What did you do WITH your truck today? - Page 5 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**TJ's Chevy** · 06-04-2016, 04:32 PM

Used my 64 GMC how it was meant to be used today! That ol 305 V6 pulled that load like a champ.

**LostMy65** · 06-07-2016, 07:06 PM

Went to Fisher's Supply in Canby.
Picked up a new Pressure Tank for our Well, and a new Hot Water Heater.

**LostMy65** · 07-12-2016, 04:34 PM

Got some more bark nuggets today.

**Chevy Fleetside** · 07-13-2016, 12:48 AM

I fed the beast today and took it on a cruise. Actually went bike shopping with my son. He outgrew his last bike here and needs a new one.

SnS C10 · 07-13-2016, 10:14 AM

I finally got my 64 c10 on the ground and as a roller after almost a year. Started life as a longbed, 292 straight 6, 4 speed, manual drum brake, 6 lug, non power steering. What I have done to date...

Converted to shortbed
Power brake conversion
5 lug disc front end
Re drilled and turned rear axles for 5 lug
Yanked the 292 for a roller cam vortec 350 that I rebuilt

Still far from being about to move on its own power but atleast it's showing some progress!!

scuderia · 07-14-2016, 11:20 AM

The wife and I took a 600 mile trip down the coast....

scoot_mcgrute · 07-30-2016, 02:09 AM

Finished up a bunch if loose ends and took it to its first cruise in. I was surprised by all the interest it brought! Dad's got the red 69 K20 in the picture =)

NVS-C10 · 08-01-2016, 12:37 PM

Took Frank to a local cruise night Friday evening.. and then some fancy photos Sunday morning.

**Chevy Fleetside** · 08-02-2016, 12:10 AM

I used it to drag my car out from hibernation. Left rear brake was locked up so it was hard to push. Was able to free it up after we got it out from its corner.

The only reason I keep this car is it is an A code car. Front disc brakes, 4 speed with 4 barrel carb. I still have the original carb for it.

**Chevy Fleetside** · 08-09-2016, 07:04 PM

Took my son to an appointment and then drove to the top of Mt Tam. Showed him the climb I make on my road bike and told him not to ***** and moan when he climbs a few hills around the City..

**Palf70Step** · 08-09-2016, 07:33 PM

Drove it to work. It likes 0-dark-hundred show time.

It's been my DD for about 5 weeks now.

That 4:30 PM ride though................I love driving the 64, but AC sure would be nice!!

NVS-C10 · 08-09-2016, 07:58 PM

Hit up a couple of shows over the weekend...

Frank got some looks

ol_skool_chevy · 08-09-2016, 09:42 PM

prep work to my frame...make sure it all fits before powder coat

Nice MY04, very nice!

**Chevy Fleetside** · 08-15-2016, 07:49 PM

Drove to the shop and fired up my Mustang for the first time in about 4 or 5 years.

Oil Pressure in the truck and idle. I think maybe it is time for a rebuild.

nail pounder · 11-06-2016, 10:36 PM

Thought I'd try bring this thread back. Last weekend we took some family photos with our newest edition Colt. Today I just drove it, put maybe 50miles on it then tucked it in for the night.

Wow what a lucky guy.
Beautiful wife and daughter and a new son.

Oh ya the truck looks good too.

scoot_mcgrute · 11-07-2016, 07:37 PM

This was a couple weeks back but I loaded some stumps in the bed and took em to the recyclers. Did pretty well minus a little driveline vibration that I will have to address if I ever lower it more on this chassis.

Hah, thanks. I am very blessed.

gabbin · 11-08-2016, 11:23 AM

I swapped the 327 out for the 355 roller.

Paul Y · 11-09-2016, 03:20 AM

Seeing this thread pop back up makes me realise just how much I miss using Woody.

Mr Pounder, congratulations on a beautiful family.

Can everyone start posting pictures of collecting their Christmas Trees?

Please continue.

Not trying to be a jerk here, really I'm not.

What did you do WITH your truck means how did you use your truck like a truck today. I love the concept of that, and like to see those types of photos and posts.

What did you do TO your truck means what new hardware did you put on it, what maintenance did you do, what bodywork did you do, etc. I love the concept of that, and like to see those types of photos and posts.

There's a reason there are 2 separate threads for thes 2 very different things.

forestb · 04-17-2017, 04:28 PM

I created a new license plate bracket. I have never liked the original location. It is all mock up parts. Have not put it on the truck yet.

72freak · 11-20-2016, 08:30 AM

Complete brake job on the 66, sending units installed in the Cummins engine in the dually and some miscellaneous stuff in the Suburban.
