Applied a few coats of bed liner to the underside of my cab. Started the body work. The body work would be easier if...I had a clue about what I am doing!

redmonster · 07-03-2011, 02:28 PM

drove it to the store for a gas fill up

**FRENCHBLUE72** · 07-03-2011, 08:04 PM

Knocked off some bondo and sand sand sand.

wwotr · 07-03-2011, 08:14 PM

I changed my Front "Indicator/Running Lights" over to LED.
Reverse Lights are next week.

Then besides the Headlights, every light on my Truck will be LED.

i drove mine to the golf course...... left the keys in it on accident. i wasnt that worried about it. I live in a really nice area. I was just glad i didnt loose the keys on the course. I noticed they were not where i normally put them on the 12th hole.

BMERDOC · 07-03-2011, 10:20 PM

Stared at it through the front window of my house wondering if or when I'm gonna get this titling snafu remedied with DMV!

AustinScott · 07-04-2011, 04:36 PM

Drove to the Home Depot today to get some replacement sprinklers...
Just so happen to park right next to a pretty clean Black 69-72 truck.
Anyone here own this pretty sweet truck, took a sneak peak under the truck and noticed it had some Bright Red cherry bombs welded up under there.

Location Home Depot off 1431 in Cedar Park TX

bosco200 · 07-04-2011, 04:59 PM

Lubed my speedo cable....no more bouncy bouncy!

mdaven@aol.com · 07-04-2011, 05:01 PM

Installed my door mirrors, sprayed bedliner on floorboard, installed a LMC rubber floor mat. Slowly making progress in this Texas heat.

JayDubBlazer · 07-04-2011, 08:02 PM

Got my new lug nuts on the new wheels. Started to clean it out. Chasing down an electrical problem. Hope to have her back on the road in a week or so.

vectorit · 07-04-2011, 08:43 PM

Installed my OEM AM radio and speaker "system" in 100+ degree heat with high humidity, and bolted down my front seat onto new carpet and sound deadening.

Radio doesn't work, and I am hot and miserable...

ItsRandy · 07-04-2011, 11:51 PM

Mixed more bondo...made more dust. I wish they would have called this body fun, not body work!

willys72fleetside · 07-05-2011, 08:20 AM

Sanded the bed sides, now there ready for primer. Trying to get it painted before winter. I can only hope and pray
!

ges55 · 07-05-2011, 09:01 AM

I was driving in the 3/4 ton to pick up a sink & vanity yesterday & I noticed that the gas gauge was only less than a 1/4 tank. I had over 1/2 a tank the day before. I got home & found gasoline on the white rock where I park it. So I crawled under & found that the rubber gas line from the tank was kaput. Replaced & all is good except for losing about $20 worth of gas. At least it was an easy fix. I love easy fixes. Oh yeah, I also put windshield sealer up on the driver's side upper corner where I found that it was leaking the other day when I was driving on the highway in the rain. I don't think I had done that much with this truck, because I hadn't noticed it before.

67Slider · 07-09-2011, 07:08 PM

Installed a headlight relay upgrade from Classic today. Only cost me $30 bucks shipped. Installed simply but I had to put wiring loom over the whole thing. The yellow wrap they put on it was nasty! I am looking forward to pulling her out of the garage tonight to see if the lights are much brighter. Also installed my E-brake cover. About as much as I want to do in the 95 degree heat out here.

bruin_d · 07-09-2011, 07:28 PM

Smoothed my firewall today.

vectorit · 07-09-2011, 07:30 PM

Still prepping for tomorrows Brothers truck show.
So far today, wash, wax, vacuum, and wash windows.
getting ready to detail, just as soon as the heat settles down outside.

GMC69 · 07-09-2011, 08:26 PM

Brought the truck to the first car show since I've owned it. Since I've only owned it for about 1.5 months. Cruise Nights don't count.

I REALLY need to buy some license plate frames with the year on them. #1 question I get asked is the year, driving or stopped. Had 2 people just today as hat year it was as they were driving next to me.

*project 67 sub* · 07-09-2011, 10:27 PM

same as Vectorit, prepping for the brothers show tomorrow. and through a quick fresh coat of paint on the rims to make them look better, and not like crap. will be cleaning the windows etc. here in a little bit

71meangreenc10 · 07-09-2011, 10:30 PM

Got the new Sanden compressor in the GMC, going to the AC shop monday....Everything is ready now.....

ItsRandy · 07-10-2011, 12:40 AM

Mix bondo, sand bondo, make dust, repeat as necessary. In other words I continued doing the body work. I am sure I will need therapy after this.

Bull72 · 07-10-2011, 12:54 AM

Just wished I had more time on the weekends to complete the rebuild of my engine =)

bc gman · 07-10-2011, 01:21 AM

Started to put the bedwood back onto the truck ( what a pain in the ass ) I must of made 200 trips up and down trying to set everything another set of hands would of made it much easier and then I noticed that i am one small bed bolt and one large bed bolt too short.

profe56 · 07-10-2011, 02:43 AM
