Working on a set of custom tail light brackets for my step side. So that the wires will run inside them. It was raining so I could not finish installing the bed wood.

Added braided brake lines from INLINE TUBE last night.

Drove around and fine tuned stuff, Found the clutch fork return spring missing and damn it, may have to replace the old Harrison radiator after all.
;)

But all in all, not a bad ride! :lol:

I cleaned the old 6 banger to try and determine where all the oil leaks are. This exposed some casting numbers which after consulting the database on here, told me this isn't a 230 like I thought, it's in fact a 250 produced from 68 to 84. Holy crap, learn something new every day!

Last night I installed the front bumper after painting. My truck was black with gray scallops but I've given her a makeover. I may add red scallops.

Re: What did you do to your truck today part III
 

Reversed my rear bumper, will have to see if it grows on me. I do like the nice straight line on top now.

I was impressed by the fit and bolt hole locations on the bed from Mar K for my '56!;)

Re: What did you do to your truck today part III
 

Took my '56 out of the garage so I could see how the 1.5 inch drop springs and 2in drop spindles look, also decided to sweep the floor before I put back inside!

Well, I tried to install my rear back window but I, apparently, am an idiot. Couldn't get past the corners without tearing the seal, which I did. Going to have the local glass shop. They did a great job on my windshield.

built new throttle linkage from the stock pedal mechanism to the Rochester Quadrajet. Ended up being really simple which was nice for my first engine swap

Re: What did you do to your truck today part III
 

Make sure you are getting full throttle. I had the same set up and could not get full throttle out of it.

I decided to add some color to the firewall while I'm doing my LS swap.

It needs one more coat to make it look even all the way across but I ran out of the paint that I was using, I pick up some more on the way home. Should be able to get another coat on in the 24 hour recoat window.

Replaced the shocks...too soon?

Re: What did you do to your truck today part III
 

Too soon. You could have driven another 1/4 mile on those.
