I didnt even look at the 71 4x4.Rising scrap prices bought me out and I started cutting up all the parts trucks I have after saving the good parts.This week the parts trucks are being taken to the scrapyard.What about the rest of y'all?

Bought a pair of NOS 72 Texas truck plates. Bought a tailgate from STP 67-72. Nice score of both of them I do say.

I got some vinyl and started to go crazy on custom door panels (not very custom) and such. Started my stereo install to try to cover the POs butchery. Finished nothing thanks to a migrane headache mid-day today.

What I did: Put in a new distributor cap, ordered stuff to keep UPS in business.
Celebrated oldest daughter's 11th birthday. Here's to yours, too, Sonny!
:ennyd:

What Livrat did: Removed my shaved doors and put on my originals that have handles :c2: I tried to pay him off with coffee, doughnuts, the old doors, etc., but he would have none of it. While he was at it he put in my new key cylinder and identified that my 305 came out of a '78 Monte Carlo. Genius!

This board rocks!!

picked up my brake calipers/pads and tore apart a Dana44 for parts.

Re: What did you get done? 3/18/07
 

didnt do anything to the 72 chevy, except haul the parts to a storage area.

Got the 72 gmc temp. motor in and up and running, no it's all mine, traded my old daily driver for it.

I will get a thread with pics going tomorrow, it's to dark to take pictures at this time.

Put new carpet in the '88 and watched my dog have some fun.

Re: What did you get done? 3/18/07
 

Plowed the driveway again, and dreamed about spring and starting work on the 69 GMC again......

Re: What did you get done? 3/18/07
 

Waxed my truck, and thought to myself how nice it would be driving it.

I hate winter...

Re: What did you get done? 3/18/07
 

Went down to the Houston Raceway and watched the filming of Pinks All out, it was a blast.

Re: What did you get done? 3/18/07
 

well i spent alot of time and gas this whole weekend lookin at trucks and cars for sale// lots of overpriced hacked up crap and i've still got an empty garage

Re: What did you get done? 3/18/07
 

Didn't do anythng on the 71 this weekend.

My son stopped by today and we talked about old trucks for a while.

Went over to my brother's and helped him install brake pads, a new axle seal on the front differential and bleed the front brakes on his 98 Chevy 4X4.

Other than that I was getting stuff together for our trip down to Fort Smith, Arkansas next weekend to visit some friend.

Spent the weekend in shorts and flip flops. 80 degrees, light breeze, had to put on a shirt after 8 pm though. Gotta love CA weather! :lol:

But I did sell my parts truck and started sanding my new to me bed. Now I just need to find a way to dispose of my old bed...

Picked up my powder coated Rally Wheels. Polished the trim rings and caps. Got a new set of BFG's and Lug Nuts. Still need to get SS bolts for the caps(last owner painted orange). Then I put a few miles on them.

Re: What did you get done? 3/18/07
 

Wow, I'm sorry for all you snow guys. IT's been nothing but beautiful, 75 degree sunshine here in North California. I got my motor running, which now has aluminum intake and a 700R4. Not finished, but nearly there ;)

Re: What did you get done? 3/18/07
 

finally finished my led brake lights!!! and yes i know, i accidentally blew a couple lines in the pass side and one line in the driver's side. This pair set the learning curve :lol: Believe me they are much brighter in person.

Re: What did you get done? 3/18/07
 

I got my seat in - well, almost - it's out of a '91 regular cab - I cut 1.5" out of the middle and it's just the right height. Still gotta bolt it in - none of the holes line up, so I'm making the bottom of my cab a little swiss-cheesy, but I'll weld 'em up when I change out the carpet someday.

Hey mods: Any chance we can ban posts from folks in California during the months November-April?
:whine:

Re: What did you get done? 3/18/07
 

As much as I agree with you :D We cant do that:rolleyes:

Re: What did you get done? 3/18/07
 

My truck has finally melted out of the snow enough to work on. I pulled the gas tank out of the cab, eradicated the remaining rodents, started pulling up fibergalss patch work from the floorboard and I finished seting up the gears in my 12-bolt and installing the new billet pinion yoke. I just need to sent the pinion preload and she is done.

Re: What did you get done? 3/18/07
 

Replaced the rear brakes on my 71 C20.

Re: What did you get done? 3/18/07
 

OOOO PURTY. What valve covers are those?

Got started on some custom door panels

Theyll be trimmed, shapped, then covered in tweed probly. What ever shade for cream the seats come in will dictate the panels color. Custom armrests, kinda like the Copperhead ones that stretched over part of the door handle. Probly do some tuck and roll across it too.



And my truck was broken into... But its kinda hard to steal a truck that has no engine, trans, or steering wheel... go see my ranting thread about that one.

Re: What did you get done? 3/18/07
 

Got my '72 3/4 ton chassis in the garage and started taking it apart and cleaning it up, lots 'o rust, but not too deep. I did find out I really need a bigger compressor, the 20 gal craftsman has a hard time keeeping up with a air tools for cleaning up the frame.

Re: What did you get done? 3/18/07
 

Didn't do anything to the '68, waiting for my radiator to arrive, but I did change the oil and rotate the tires on my F&$d ranger.

Re: What did you get done? 3/18/07
 

Got my new headers and valve covers on. Still need to get it to the muffler shop for the remaining exhaust. Almost drivable, I can't wait! :thumbs:

Re: What did you get done? 3/18/07
 

welp got my donor motor out and started putting the go fast parts on it, picked up a 700r4 for $100 bucks and dropped the motor off the stand all in the same day.
