Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
I might do alittle more grinding, the radius on my end caps don't match the radius of the 1/4 wall tube.

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
Started the headache rack today, I went with a rounded look by making 8 bandsaw cuts about a 1/4" apart to bend the tube, then welded the cuts and ground them out.

Worked on Running boards and lower rear fender. Getting better, glad I went all steel for the rear fenders.

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
Did nothing today on my truck. But as I was cruising through Austin, Nevada, saw a very nice 68 C30 Dumptruck sitting along the freeway for sale. Thought about turning around and checking it out. But, I had 6 hours to go in order to get home and already short on time. Next time, I'll stop.

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
Wasn't today but I figured that I would post anyways. I installed a seat from a late 60's international into the truck. The original frame would not work so I made one. See thread here. http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=658511 I also fixed a whole lot of wiring issues in the truck. I just want to says one thing to everyone out there. Please make sure you are careful when you are wiring things up especially when it is not like the factory design. I found a lot of things that just scared me today. The scariest was a wire straight to the battery that ran up under the dash to a standalone switch w/ no fuse to power the starter solenoid.  Stay safe and happy wrenching.

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
I installed new plugs, made-up a set of wires, replaced the dizzy cap and rotor. I cleaned-up the engine compartment, taped some wires and replaced the vac hose to the vac advance. Did the nascar zip tie thing on the wires and tucked them behind the headers. Looks cleaner.
