Washed it, then drove it all over town. Here it is at the local parts store parking lot. Had to stop, running a special on brake cleaner.

Bought new front drop springs from CPP! My youngest son was inspired to do his pinewood derby car from one of the posts on here. He is making his a truck!

Re: What did you do to your truck today!

Fixed an oil leak, changed the oil, filled the gas tank, took her to the car wash, then put her back in the garage until the snow melts (July I imagine...)

Do you have a side pic of your truck? I would like to see your wheels. My 69 is almost identical to yours minus the upper body trim. Could looking ride. Here in TX it was 70 today!!!!

They're Alcoa aluminums. I guess they don't make that style anymore but I've seen some on Ebay.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!

Nasty day around here today. Yesterday was beautiful, but a bad day for the wrenching. As I was installing and trying to adjust the linkage on the T350,
I found out the steering column I'd painted and otherwise massaged is full of enough slop as to not let "Park" be "Park"....

I was able to make a radio block off for the newly painted dash. I made it out of a radio...I just applied a liberal amount of grinder with a cut-off blade and
a half a garbage can worth of '68 radio internals. I'm thinking about making a little plaque that will match the ignition indicator. It will say, "This Radio Does Not Work".

Even though it was a nice weather day yesterday that, by the end of the day had me pissed at more need for part$ I didn't count on (what's new about that?),
today working in the the nasty weather day yielded some good results. Adjusted the ECE adjustable pan hard bar (I have about 3/8" equally between the inside of the wheel tub and the tires riding on 20 x 10's),
and tightened down the rest of the rear suspension parts.

Installed the rear roll pan, and mounted the passenger door.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!

I took both doors apart, replaced one door handle, I was going to replace window regulator but decided not yet because I need to get new weather trim first, Pulled both door locks out, I am going to either get new ones or get these re-keyed. Installed new window visors. Took her for a ride, on the freeway, I need to get her timed, she was making a poping noise when I pushed in gas peddle when I was at around 65 mph. I bought a compression tester and timing light, I was going to do the checks but my lady needed me, so I will continue next weekend.
