Nice job!! Get those holes drilled and you're ready for sanding, staining and clear coating.

Well, it all started by fixing a seat belt. By the end I had the seat out, carpet out and door trim off. Now What???? LOL

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

Replaced the starter, easy swap once I returned the one given to me for the correct part. This thing is awesome, big smile everytime I drive it.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

Bought it a present...
An NP241 planetary doubler off pirate. Not really a doubler since its 2.7:1 but...
Now I have a late NV4500 trans, (soon to have unless I get burned) doubler, NP205. All 32 spline.
I was working on an NP203/NP205 doubler and found that the NP241/NP205 setup was cheaper, easier, probably shorter and certainly weighs less, plus it's clockable to tck the 205 up out of the way.
I figured since a PO had scrapped the original 205 for a 208 for better gearing, I'd solve that problem for good. Also since I need to get the driveshafts cut, why not do it right the first time...

I parted a Suburban to get the round pattern NP205 and made about $700 so $650 for the doubler is painful, but I talked myself into it. Not too difficult.

Drove over to a friends and scavenged the clutch petal & linkage for a transmission swap.

Is that a local truck? Floor looks a little rusty. Could just be the pic. Always cool to see more guys in and around lower AZ.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

Santa's Big brown truck came to visit today. Now I can get started :metal:

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

Well all I did today was add the rear brake distribution block to the axle. This weekend is a different answer I had two full days of thrash on the truck. I got the Seat modified to sit a couple inches lower. I also buttoned up the Air ride stuff so now I have absolutely no leaks. As soon as the new cable comes in for my camera I will get picture and a video of it doing it's thing.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

I replaced the lock set, Doors, Ignition and Glove Box. On another note, I loaded my previous girlfriend on a truck headed to Florida! Bye Bye Baby! We had a 17 year affair, but it was time. Love my Truck!

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

Wow lanman, you must love your truck cause that was a pretty girlfriend, more time for the truck now.:thumbs:

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

Yes, she was beautiful. I just traded up for a 2 year younger model. In stead of the lean athlete, I went for the Corn Fed Iowa girl(Truck). It was a great car, all numbers matching and correct date codes. 350/350 4 speed. So far it seems truck parts are cheaper than Corvette parts.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

Horne, What are you going to do with the floor. I have some rust as well, but my skills are not up to patching. I am not a Handy Manny. :metal:

Re : A Wise Choice !
 

Just so : built for comfort & work , not for speed .

Far less drama with the Iowa Girl too :chevy: .
