Nice job on those cribs! I like the idea of two sections to attain the height.
I see a trip to Lowes for some 2x4's in the near future.

I bought the 2x4's on Kijiji for cheaper than store prices. It went very easy with it being two stages and was all done with my jack and no blocks on it.

They are amazing! Stumbled onto using mine almost by accident, but going to use it more moving forward!

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter

I am so out of everyone's league here.
First day of working on my "new" '68. Made a custom gas pedal, scrap metal and parts box bolts that matched the tap sizes. Need to maintain the Bucket Of Bolts theme.

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter

I blew up my engine yesterday.
I guess it was just this engine's time. It's probably the factory 283. It has a rochester 2bbl on it and it smokes like a fiend, tons of blow- by too. I even topped off the oil the day beforehand, but I guess the rest of it was too thin. Regardless, about 12 minutes into my drive down Route 46, the gremlins came a'knockin.

Couple hours waiting for the tow, and the truck is back in the driveway, sitting until I find a new heart for it.

Yeah I had fun with this engine while it lasted. It was surprisingly stout for a worn out, low ci v8. Ha.

My friend who works at a shop has a '98 350 with "lt1 heads" sitting around that was supposed to go in a client's car, but said client wrecked their project before this engine went in. It's looking like I'll go that route for now, as it's the easiest.

For sure, Jess! I could use a pal who's local with some experience building these rigs.

I'm not too upset about the engine, it was coming eventually. Now I just have a fire under my ass to accelerate that portion of my plans

Patch work on the cab supports. Bought slip on support covers but didn't like the way the fit or function. There was enough good metal there to fix them.

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter

So I was taking the bolts out of my shifter and hit, broke, one of my micro switches for the p/l. To fix it I had to pull it apart, redo it and all the wiring I did before. My standards went up and it didn't pass code.

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter

Just worked on my new 68. Truck has been sitting a long time. It would start and then starve for gas after a couple of minutes. Let the pictures do the talking. Shame is the owner put a new tank in 2013 and it's full of rust.

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter

No pics, but I finished modifying the bench seat sliders to fit my bucket seats yesterday. Just need to blast them and paint them. Still have a lot of work to do on the seats themselves though. Gotta repair the foam and get the skirts and bottoms cleaned and painted, then install the PUI covers.
