Didn't do any thing to the truck per say but I did pick up an Edelbrock intake and a Holley carb from my brother n law. Then put an electric choke on it. What a pain that was with Holleys photo copied instructions that were so dark I could barley read them

I was out in the pouring rain trying to track down a windshield leak I had had fixed a month ago. Around here if you want something done right you have to do it yourself. While I was at it and had the cowl off I reattached my antenna. Same guys that "fixed" my windshield broke off the connection. Saw that I really need to replace my rear window seal, may invest in a slider while I am at it. Originally, I had set out to clean up my front brakes and repack my wheel bearings. That's what I get for thinking...

I almost forgot that I took a lawnmower shutoff cable, cut it in half and tied it to measure with a carrick bend and now I can slide my seat back and forth for the first time in 17 years.

Installed inner and outer grills, light bezels, bumper, and front lens.
Snaggletooth no more.

Next is new rubber floor, arm rests, dash pad, peddle pads, crank doughnuts, dome light, and seat cover. The visors are perfect.

Replaced some rotted gas lines and started putting on my new chrome bumper and started rubbing out the old paint. What a difference with a bit of elbow grease can make on the old faded paint.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

Bought 2 more. Because I'm insane.

Took mother in law for a little ride in HER truck tonight.She asked my wife what I had planned for the nite,the cruise inn or what, and she wanted to go riding for a little while tonite.

Couldnt tell her no.She has been the banker on the truck.

Her and the father in law used to ride around on Sat. afternoons in the truck and I guess she had him on her mine tonite.Father in law passed away suddenly back in Feb.2000.He was planning on retiring in Oct. of 2000.He was going to do a complete frame off but we didnt make it.


Sorry for being long winded.

I have been looking all over the Houston and surrounding areas for a new bed. The one that I have as can bee seen in previous pictures was a little crumpled and the floor looked like swiss cheese.

We took a little vacation to Stratford, OK last week and on the OK City craigslist up there, found this:

Guy up there had bought it for his project and then wrecked the truck before getting to use it.

Best part...... $100

Problem..... getting it back to Texas. I guess that is a good problem.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

Got the body panels hung and aligned. All but the hood. I need a buddy for that one..
Just experienced what all the fuss is about on new after mark parts! New front fenders and the pass side stuck out at the bottom 3/8" by the rocker. "Can't shim that". Even put the old fender back just check, and fit like a glove. Oh well that's all done now.
Couple flaws yet to touch up, hopefully headed to paint in August... :):):)
