Re: What did you do to your truck today part III
It's doesn't look like much but to me it is a big step. I was able to finally get the inner rocker panel after getting the lower A & B pillars tack welded in. It's been a slow process with only being able to get a few hours a week to work on it.

Re: What did you do to your truck today part III
Installed the cluster and went on the first test drive. Found out the brakes won't hold pressure and the OD trans sis bad.

Re: What did you do to your truck today part III
Installed a 1974 PS box using the CaptainFab bracket.
Joined a safer 1974 telescoping lower steering rod to the upper steering column using a U-joint I bought on eBay. The U-joint has DD female connections with through bolts. My original 1965 steering shaft was shortened and the end milled to a DD shape. I also moved my steering wheel 3" closer to the dash for a more comfortable position. The inner and outer column sleeves were sectioned and re-welded to make things look more original.

Re: What did you do to your truck today part III
Installed these. I used to have some really rusty West Coast junior mirrors on, changed to smaller stock ones. Decided I didn't like the look nearly as much on my C20, and I couldn't see chit. Love these with the chevrons, but they still need a little tweaking and adjusting. Also, I have a lot of old holes to weld up. On to brake troubleshooting.

Re: What did you do to your truck today part III
I touched up the paint behind the grill. I didn't like seeing the white and red thru the white grill. Painted with rattle can semi-flat.

Working on getting the cab floor replaced. Started on the passenger side and got a few pieces tacked in this weekend around family activities. Now on to the rest...
