Re : Found Another Cab !
I went by a local , tiny junkyard I know and the guy has a 1969 GMC 2500 l o n g bed with ZERO RUST cab , a 292 I6 and Muncie SM465 tranny ~ the truck is in passable shape and he wants to sell the whole thing for $2,500 , I just want to buy the dang cab , it's very nice and crawling underneath it I saw NO RUST ANYWHERE .
Sigh  .I'm just wishing & whining here as I can barely walk right now so naturally I'm finally finding those California rust free cabs I knew are out there.....

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
Made an appointment for Monday to put in my new OEM windshield trim. RIGHT, this time. I hope.
Played with glove box doors...Looking for a chrome one...Trying to match up the interior so the glove box door and inst. cluster...well....., never mind on that. Not having too much luck. But I *did* pick up the new (to me) aluminum Vintage Air firewall cover from the anodizer. Thanks again, Tom. Wish I was the type of guy that would go out and pull the hoses right now....I'll wait until I do some other work before I dump all that nice cool-gas, get more o-rings, and then have the system evacuated and re-charged. I'm mental...But not crazy...

A little more tonight.
Playing with some stick-on stuff for a glove box door. Got it at a hobby store. Chalk and all!!!! "What did you say you needed at the store?"

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
Made an appt. to have the broken windshield replaced in my truck , it seems there's a paucity of competent glass installers these days so they want me to bring it to the shop but they will still honor the $200 OnLine price quote so I'm pleased .
This time , instead of a shaded windshield I'll go with tinted . No more clear ones are being made . So much so in fact , I am having them replace the pitted windshield in my old Mercedes Sports Coupe at the same time .

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
Actually did this last weekend, just getting around to updating the thread. got the drivers side welded up and primed. Still have to do some trimming on the bed to get the wider tub to fit over the corregation of the bed. Working on the passenger side today.. kinda.
  and the test fit...  I have also decided that if I ever have to depend on my welding skills to survive, I will starve.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
Stenciled "RAT"on that $200 cover. Weather's gonna hit. Not much chance, but I don't want to see this cover on someone else's truck.
Did a short-term change-out of the glove box door (metallic "black" hammered finish paint...not really black, huh?). Just until I can find a used one with no dents and a good chrome edge. As you can see, I dressed it up with a pre-67 badge. Just to see who could possibly care enough to be pissed about it.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
Installed a new GM 350 in my Dads 70. Not a bad little weekend project. Would have been nice to clean and paint the bay but we still got a bunch of little things done on this old truck.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
Discovered a MASSIVE vacuum leak in my engine , it's stalling out constantly , I hope can find it before Sunday but I'll drive it there anyways
.Power brakes are fabulous ! 1/4 the pedal effort and uses NO HP ! .

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
picked up a pair of rear drop springs and a gas pedal from the junk yard.
I had seen the springs about 6 months ago but though someone else had got them, they just hid them in the truck of a car for their next trip. the gas pedal was already removed and mixed in with a bunch of junk in the floorboard, I must have overlooked it the last 4 or 5 times I was there

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
What's wrong with your generator ? . they're dead simple to routinely overhaul and NAPA has the parts .
Or cheap to buy rebuilt exchange . Easy to upgrade to the far better Delcotron SI internally regulated alternator .
