truck off the road for a few weeks to get some stuff done.
The battery is being relocated under the bed on the passenger side. I got the box built for it last night and hope to install it tonight and wire it up.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
I bought my truck back from a friend today after trading it to him for a '72 Harley project about a year ago. It's in a million pieces but it's actually in better shape than when I traded it! haha

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
Fabricated and installed brackets moving the fog lights 1 ¾” forward and down ½”. They had been mounted on top of the bumper, nearly in contact with the G & C grille letters. This blocked the view of the letters and made it difficult to clean the letters and the lamps. The new position also makes the lamps look more “important”. The brackets also permanently align the elevation, allowing deletion of the adjusting swivels. To properly align now all they need is left to right positioning. The best part was the project only cost $1.68 for some new nuts and bolts.
Here are a few before and after shots: Before After Before After |

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
Just got back from the painter and he has the clear shot on the upper sections of the cab and dash. We're getting close boys!! The finish will be semi-gloss, the clear was still wet.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
Bought a split bench seat off of craigslist. My bench is shot, needs new foam and a cover, which would cost more than the truck itself did, so I'm gonna use this one. Upholstery and foam are good it seems to be pretty comfy, almost as comfy as the the fact I got it for 20 bucks!
