Merry Christmas to yourself, Mud!!!!!

My computer is on the fritz. Free hard drive from Apple is being installed, so I'm not sure if this is going to come through.

I found some two point belts in my parts stash that will work with the bench seat. So, in they went.

I talked to the guy I'm buying the OEM rear fender from....getting the shipping total soon.

I just uploaded the newly repaired fender pics to Photobucket, about to post those here.

I'm so happy to finally get started on my truck. I was so foolish to think I could just let it sit.

Got my plate yesterday, so she's legal.

Woke up to this today in Sunny California.

I guess they'll be no brake work today. :lol::lol:

:lol: Haha Mag, welcome to my world buddy, we have 3 x that here and -31c, very cold. At least it will get nice there sooner than here.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

My dad came over today and I was able to show him some of my progress, new parts, and plans. He is impressed, which of course, makes me feel proud as can be! :chevy:

Today I learned that I can use polyarmour tubing for my new fuel lines and that I can get all of that and the necessary tools at the local NAPA. I also found out that dad still has the original hubcaps and wheels but it will next spring before we can get to those in his garage attic. Still that's very important as it will save me having to buy others. *Thanks to everyone who gave info on those topics.

OK! Just bought a Craftsman double flare kit, a member-suggested tube bender, and a Rigid tube cutter with reamer. Amazing how just this morning I was asking advice on prebent stainless steel tubing and now I'm ordering tools to do it myself. :-)

Mocked up my gas tank that I removed from the cab and put it underneath my frame and filled in some holes that were on the body. I decided to go with the 69 Camaro gas tank and do a flip down license plate.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

I was walking my favorite junkyard and Lo ! that RUST FREE '69 low hump cab is STILL THERE and picked clean as a bone , ready to yank but , I have NO WHERE TO STORE IT until I'm well enough to install it sometime late next year =8-( .

Bummer , that .

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

Surely someone on here can help you out.

Can you get the yard to hold it for you?

If I was near you, I'd voluteer.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

Today I finished (I guess) learning how to do my own fuel line replacements and what extra filters are best for what I have. I hope to start on this project in a few weeks.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

Thank you Sir ;

I do have offers of help to get it off and out of the junkyard but where to store it ? .

I have a terrible drunken b*tch neighbor who has been hassling me ever since I turned her down one night when she was horny so can't keep it @ home .

Oh , well .

I do hope all out there are doing O.K. in the cold , wet , snow and ice ? .

Re : " Community Service "
 

EWWWwwwwwwww ! .

Not even with your equipment :lol: .

It looks like I'll have access to a bead blaster to - morrow and get the new (used) intake & exhaust manifolds cleaned up and hopefully re painted .

Re: Re : " Community Service "
 

I know this is a Family Friendly Forum (FFF), but I can't help but suggest that your newly "accessed" equipment may be able to serve more than one purpose.

If you catch my drift.

:devil:

Re : 8 Days & Counting
