Went to get "Serious Black" aligned today, but the shops local to me can't fit my truck on thier alignment rack, all except one...have an appt. scheduled for Tuesday at 1:00 pm.
Boy did I have close call on my way back to the house, had someone making a left turn in the left turn lane just to the front of me, then they decided they wanted to go right and turned directly into my lane, no signal, nothing...
Almost crapped my pants:jdp::jdp::jdp::jdp::jdp:but, I managed to dive over to the curb averting a disaster....man I have got to get my collector insurance done, soon!!!!!
Have a happy Father's Day everyone!!!

People are such idiots. I had a guy come up on me today while I was on the interstate. I'm in the slow lane, being the miserly gas saver I am, and he's not paying attention to my speed. I saw it all unfold in the rear view. He decides at the last moment to pass BUT there's a car there. He gestures with both his arms.....it amazingly has no effect on my speed. As soon as he can, he passes me on the left and then cuts across to the right two lanes to go south as the interstate splits.

Now why he couldn't get get into the split behind me is a mystery.

Glad you are OK.

Update on this, I drove the truck today and no leaks so far. Happy because I found out my alternator is not putting out : ( the joys of owning a old vehicle. Always something.
Fixed my door handle. One of the screws was kinda stripped so I drilled down the hole a little deeper and used a larger screw. Handle fits nice and tight now.

I learned the hard way to go on and preemptively fix everything before you hit the road than have one thing gone wrong as soon as you fix something else! :lol:

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
 

Spent a boat load of money for new parts... and did some small details on the engine to get it ready for the install... Now to get a little done on the bed side Im working on.

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
 

Thanks all the hard does pay off. I'm real happy with it.

I am hitting the lower part of my offset air cleaner with Permatex.

I may also hit the top part with gloss black. I just don't think satin black looks right.

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
 

Refreshed my door handles. Not bad for being on the truck 45 years. I'm looking for a NOS LH to match the RH I've got, but I wouldn't be unsatisfied to use these.

Nuts were missing on door for trim panel. JB welded 2 in there. This stuff is great when you don't have a welder. Just need to sand it down. But it holds great.

Man I like that! I need to buy a few for my trucks and maybe a few extra to hand out as Christmas gifts. Never have too many cup holders!

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
 

Painted my headache rack and put my light bar and rear work lights back on. She's looking better every day! :metal:

Gave my mom a ride, hauled off some trash, took some playground equipment to the guy who sold me the bed & returned some parts to my buddy that "helped" (he did 95% of the work) picked up a power steering pump from him to get cleaned up so that I can get that on. Very nice ride.

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
 

So what did your Mom think?

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
 

She enjoyed her trip, she has alzheimer's, so her thoughts on the truck are not like ours are, but she knows it belonged to my dad's dad, she liked how the seats felt, how she was able to see out of it (I guess how large the windows are?), and how it felt in the corners, her words were "it stays good", she was making a curve motion with her hands, I took that to mean that she was saying it felt good in the curves, but I'm not sure. She just likes getting out.

we stopped by my dad's brother's house, his eyes about come out of his head, he was almost in tears, he couldn't believe how good it run, especially since it really hasn't been on the road for about 15 years.
