What did you do WITH your truck today?

Glad to hear it's running good, PontiacGurudan.

Thanks, it only had about twenty miles of shake down miles before I hit the highway and hoped for the best. Crossmember swap with power disc brakes, add a tbi 5.7 and 4l60e that I cut the harness up and reworked. It's made 3 trips to work so far with no problems. Brakes and steering feel so good it's amazing and it goes 75 on a whiff of throttle in overdrive. I need to get my Speedo working this weekend. Going to try to put the 1995 guts behind the stock dash. We'll see how it goes.

Those are some crazy side view mirrors. Do you have a close up?

I took advantage of the holiday schedule to go visit family in NC. I've taken the truck to Daytona which is only an hour away, so this was the first multi-day road trip! Even though NC is a day drive, I planned a stop on the way up in Charleston SC. I enjoyed it enough to stop again on the way back. I had to get the tires rebalanced in NC, the radiator cap is leaking some I think and had to disconnect the speedo on the way back to Charleston, but otherwise it did great.

Went and hung out with the tourist's at Cannery Row in Monterey

I have a concourse show this weekend so figured I better clean a little and finally painted my throttle spring the almost right color.

I need longer studs too.

Brought it to work, went to Home Depot and Chick-Fil-A.

Hauled a small piece of furniture home. Forgot to take a pic with it in the bed.

Been doing a lot WITH my truck this year.
Went and got a 3/4 ton of charcoal mica slate for a pathway.

I totally forgot about this thread. My 66 was getting work done March and April. I picked up playground tiles, 62 cinder blocks and cap, 34 bags of concrete, a yard of dirt and fence materials. I built a "dog free zone" for my little guy to make babysitting easier on the grandparents. Only problem is he wants the dogs to come in and play too!

Sure wish my truck looked as pretty as yours!

Thanks! It was a decent Craigslist special to begin with. We have quite a few hours in it and lots of memories.

I like it much better now than when it was a purple people eater!

Great day today. Drove the truck to work (about 45 min each way). Loaded it up with a boxed up dual exhaust system and some other parts that my buddy in Vancouver needs. Brought home an SBC serpentine conversion, and my spare Powerglide from the school shop. City rush hour traffic, and 65mph on the highway on the way home. What a good truck.

Not really today, but over the last week, I did Hot Rods Drag Week. I drove around 840 miles and made 4 runs at 4 tracks. Best run was 10.905 @ 124 and average was 10.984 seconds. Great drive especially thru North Carolina between Asheville and Georgia. No problems with the truck other than the passenger side door did not want to latch- pulled the door panel and fixed it in less than 15 minutes at a gas station.

Well, mine was last week too. I moved my 40' ABC trailer up to Fawn Lodge from Oak Run, Ca. It was a trip of about sixty-five miles and we climbed about thirty-five hundred feet to cross Buckhorn Summit, then down another fifteen hundred feet or so to Fawn Lodge. Fun trip and the truck handled the trailer with aplomb.

So funny though, every time I stop to fuel up with this combo, I get offers to buy both!

I just bet the folks behind you loved that you were towing.

I finally found some electric fans that would work after a few trips to the junk yard a work buddy ended up having some.
