Re: What did you do to your truck today!
Well yesterday.... Installed some guages, cleaned up the engine bay and just have been collecting parts. My recent score were these poverty caps I scored for $50.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
I took truck out for its first cruise. It ran beautiful. Still have some air in the breaks. I went to a swap meet and found rear slider for ten bucks and a bench seat for fifteen. The buckets are pushing me too far forward. I like the way they feel but I have long legs and need the room. Took truck down to my moms and took her for a ride. We went over and saw my brother and he remembers my Dad and I driving into the yard in 1972. He was very emotional and it made for a great moment. I was 8 years old and remember it vaguely. I do remember watching rudolph the red nose and Dad asking me iof I want to go get a new truck and the salesman helping me up into the truck. Any way I am very happy to be able to drive the truck and can't wait to get all the bugs out of it.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
This was last night. I yanked out some heated coils and finished assembling my front suspension. I installed 2.5" drop spindles with 2" drop coils and did the caster mod by moving my lca forward .75". Had to do a little "massaging" as the caster mod moves the coil forward along with the lca

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
Did not do a thing on my '67 yesterday. I did however go to my son's house and help him a little putting the 454 back in his '70 swb stepper.
He had to take the engine out to fix some oil leaks on the oil pain and timing chain cover. I almost forgot he also replaced the oil pan because it was not giving enough clearance between it and the cross memeber. While I was there we talked over plans for the '71 he is building to sell, plans for the work on my '67 swb stepper and the upcoming the car show season. I guess I need to take pictures of his truck and post them on here.

I bought a gas pedal assembly and saddle tanks that came off a 71-72 over the weekend from some one at the TMS swapmeet.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
Just finished removing old glasspacks and replaced with Flowmaster Super 44's. Welded everything in place just need to find some tips. I love the sound compared to those old rusty glasspacks. Up next is new steering wheel.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
I've been doing wiring for about a week. I bought a Painless wiring harness, Optishift transmission controller, dual electric fans and controller, oil cooler fan and relay. Trying to meld all of these systems together has been like a slow migrain headache, you think it will go away soon but never does. I probably have about 40 hours in it and I'm not finished.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
Ya. For 200 bucks I'm super happy. Now just need to get some springs. I have some dropped control arms. But not sure if I want to use them. But it would save me some money for now.
