Re: What did you do to your truck today part II.
Got the drivers side suspension out and steering box off. Started working on the pass side but got tired and quit for the night. Should have it all apart tomorrow and the controls arms off to the powder coater. Next I have to go the wrecking yard and get the brake parts and try to find some 5 lug wheels to use until next year.

Re: What did you do to your truck today part II.
Welded up all of the holes around the back window for the various racks the previous owner(s) installed. I also fixed the dents and welded up other holes drilled into the dash. All filled with a little more sanding ahead of me. After that, tape everything off and first coat of primer next weekend...

Re: What did you do to your truck today part II.
I went to Missouri and hooked a 83 chev it bought Saturday to the 66 GMC . used my tow pilot tow bar. Made the pull back home without incident. The 83 is a fairly clean rust free truck. 250 six and three on the tree. It hasn't been running for quite some time. Its a bare bones truck doesn't have air conditioning. The square cabs are not my favorite models. however this example hasn't been used and abused and was a too good a deal for me to pass up.

Re: What did you do to your truck today part II.
There is a complete dodge rear end in the bed. Hard to say if its anything desirable. The son is a MoPar freak has a 69 roadrunner . and he had a big stash if 440 & 383 engines & torqueflight transmission. I not knoweledgeable to know how to determineif the rearend is anything special. There also is a 8 hole 3/4 ton tire & rim in the bed. The inside of the bed is nice not all beatup and dented like most. The tailgate is good also.

Re: What did you do to your truck today part II.
Tore apart the tilt column and tightened it up. Found all the parts for the horn and got it to work. Removed all the OEM parts for the cruse control that were under the dash.

Re: What did you do to your truck today part II.
Thanks. As far as the swap meet goes, as is typical in this area, the only 60-66 parts are either repops (which we already have plenty of) or rusty (which we also already have plenty of). All I bought today was a cool old oil can.

I finally drove the blue truck farther then around the block. The Big Block pulls real nice for a stock burb engine.

Re: What did you do to your truck today part II.
out of the blue the Finance Committee (wife) allocated funds to buy a lift
$1400 and change & around 10 hrs 5hr to clean the garage 5hrs to install lift finally got it set up . in my defense the lift was cheep and The 64 swb needs a muffler & and someone here asked for pictures of a rear tank set up . Goodby dirty wet cold bug infested gravel drive way .

Re: What did you do to your truck today part II.
Hey that's nice! I like the hammertone color and look. Is it rattlecan or spray gun? Any more info would be appreciated. Thanks.
