What did you do to your truck today?

[jbgroby]

On Man that makes a world of difference.

As to holding on the caps, there are two styles of rims, yours has 3 "bumps" on the inner ring your cap snaps down over those. I have the early style with the 3 "clips" on the inside of the ring. I'll try to get a picture later

Those are the nub wheels. I have a set of the clip ones that came with the truck, too.

If you have WWs, make sure you buy some of this. Never use something abrasive like steel wool, it only makes scratches that catch more dirt.



A little time with the pressure washer...



And, a sneak preview with the caps:



Think I should add trim rings?

Those rims have been around the province at least once that we know of, looking good and I vote yes to trim rings

Thank you, my friend! Couldn't have done it without you!

After 4 trips to 4 different parts places, I finally was able to piece together my split lines and get them installed to the dual M/C. I still need to bench bleed the M/C and figure out how to lengthen my pushrods. Then after I paint the booster and M/C, I will have to bleed the brakes. I might just do all the after I install the engine. I just want to see the motor sitting in its rightful place and get it off the engine stand. Lol.

Finally ordered the Classic Update wring kit from American Autowire. Ordered it through ez2wire.com for $470 with free shipping. Lots of reading and suggestions from guys on the board and it seems like the best one for what I want to get to eventually and the ease of installation and quality.

Sorry no pictures, but I have been getting a lot done lately, but pictures are stuck on my camera. Need a new cable to connect to the computer. Got bed wood cut and painted, pulled the bed off, and am doing a cheapo Rustoleum paint job for the time being. Have so many other things to do that I don't want this to turn into a 2 year deal and I never drive the truck, sooooo going that route. Still needs plenty of body work, and this will be a "good enough for now" paint job. But my personality has a REALLY hard time doing anything "good enough for now," so I am having real trouble drawing the line. I am sure you all know what I am talking about.

Accompanied by one of my grand daughters, took the truck out for a ride and picked up a double pole, double throw momentary toggle switch for the new cutout system. The kits all seem to include a rocker switch would look out of place in my truck.

That is a real quandary and it will take some intensive consoling to get you over the hump. Just keep it in a drivable condition and things will fall into place just take baby steps at first till you get up to speed. The first thing you need to do is get a camera cord so you can download some pic's..Vernski

Worked on homemade filler panel for my "new" tailgate.
Trying to create a smooth, no letter look. Still have touching up
to do but so far so good.

I had to make 2 rivets for the GMC lens. I'll try to post pictures tomorrow. Pop rivets would not work because of the danger of breaking the rare plastic lens and they would stick out too far on the backside which has to be really close to flush. I'll smear some JB Weld just make sure they won't come lose and fill the core with solder. Although aircraft rivets are smooth, you can't beat them down.
