That looks so awesome... I want to copy that idea, do you mind??? I would make it a different design, but I absolutely love the barn board, and the 66 plate!!! Outstanding. I have a 66 plate on a bulkhead in my basement bar, and know where I can get more.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?

Installed Warn unlock hubs. Dropped the gas tank and took it to a radiator shop to be pressure tested, if it passes they'll boil it out. If not, I'll have to buy a new 1.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?

Installed new gas lines from the tank area to the engine. Took off the inner door panels, cleaned and greased the mechanisms. The windows ride and the doors unlatch much better.

Put in a new Optima battery.


Here is a couple pics from when we were working on the front end;

Re: What did you do to your truck today?

Not that is is like a major modification like most of you guys, but I had these magnetic signs and vinyl banners made up to promote my blog. I figured I could use the magnets at car shows or whatever, and I was thinking about entering the local parade next month and using the banners. I guess I could also hang them on a fence if that opportunity came up. Anway, no biggie, but I thought they turned out kinda neat ...

Re: What did you do to your truck today?

Swapped the 64 grille for a 61 dual headlight grille.

Installed an electric fan

Installed a set of 05 Tahoe bucket seats

Tomorrow I am going to see if it starts and if it does, I am hoping it doesn't have any leaks and it actually runs.

Tweak the air lines a bit, received more verbal lashing from the wife about working on truck so much.

I feel ya, here in east texas humidity is crazy. I have to wear long shirt when working on truck to keep sweat from hitting everything and sliding around.

198plus, i could never have a paint job that nice i would be scared to even drive it or bump it.
