Headed out for a can of spray paint, and refreshed my door panels. I read it on someone else's thread, great idea, looks like new, and saved money. Don't mind the speakers I have not put a new sound system in yet, haha.

Switched my 67 K20 from Armstrong steering to power steering. Finally finished yesterday. Had to shorten the drag link to get it to line up. also had to fabricate a mounting bracket for the pump. Bought one on Ebay but did not fit. Not really sure what motor I have or what the pump came off of? also not 100% sure what the steering gear came off of so the pressure hose I bought had the wrong fittings for both ends. had to fab that up as well.. Works great though!

One thing I know for sure is that when something isn't working properly, there's something I DON'T KNOW, THOUGHT I KNEW AND DIDN'T, or DIDN'T DO CORRECTLY...Hahahahaha!!! I rebuilt the brakes a year ago before I was done with the build. Then, 400 miles with slight pulling to the right. Nothing as terrible as it is now. Then the right rear wheel cyl started puking fluid. As far as I can remember, I put it all together correctly. But with your info and Tom's, I'm headed down for a new set of shoes, I'll re-check for proper shoe placement and adjustment... ...and if it's correct on the passenger side, and the new ones still pull (should say, "lock up" waaay early) without ever having been "wet", then I'll pull the driver's side to make sure that both sides have the shoes long-to-the-rear. Two sure things: 1) Something's not right; 2) It's REALLY dangerous...You should'a seen the smoke I laid down sliding toward a "surprise" yellow-to-red light from 65 out on our rural highway. Oh, and the third thing: 3) I really appreciate the input. Drum brakes are not my long suit. Keeping them for now. If I can get 'em to work properly, I'm keeping them forever. |

Painted the tailgate, fitting the bed (in primer) tomorrow so I can drill the wood bed. Then remove and paint and reassemble.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
jbassC10, have you had your truck on the road much. Haven't seen it around Russellville. Thought I'd seen most of them. Nice looking truck. Jim

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
I just went out yesterday in the carport and checked the dryer sheets and made sure no vagrant rodents were setting up shop.. :)

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
Remember to change those dryer sheets every month or you'll get an unpleasant surprise....
I just came back from running errands in my stalling out C/10 W/ 250 I6 & TH350 , two footing it through dense L.A. traffic isn't my idea of fun . I stopped to fill the tank and did a fuel economy check ~G , not bad for an old clapped out pickup truck . |
Re: What did you do to your truck today!
I removed all the trim (moulding) from the fender I bought from Jeremiah King. (It came off amazingly easy). Then I ran it over to the body shop to fix the UPS damage.

I got my Aux Battery system working on my longhorn. A big thanks to Roger Koop for the harness, fits and works great. Now I have 12V power at the back of the truck via the camper harness.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!

Played with glove box stuff while I wait for the new alt.
Nice day. So I was also under the hood cleaning up a little. In the mail came some faux leather sheeting. I'm trying to figure out if I want to match the cluster by getting a *real* chrome glove box and covering the center with an insert of this stuff, or just stop all the madness and paint it the color of the dash. :lol::lol::lol: |
