What do you have left to do to your truck?

[In The Ten Ring]

I had to stop on the truck. It's been two years and I still don't have it back together. Now I did get pretty far this past summer and fall......I am nearly ready to put to back together. It's just too late in the season to continue.

As far as I can tell, this is what is left before it goes back on the road.

1). Finish cleaning up the outside heater box. (wet sand, clear coat, reassemble).

2). Fix the washer motor/hoses/tips....whatever it is keeping it from working.

3). Get the NOS cowl cleaned, primed and painted.

4). Get the passenger side fender painted.

5). Clear coat the inner grill and reassemble the grill.

6). Reassemble. That means putting all fenders, core support, grill, carburetor, and hood back on. Also, put in the new radiator.

7). Replace all belts and hoses.

8). Fix the stuck parking brake.

9). Start! (Spin oil pump with a drill first).

For those of you still in the middle of a "build" what do you have left?

All that is left for my 72 is to get the heat to work on my Vintage Air system ,the Air will freeze you out but so does the heat .

I still need the following;
1. Install brake lights & wiring to them.
2. Install sound deaden er & carpet.
3. Paint & install the steps @ bed side.
4. Paint and install the door panels.
Oh yeah, tags & insurance.
Miscalaneous.

Actually not too much left.

LOL, I was gonna say the same thing, getting started and finishing up

[joeydurango]

Ah, does finding another truck to start count?

[71CHEVYSHORTBED402]

I'm still in tear down mode. About about 95%?

[midniteblues]

Mainly just blocking/sanding and paint
I still have the door stuff too rebuild wings,latches (again) door panels need paint yet.
Do this exhaust.
And all the glass pretty much reassemble after paint.
The good thing is everything is here too finish it up.except the door latch refinishing I've done them a few times but never came out right I might send them out too be redone.

The bad thing is no heat so no body work gotta wait till spring.
Oh this oct. Was 3 years it's been in the garage it should be completely done by next oct. That's a year over my plan. Oh well

[67swb72klb]

Which one...lol

[special-K]

I'm sorry, I don't know how to answer this question. What exactly is a left to do?

[68panelman]

Ain't these trucks just like our homes?, Never complete, when you think you're done, ya find something else to do/fix?.

[Already Gone]

I made a list of what I want to do my truck and as you can see there is lots I want to do. My truck runs drives and looks great and I'd have no concerns going on a 500 mile trip with it. As far as what's left to do well as has been stated they are never finished. If I do eventually get the list below completed I'm sure other things will pop up not long after.

Complete tear down and rebuild and transfer too 72 4x4 chassis so almost done

[BossHogg69]

I'm more on the seemingly endless 'home stretch' of my build than the middle, but interior is the last major hurdle on my list, along with wiring up the parking lights & horn. I also have to replace the brand new March power steering pump that gave up on me last weekend after less than 500 miles, which was a pretty big let down since I finally got the engine tuned and running like I want it.

I just got my truck during the summer, and and I had to do a little bit to it (new disk brakes, update engine, hoses, plugs & wires, etc.) just to get it to the reliable driver state that it's in now. And now it's in dry-dock until next spring.

I'm not even gonna do a full restore on it, just fix the things that need fixing, and still here's my laundry list so far:

1. Drip rail strip and fix (including door frame)
2. Drip rail sealer
3. Drip rail paint (including door frame)
4. Remove cowl, clean, and reseal
5. Reset passenger side door gap
6. Rework engine fuel line
7. Overhaul front end suspension
8. New tires / alignment
9. Bench seat cover
10. Strip/clean dash
11. Dash pad
12. 3-point seat belts
13. Sending unit install
14. Gas tank (?)
15. Heater core (?)
16. Bed floor
17. Bed wheel wells
18. Bed cover
19. Bed Liner (?)
20. Clean/ weatherproof frame
21. Cab mounts
22. Cab corners
23. Rocker panels
24. Fender fixes
25. Patch paint

So yeah, it's an ongoing thing. Hope to get at least half way through the list in the Spring.

I typically write a new page of "Things To DO" (TTD LIST) every time Im out in the shop at this point..... but with every line that I cross off the pages I feel like something is getting done.

Its beginning to feel like a "bucket list", but God willing I will have ample time to enjoy the fruits of my labor when its all done...

At this point the list is long.... and life is getting shorter!
