What did you do to your truck today?

[SCOTI]

I worked on the bed floor a little more & I'm much closer to completing the fuel fill line. See my build thread for details....

99% rust free, 95% straight, 97% mechanically sound, 96% complete, and about 50% assembled. I'll throw up some "before" pics pretty soon, not that I'm going money-pit with her.
Immediate plans: rear wheel cylinder and air up flat so she moves.
fix dent on back of roof and a few little dings so I can primer her.
Install glass, trim, lights, pretty much put humpty dumpty back together again.
put a panel in bed so I can throw crap in there without losing it, and tires.

Eventually: Front disc conversion and booster
power steering
Replace Saginaw with a T-5 I have sitting around for Overdrive.
Tow hitch
Rear roll pan
tach

Thanks in advance for the tech info. I've already started doing my homework.

If I had a signature I'd probably tell you something about my blown 57" Chev.

congrats on the new toy and welcome!

All I seem to do lately is get to work to many hours, drive my truck everyday to and from.....

[ruffrida2005]

I built all my brackets for my 4 link and bags at work on the CNC, I love those things.

[Hottrucks]

took the truck out to get the news papre and pick up some milk down at the store...it aint much but is better than nothing....Oh did I mention that its -9* and the frost heaves are getting so high in the midle of the travel lane that riding low is alomost out of the question

[Turkey]

Got my tail lights put back together. Primered the tail gate trunions. Took the dog for a ride.

[slepysal]

Swaped out the tail gate on the stepside, drove the fleetside ( no rain!!)
plan on toping off the trany

[Hottrucks]

went to the train station

[ol Curt]

Started putting my Hurst shifter in. Had to get my wife to hold it from the top while I bolted something on the bottom. After several sighs and a few how much longers, I said...hey...it's not like I asked you to polish my knob, just hang onto it for a minute! She found a lot less humor in it than I!

[ruffrida2005]

That's funny Bob, my wife would have just droped it.

[SCOTI]

I worked on my fuel fill line again after getting off work this afternoon. This one task is taking entirely too long for my patience. I'm struggling to get what I feel is enough 'slope' so that all fuel runs into the tank.

[shortbed70]

Im taking steps backward and removed the rear suspension! Damn the rusted bolts and busted knuckles so I can figure where my notch is going. Heres how it sits without notch on the frame. I only smacked the same thumb twice...

[kev63rod]

well i started cutting out my rockers for rust repair. im excited, this is the first time ive posted in this thread. i hope the weather is nice this week and i can get more done.

[GMCMG]

I pulled driveshaft/brake lines/suspension loose/CUT the rear axle loose from my frame (U-bolt nuts were froze solid) on my way to a front disc/5 lugs all around conversion. This project has been too slow due to cold weather... Hoping to start pulling the front end apart tomorrow! (66 Chevy 3/4 ton frame for my 64 GMC build)

[skoffice]

I unloaded my new 8.8 rear axle out of my jeep today for the '64. I think I might go into the garage right now and start tinkering with it, maybe mount my fuel pump too.

[steveb64]

Took the idiot light instrument panel out in preparation to put a gauge instrument panel in. Also, took the heater control and cables out, replaced the broken heater control levers, and lubed up the control cables. Will be putting this all back in today. It's supposed to get to about 24 degrees outside today, so it won't be too bad. The sun will heat up the cab a bit and make it bearable, too much snow/ice yet to move the truck to the garage.

[ChopperDr]

I spent the last few days stripping the paint off a hood I just bought. Looks like my old hood will take less work than the new one. $100 wasted.

Another update for the continuing saga of installing a Camaro dash in my '65 C10 SWB SS: Test fit a "Covans" aftermarket dash panel. I was amazed at how well this fit with only some slight trimming. This will allow me to use stock dash mount style gauges.

Now I need to drop some serious "coin" for gauges.

Also attached my floor handbrake cables up to the rear brakes. I was pleased to find that the hand brake works great. Brakes get good and tight with still some extra ratchet pull yet to go.

[Nick's81]

bought it and hauled home 66 1/2 ton 2wd

[Envy]

[Chevy Fleetside]

I tured the crappy green firewall, black. I am going to try and get the engine and tranny stabbed in this weekend.

[Nick's81]

got engine swaped and front wrap mostly re installed
