What did you do to your truck today! - Page 133 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Baggerjohn · 01-19-2012, 07:31 PM

Just installed a new front bumper, I can' believe I waited so long. Trying to figure out how to install new leather seats I just scored. If anyone has installed seats from a Honda Odyssey, please let me know. The have hooks that attach to the floor boards. I think they were the second row seats. (two buckets and a center seat/console). Help.....Thanks

LakeAnna · 01-19-2012, 07:36 PM

Welded in all four cab supports and cut out a bunch of rust in the process... Thank goodness for the sandblaster!!

Whats the deal on gas cap?

Sicklajoie · 01-19-2012, 07:43 PM

New valve covers and air cleaner came in yesterday, along with new plug wires and protect-a-boots.

shawno72 · 01-19-2012, 07:56 PM

Added a rear chrome sport bumper. Then added the Chase Chevrolet license frame which is where the truck was originally sold from.

Shawn, truck looks 100% better with that bumper and frame......but your license plate needs to come home with me for a few days!

I agree 100% but I don't think your wife can paint the holes closed....or can she??

The front plate is not to bad but the rear has issues.

Thanks Scott. Only 2 doors, 2 fenders, a hood and a tailgate left to sand and paint. I've started on the doors. Oh yeah...and 2 wheel houses.

PAWS 72 · 01-20-2012, 04:26 AM

Installed new side marker lights,new battery terminals and vacuumed it out.New tires next week.Hopefully new side molding is going on.

MONTE · 01-20-2012, 06:27 PM

Aventur1- I had seen some of the guys on the site cover up the gas hole with the gas cap and a screw. I had relocated the gas tank but didn't want to patch up the hole.

Update
UPS man delivered the backup switch that I needed for my pistol grip hurst shifter. I have backup lights now!!!

502ms · 01-21-2012, 10:21 PM

IDK if this counts, but my truck likes to work. She doesn't care too much about looking pretty either.

And, just making sure the neighbor's house stays standing.

Delo69 · 01-23-2012, 01:39 AM

Painted a glove box emblem that I got from Pull A Part for 2 bucks..think it turned out pretty good.

aventur1 · 01-23-2012, 07:48 AM

Yes, nice job on the emblem!

dliving69 · 01-23-2012, 05:09 PM

Put my tailgate letters on, along with my new sterring wheel too. I kept it original with the horn button but it was a good day.

trev1 · 01-28-2012, 07:17 PM

Made a trip to the parts store. Bought everything I needed to finish up the rear axles.
New Drums, brakes, axle bearings and seals, new brake cylinders, new self adjusters, all new springs,a And new Master cylinder. Almost forgot the differential gasket.

Here are some pics.
Can't wait to get them installed.

Andy4639 · 01-28-2012, 08:55 PM

It was 65 degree's here today, Liberty SC. Washed it and drove it to work!

aventur1 · 01-28-2012, 09:53 PM

Took door panels in to get new leather skins....just material..I'll glue them on the metal when I get them.

Redleg · 01-28-2012, 09:55 PM

picked up my block to start my motor build!

69C-owner · 01-28-2012, 10:41 PM

Cleaned out the drivers side of the cab so I can start to drive it around the yard

67chevy1series · 01-28-2012, 11:56 PM

got a patina'd red 67 steering wheel for the 67 CST leaving the patina and going to clean it up a little..... also got other things like a retro tool box and an ole skool oil pump.

72 K20 · 01-29-2012, 12:33 AM

I replaced the mirrors on my 72 K20 today with a pair of these
http://www.brotherstrucks.com/prodin...number=OMA72PR

The fit is good,, they look good but I can't get the right side mirror to adjust in enough to be able to look right along the bed side the way I'd like. I guess that would explain why the old right side mirror was broken. Oh well,,, at least I can see better out of the drivers side !!!

Were the sport mirrors listed as an option on the spid ?
I have looked at the inside of these doors and the only holes are for the sport mirrors. There is no mention of any mirrors on the spid and the mount holes look factory.
The truck only shows 64k miles and I believe it to be accurate. The truck sat for quite a few years before I got it.

mud.man.rj · 01-29-2012, 12:35 AM

Mirrors look good but why is the normal and sale price the same? Weird, but the mirrors look good.
