What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter - Page 22 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

New wheel cylinders on the rear picture is prior to replacement had a very slight leak on the right side so I'm replacing all of them.. Also replaced the bearings. Lightly packed them so they don't burn out before the gear oil gets to them. This is on my 68

c10Eric · 05-03-2019, 11:54 PM

I bought mine.

Sorry for the gigantic photo

**3757chevy** · 05-04-2019, 12:13 AM

Nice.

Welcome aboard. Here's a downsize for you.

dave`12 · 05-04-2019, 02:35 PM

Finally got my seat back from the guy that upholstered it.

Took weeks longer than he said, but great price and looks great IMO.

**HO455** · 05-04-2019, 02:48 PM

Looks great. I love the color of your truck!

**Thrill4130** · 05-04-2019, 05:52 PM

Getting ready to put giant piece of plexiglass on top of camper after it ripped on highway back from Lawrence swap meet. Also getting back door figured out. Haven’t tig welded in 17 years and it was as rough as you’d expect. Wheel covers I picked up in hope of trading for some stainless dogdish caps for my shortbed.

This week installed new wheel cylinders, 3.73 R&P, and an Eaton Posi.

**zicc1835** · 05-04-2019, 08:20 PM

Not my truck but what we did today went to a couple shows in NWA....Rogers,
Of corse they load up sideways ☹️

**Boog** · 05-05-2019, 02:04 PM

Here for ya.

**Steeveedee** · 05-05-2019, 11:52 PM

Gawrsh, those pickups and that '55 are so pretty that they bring a tear to my eyes.

So after I get a kink in my neck turning sideways to see the beautiful vehicles, I scroll down and see the pictures fixed!

72c20customcamper · 05-06-2019, 03:50 PM

Made the tool to press in the outer rear bearing on my ho52. Waiting on the new bearings. Started to take the bed strips out so I can start to make the bed. Going end of the week to pick up the white oak at the mill.

72c20customcamper · 05-06-2019, 06:20 PM

Bed is stripped. Really liking the condition of this truck. Also I wire brushed a small area of the frame and a quick coat of black. Think I'm going to have the inside of the bed sand blasted and do the frame at the same time

bmxbang · 05-06-2019, 08:30 PM

managed to grab this 69-70 front end today for cheap. going to throw it on the 71 once I acquire the rest of the parts, Bumper, and turn signals.

Jim Boy · 05-07-2019, 03:33 PM

cleaned drivers side mirror then drove it to the DENTIST. Ouch not tooth but wallet hurts. Have a good one.

71gmcC15 · 05-07-2019, 05:21 PM

Found a "new" tailgate for my gmc. It's off of a 69 or 70 chevy. Also grabed a cigarette lighter block off from it. Now i dont have a swich thare for the blower motor I needed somthing to fill the hole

Ganty101 · 05-07-2019, 05:26 PM

Took the steering wheel off and found out I need a new indicator swich and took the passenger door card out and found i need new felt for the window runners. 2 more issues on the way to getting sorted!

So it was busted? Glad you checked before just throwing the parts at it, though I was pretty sure it was the culprit. 👍

Yeah it looks around 50 Year’s old too if I’m honest. Now for the ten or so day wait on parts

weq92f · 05-08-2019, 11:37 AM

.
Got her up on stands ready for an oil change and lube on the front end. It has taken a year for the control arm bushings to start singing after their first lube. Must have used the wrong stuff the first time after replacement of shafts and caps? I'm going to use the same stuff again cause it's what's in my gun LOL!

Thinking of painting rotors too since it's up in the air and it's raining for the next few days.

Just finished installing a new water pump. Old one was quite wobbly. Thought I'd tackle it before it starts leaking or the fan decides to go thru my radiator.

Do you have the service manual? If so, there are things that could use lubing while you're in there replacing the switch. There is a bunch of manuals uploaded to this site, but I lost the link.

72c20customcamper · 05-08-2019, 12:35 PM

Nothing much..

I do have a Haynes manual, it’s not great though. If you find it let me know, could do with keeping busy it bugs me all this waiting!
