Re: What did you do to your truck today?
Put the sbc 383 and tranny in the truck. Pulled out the crap stereo (four speaker holes to weld up now), pulled the dash out to get ready for the gauge swap.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
Installed new shocks and wow, what a difference. I think the ones I pulled out might be the 45 year old originals.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
Finishing up on repairing rust on the firewall. Only a couple more small patches, and finally will be ready to strip the old paint & spray some sealer

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
Bought a set of new rear shocks and designed some upper shock relocators to get the shocks setting more upright.
 On the way to the parts store I saw an early 70's shortbed 4x4 that had a nice lift kit with mudders all the way around. Everytime I see a vintage lifted Chevy I wonder why I dropped mine instead of lifting it. Remember Dino63's lifted long arm 2 wheel drive? http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...runner&page=11 Last edited by lakeroadster; 02-06-2011 at 08:31 AM. |

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
A co-worker told me about a 'new' wrecking yard near work. He thought there were some older trucks there, and I should check it out.
Yesterday, after work, I dropped by. Sure enough, there were a bunch of older American classics, all being prepped to be weighed and scrapped. Oh, the horror! Anyway, I talk to the owner and mention my need for a new hood. Any good ones around? He shows me a rusty '63 Fleetside with a good '65 front clip. I look at the hood, examining the rear brace area for good steel. Yippee! I said this looks really good. How much for the hood? Front clip is $100.00, hood is $100.00, piece or all, $100.00, I want that out of here!!!!! He had moved it from one yard in town to a smaller yard in a smaller town and then brought it back up to be nearer the scrapper. So, now my truck is yellow with a green hood. But it closes tight. I mean it doesn't feel wonky or anything. My wife even says it's prettier. That's a big complement from her, considering she's hated the yellow from the day we saw it back in 2005. I wonder what the neighbors across the street think now? I don't think I will ask them. AnlaufJohn
