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

Finished removing the doors from the Stahl utility body on my '66. Tomorrow they go for sandblasting, then the fun starts of fixing/replacing the rusted out areas. This one is not bad but some are a bit worse for the wear.

Sprayed the firewall and frame with Raptor bed liner. Looks great and easy to spray.

Drug this '64 out from it's resting place for the last 16 years. Amazingly enough, the tires were still aired up! I'll have it home this weekend.

Bottom of the cab in two coats of rust tough primer for temporary. Tomorrow the epoxy goes on. :metal:

New seat belts and old seat. She is now ready to drive on the street after over a year.

reconnected my heater, general de-greasing and crud removal of the block, valve cover and side cover gasket replacement, cleaned up the ignition wires, and polished the air filter cover on the weber.

That Raptor Liner looks good! I read good reviews on their product, but haven't gotten around to spraying the underside of my cab yet...and I've never seen any pictures of it in use.

Been getting everything pulled out of the dash and off the firewall. Now to start replacing sheet metal. Lots of work ahead.

Something a little different.

Why not me??? 50MPH on the straights? I'd have given them a real show! :lol:

Neat.

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

Yeah, the lap didn't include the long front straight, so I didn't have to worry about cooking the brakes in Big Bend. That being said, with the rudimentary safety equipment (old lap belts and not much else) I wasn't motivated to push it.

Got the timing right and tested the overdrive trans to see if it works.

LED lights in my shifter knob

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

Finally got time to get the glove box back together with a new insert.

Broke down and pulled off the back bumper. I realized the lights "issue" could likely be replaced with ATV or motorcycle lights. I'm going to work on finding them.

Also, needed the bumper off to pound out a dent in order for the rear driver wheel to have more clearance as well as attempt to get the top bolt off the rear shock. It has been "stubborn" so far.

Got my bedside stripes and letters hand painted today. Local sign shop painted them for me. They are metallic silver

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

Not today but Monday, pulled it out of its resting place for the last 9 years and brought home.
Bought it as a non runner, but got it running Wednesday evening.

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

Was finally able to get the cab off to do some rust repair today. I put some new cab supports in also. It's not much but it sure feels good to get some new parts welded in.

Figured out that the aftermarket AM radio that was in the old truck when I got it actually works. It's so old, it was made in Japan, not China. :lol:

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

I took the truck out for it's maiden voyage (sense it was painted). I have not driven it for over a year and a half. The doors rattled like crazy but I think that is because the whether stripping is falling off. The inside door handle also fell of but that is not a big deal.

Sorry no pictures.

Figured out that Chevy designed the side mount spare to be movable depending on what access was needed to the bed. So I'm putting it back to where the spare fits in the indent on the fender.

Got that old box setup out of the bed. The thing is steel and heavy. Had to use my motorcycle jack to get that crap out of there.

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

Man, I like that breather you have on there. Do you mind if I ask what it is and where you got it?

Also, it looks like you have a hydraulic clutch set up like my '60 GMC...what part did you use to set up your brakes and clutch?

Thanks!

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