Well crustine got a new windshield yesterday, but I didn't get pictures until today. haha. I'm liking that little bit a tint on the top.

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

Bought myself another set of wheels for my '64 short bed step side today. Original 16" wheels and hubcaps with just the right amount of Patina to match my truck. They need tyres as the old cross-plys are well passed their best.
What size modern tyres are you guys running on these wheels on your trucks?

I did not actually do anything, but I got home from a business trip and received a package from TBONE1964, a member here who has a business called Classic Gauge and Cluster (support@classicgaugeandcluster.com). Wish the rest of my 62 looked this good.

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

Hope my future wife doesn't do that!!! haha!

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

oh man sorry bro, who was the chick that trashed it scorned "ex" girlfriend?

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

Not actually to the truck, but went and picked up a 350 short block ,4 bolt main bored 40 over that only had 10,000 miles on the rebuild. Pro put a solid lift can in it and didn't know how to adjust properly and ruined the cam. Of course it will go to the machine shop for cleaning and checked thoroughly, honed, cam bearings,freeze plugs and back with new rings and bearings. At least I found a good foundation.

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

Don't got a girl friend. lol Never have yet. Nah, it was cracked when I bought the truck. You could barely make it out in the pictures but it was a huge spider web crack. Got tired of it and I didn't want the law after me so I got it repaired...if I even do get a girl friend I'm sure she'll be happier with the new wind shield to. haha!

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

Girlfriends cost more than old truck . . . . .
Old trucks are harder to find than girlfriends . . . .
You will cry less if your girlfriend leaves you than if you have to say goodbye to your old truck . . . .

The list goes on and on . . .

I'll let some of the other members post why trucks are better than girlfriends.

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

Old trucks want cheat on ya but they sure will make you spend your money.

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

Old trucks go where you want them too without complaining.

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

You can loan your friend your truck. ;)

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

old trucks don't care takes if another guy takes em for a night out on the town, and you wont get jealous!!!

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

no way.. :lol:

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

You can work on your friend's truck, and your truck won't complain.

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

That's a great looking cover! Could you be commissioned to make another by chance?

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

Actually when I work on a friend's truck my truck does complain......gives me quite an attitude to. Heck, When I was working on my 66 and needed crustine to move some parts she broke down! Quit working on my 66 and gave crustine some attention and then she ran fine again. lol Then today she decided to act up again...."More food" she cried, so I fed her more(turned out the jets another turn and a 1/4! LOL!) Well she's never ran better! haha! Needs a good carb kit though...the accelerator pump is shot and the carb if filled with cats and dogs no doubt. lol Good ol :gmc2:
