Re: What did you do to your truck today?

Repaired the leaky float on the gas tank sending unit. I kept wondering why it would only hit a half tank when full.... now I know.

Test fit the big block in the 'burb. Everything looking good, with only a couple slight mods needed for a little clearance. Will post pics tomorrow.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?

Here's a couple from test fitting engine yesterday, also added a couple from the sheet metal I did on the driver's side floor and the new brake pedal. It's all roughed in got alot of finish work to do, but the test fitting and fab are going pretty smooth.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?

Got the fenders back from the painter today. Could not wait to test fit one. The color is much more promounced now that I have a fender on. This Canyon Blue sure is the Cats A**.


There must be someone watching me, after I mounted the fender a REALLY spooky thing happen that made me PAUSE. On the radio Carly Simon started singing "Anticipation". I loked at the radio and then looked around the garage, weird!

Re: What did you do to your truck today?

Checked out a local salvage yard that has several '60-'66 trucks/parts. Scored an instrument cluster w/gauges for the 'Burb, also found 4 bucket seats from a mid-'60's van that are low backed and really cool.
