Yes, Amazon for me too. I've ordered many for all of the hoses, including the main upper and lower radiator. They are actually pretty reasonable. I made sure to measure the smaller hoses to get the right millimeter range - the first ones were too small. Most of them I also polished up a bit on the buffing wheel

I didn't do all this today. It took me a few weeks but I finally got these wheels on the truck. I bought an old set of f@>d wheels and had them powdercoated(cosmic white metallic). I took the truck to the wheel shop and had some firestones mounted and ballenced. Brought the truck home and slapped these hubcaps on. I'm calling it good for a little while

Rims and tires always make a big difference.

What do you think of the silicone hoses? Did you switch the radiator hoses as well or just the heater hoses?

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
 

Looks great. I too swaitch mine to led's and I have that steering wheel too. I switched my park, backup, and turn/brake lights to led's. They are real bright

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
 

I'm glad you called me on this, because in my research I assumed it had the silicone component - actually, EDPM rubber. As opposed to other hoses I had, it has a rubbery feel, (not smooth like the Goodyear Hose) - seems to be much better quality and sealing better.

Cool thanks for the info I appreciate it

Tried the Eastwood brake line flairing tool for the first time to make a gas line for the 68 . Worked very well just need to get a holder clamp for the line so it doesn’t vibrate to much . I tried to replicate the oem as best I could but since I added an in-line it’s not factory correct

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
 

Nice work!
+1 for the Eastwood flaring kit. As a certified tool junkie, I don't mind paying extra for something that gives quality results and makes the job easier.

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
 

X2 for the Eastwood Flaring tool. I use mine making up brake and fuel line. Flares come out looking machine made.

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
 

I bought it last year at the Carlisle truck show . Blew a line from the master to the block on the crossmember . Couldn’t get a line with the same fittings . So I bought a roll and used the old nuts . I bought a cheap flairing tool at Napa but then I went to the Eastwood booth and the guy bent and flaired the line for me . After I did one double flair I bought the tool

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
 

x3 on this tool....

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
 

Drove it........ to the Dollar Store.

New bumper came today did a test fit prior to painting it. The fit is ok not factory but not terrible I did have to shim the brackets to make it somewhat acceptable . Don’t like the gap on the ends to the grill but if I pull it in the bumper hits the fender on both sides . Right side fits better than the left. Pretty much the way the bumper stamped is off . Ordered it from Jegs It’s a Golden Star brand most likely a rebrand

Heater core project done. The cables got lubed and now are very smooth. Test drove, no leaks or coolant smell. New blower motor works great. Was happy with the core. Did not have to fight with the "bales" or customize in any way. ;)

E Brake done finally

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
 

Made some more progress on my bucket seat swap. Im waiting on some hog ring pliers I ordered, but got the covers onto the foam and all tied down. Also doing a little final fitment of the frames and the homemade risers to be all done with those so once I get the covers hog ringed on, they can go in for the final time.

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
 

that's going to be sweet
