Oil / oil filter change and lubed the front end.

Then I proceeded to run out of grease in the grease tube without a spare tube.

whoops.

Finally got a set of headers that fit good, did not have to trim the frame. This was set 3 as the first set of Hedman's wouldnt work with the motor moved to the forward hole, I also tried some patriot shorties, those were close but hit the CPP mounts

jbgroby · 02-12-2012, 12:31 AM

Mounthed the front clip.

Turkey · 02-12-2012, 01:30 AM

cleaned up some areas and reinstalled my speakers 'cause I found my VH Diver Down cassette. Classic tunes for "parts" running this afternoon.

Installed a new retro radio and kick panels with speakers.

64c20crewcab · 02-17-2012, 11:20 AM

I did full rear brake job on my 64 C20 Crew Cab using 1980 K20 front rotors, calipers and lines. Did the swap in 06 and 1 caliper locked up last weekend so i swapped all out yesterday. The mounting brackets are for a 14bolt disc conversion and work on the Eaton H052 / H072. From Great Lakes Offroad...

Tell some details on those kick panels w/speakers! They look great - how do they sound?

As for me, I picked up a new bed and tailgate from Craigslist and pulled out my radiator and heater core. Taking them to the radiator shop....got most of the front end disassembled.

They sound ok. Just running deck power now so cant really say for sure until I get an amp. Also the speakers are pretty low, so its a good idea to also run a speaker or pair of speakers in the factory dash to balance the sound.

**joedoh** · 02-17-2012, 11:33 PM

tried to get an alignment and ran into low truck prejudice.

"wont work on that its lowered"

actually its channeled so its really only 2 inches or so lower than stock.

"nope"

so tomorrow I get to find a new alignment shop.

Twiztid_66c10 · 02-18-2012, 12:08 AM

just ordered my dom 2600's for the front. got my sectioned cross member paid for. Ordered a running 350 to replace my old 6 from a local wrecking yard they will deliver it thurs. also ordered my new wiring harness from speed way. so a pretty productive day!

62-One-Ton · 02-18-2012, 04:22 AM

Do you have pictures of the armrest/door pulls and the spring loaded glove box?

66-PMD-GMC · 02-18-2012, 10:54 AM

What I did yesterday was mock up a front end on my 71 frame that I am converting to take a 63-66 cab and front end.
Today, I am taking the front clip and cab back off, hopefully get the nose of the 63-66 frame horns grafted to to the 71 frame, pulling the suspension, again, and cleaning everything up to be ready for paint.

mrfixit4818 · 02-18-2012, 06:09 PM
