I usually only get to drive it around when I wash it, still got a couple years till I get my license. Strange enough, we've got a '99 Silverado and 2011 Equinox I drive around the house, I feel the most comfortable driving my 40 year old truck.

Ha! You guys made me go out to the garage and grab this little item that we used when we built low-tech bikes (Harleys and BMW Airheads) and wanted to put "stuff" on 'em.

I think I'll follow the lead and add this under my dash for whatever might come up in the future.

Thanks.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!

Bled and adjusted the new brakes and took the 1968 GMC 3/4 ton 4x4 step side long bed on her maiden voyage around the block. Still need a little more brake for normal driving, but after spending months and months working on her it is a much needed victory!

Re: What did you do to your truck today!

Had to take the old girl to save this cab. It was heading to the scrap yard. Has the section over the windshield I need and great floors. It has very unusual rust in the lower passenger firewall.

Going to cut the roof off at the post and re-weld it to my other cab. Guess I need to fill my Argon bottle

Sure get alot of thumbs up when driving the 72!

I gotta say, that's a cool picture. Looks like it could be an album cover or something.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!

Over the past few days I've installed a power steering setup and replaced one motor mount and the trans mount, both of which came out in two pieces. Hopefully my vibrations won't be as bad. I also found out I had the wrong crank pulley and the belts would not line up so I had to order another one from a board member. Can't wait to get this thing back on the road with the power steering, should be a lot more fun to drive.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!

well I ended up unpainting my cab today (which I just painted yesterday)... my bad. Blocked it out after the base was applied, just didn't look worth a darn so I had to see how bad my previous sanding job was.
Now I have to strip all that $100/qt stuff off.
