Re: What did you do with your truck today, Part 3
Been doing final body work so I can shoot the blocking primer (again). Last night while removing back fender it got away from me and I dropped in on the only part of the spear that I had not had to work on. Could have cried, getting that crease right has been a major hassle, now I get to do it some more.

Re: What did you do with your truck today, Part 3
Bought it ,a 1959, So now my 58 step side will have a sibling rivalry. Had to just put it in storage for the time being, till I get the 58 on the road. Plus ,with storage fees at $160 mo. , a little motivation to get the 58 legal, City code inspector would be like a kid in a candy store if he saw two of them sitting in the driveway.

Re: What did you do with your truck today, Part 3
Today I made a 100-mile round trip hauling a half-ton load of concrete mix. Squatted the suspension down pretty good.

Re: What did you do with your truck today, Part 3
Made some seat brackets for my 1957. I have the seats from my 1995 Chevy Blazer that has a rod knock and I will be installing them into my truck. I installed gussets on the brackets for strength and so most any seat can be installed.

Re: What did you do with your truck today, Part 3
Went to the swap meet in our home town of Monroe, wa bought a really good shape tail gate for my 1958 GMC stepside truck for 85 bucks and bought some COE headlights that are like new for 50 bucks don't know why but I did. Oh almost forgot then I picked up a complete rolling napco frame with tranny and the case with spare front end and rear end for 1200 buck

Re: What did you do with your truck today, Part 3
Met my daughter at the Riverside airport cafe for lunch today. Drove my pickup for the first long drive after the clutch refresh and trans rebuild. The new valve covers are fantastic, the engine is dry as a bone underneath. I had no idea the old chrome ones were leaking so much. I thought it was the rear main seal puking out all the oil! On the way back up Arlington Ave, a truck that I didn't see was coming down the hill and revved his engine at me. I got a glimpse of his truck in my rearview mirror, I think it was a lowered yellow and tan 69-76 chevy truck. Engine sounded like it was way bad! Maybe it was someone on this board? Fun day!
