Re: What did you do to your truck today!
Test fitted my driver floor patch again after reforming the flange to the firewall. Sanded/ground/blasted the offending junk underneath the floor patch. Cleaned up the garage to park the wifes car inside incase there is some hail tonight. Hopefully no tornadoes in our city!!
PS looks nice bug!

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
I finished up with the new U joints the other day and have been driving it pretty regularly, actually daily LOL. I'm really pleased with the swap to the 4 speed and have probably ran the old truck a little harder than I should. I stopped to fill up last night at a gas station that was still 3.689 a gal before it jumped to 3.999 and checked my mileage. First fill up since transmission swap and new clutch, it went from 11.6 to 13.3. I'm hoping to get it in the 14-15 mpg range if I can keep my foot out of it! I know not much of an update, but the mileage gain really made me happy!

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
Stared at her for inspiration and then looked here for inspiration .... got some and I swear I will do something next year when it is not so HOT! For now I will put her together and enjoy my beast, (and launch my boat).

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
Bled the brakes after replacing the right rear wheel cylinder. Then took a test drive to the hardware store. Stopped at Ace first but couldn't find what I needed. Spent 10 minutes in the parking lot answering questions about my truck from a guy in a Jeep. Went to True Value and found what I needed. Spent 10 more minutes in the parking lot showing my truck to a guy getting out of a F#*d truck. I love my truck.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
That is the kind of day most of us are waiting for when the build is so far along that it is lookin good and the questions come from all over, a few more months for me. Our area car show is the end of June, shooting for that.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
I have been driving my Bagged C10 everywhere, and its the Same story for me. People love it...ask questions. Yesterday, I was doing a photoshoot with some models, and waitin for them to change clothes at a Target. While I waited, a young lady and her dad stopped by and asked permission to take pics of my truck. They loved it, and asked the usual questions: what color am I painting it (if at all), how do I Drive s o low, how much horsepower do I have, etc. Then there are the driving thumbs up. I love my truck

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
Drove the '69 home on Thursday eve... could not get out of low gear in the TH400. Made it to the house with law enforcement behind me. Realized on Fri that the hose had disconnected from the modulator. No ticket-
Finally got the deluxe heater removed from the '66 on Sat. Found the 20 year supply of mouse bedding in the fan area... will prob get 1 more MPG this summer with the extra 20 pounds removed.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
I feel like I got a lot done today. I finished bending up my trans cooler lines...what a pain in the a$$. Spent way more time planning than bending, all the planning paid off though. I got my A/C lines figured out finally. Just a couple of hundred more dollars on fittings and I should be ready to charge the system with freon. Got my radiator hoses put on. I got to thinking...a few fluids and a battery and I could start this bad boy up. Maybe next weekend.

Acquired some used tires to slap on my 10" wide rims to see how they work and look.
