Re: What did you do to your truck today part III
Still have to bolt the bed down but we got it sitting on the frame so I snapped a few pics. This is the first time the truck has been somewhat together since the paint job. Just have to do the final fitments bolt down. Keep in mind that the bed still needs to be moved forward some and placed in the correct location. We just sat it on there to get it facing the right way in the shop. We took it apart with the nose facing inward and we ended up trapping the truck in the shop when we took everything apart. We cleaned up a little and got the truck facing the correct way so we could finish working on the bed using the lift and still get the rest of the truck in and out of the shop, if that makes any sense to yall.

Finally got the steering connected up after more than half a dozen trips to parts store to try to get tie rods to work. Ended up with custom tie rod adjuster sleeves from DCA Racing to connect 5/8 outer to 11/16 inner. Such a relief to have this behind us.

Now that the days are shorter, plus I hate driving at night in the rain, I installed a pair of driving lights. Now you'll see me coming from miles away ... and I'll see you, too.

I meant to take a pic with the old truck all loaded down, but forgot. Anyway, me and my wife took it to Home Depot (about an hour drive) and loaded it up with a 4' vanity, mirror, 15 gallons of paint, shop lights, faucet and other random little things. Put the old truck to work today haha. Did stop for ice cream on the way home. Oh yea, and loaded it down with groceries too! Beautiful day to be driving an old chevy!

took her out for a nice cruise and it drove really smooth but firm in the corners
very solid no squeaks or rattles just the sound of the motor |

Keeping with my cheap paint so I can use it as a truck, I finally painted inside the bed.
