What did you do to your truck today??

[oldmanturbo]

painted front end parts bumper - grille - filler prepped inner fender for paint got fog lamp kit ready for install very good day

[JetForceF22]

Starnil 40 watt per bulb led 7200 lumen headlights.

[Cape Codder]

Nice, just don't follow me at night. But seriously when upgrading your headlights check the alignment as they can be blinding to others.

I finally got the 2" lift blocks mounted in the back, finishing off the 4" lift kit. I also found a dirt cheap topper to run in the winter…

[no2tracks]

New rotor, cap, plugs, wires, and distributor. Turns out all those were original with 158,000 miles. New starter and battery too. The antifreeze got replaced when the bypass hose blew. Ready for winter!

[jasonroman]

purchased a 91 short bed!!!!!

[flashed]

And what does it look like ,what are your plans ?

[jasonroman]

ill have to get some pic to put up.
plan to love her, keep her, fix the broken driver side window if if find out whats wrong with it.
lowered already which is a plus. missed my 94 short bed. got lucky and found a 91 shorty.
94 was blue. this ones reddish.

[91z71]

Replaced my door ajar switch on my 91 sierra 1500, the old one was WORE OUT. It wouldn't even turn the lights off and the new one is significantly more tactile. Now, I'm waiting for the passenger side to go out.

Not much goes wrong anymore, really need to invest on getting my rear sliding window sealed up, all the seals have dry rotted and I've been using RTV to keep it from rattling. haha

Picked up a decent frame for my 1994 Chev ext cab shortbox 2WD. It came off a low mileage(47K) 1998 that had a dash fire that ruined the cab. Friend of mine bought it for the 5.7 engine and the mint box and I got the rolling chassis from him for cheap. Frame is really rusty on my truck and this one only started to show some color after I power washed it. Once I get it pickled in POR-15 it should even outlast me LOL. That hunk of rust in front of the rear wheel is the spare tire carrier that fell off my truck a few months ago so you can imagine what the rest of my truck's frame looks like.

installed an under hood factory storage box, factory retractable work light. working on the air horn mod from a Grumman's 5.7 vortec.

[VOLZ1207]

i just picked this 98 GMC up this weekend. belltech spindles and c-notch. i'll be changing out the 265's in rear for sure. they are way to big. probably go to a 235/75/15 on the 8" rears since the front has 225/75/15 on 7" fronts. i think that will give it a better, more level stance.
roll pan rear with hidden receiver.

[flashed]

1207 ,that looks nice .

[Cape Codder]

Very nice, I like the wheels. I am old school and like the 15" rims better than the big wheel little tire.

[Dalaigh]

Picked up a set of brand new take off General Grabber APT's for $600, going on the true as soon as this white Shlt goes away...

[VOLZ1207]

thanks guys!! got a set of 235/75r15 put on the rear. took dash out and replaced a burned out check engine light. failed emissions due to that and a p0420 code. cleared code out and drove it maybe 10 miles and probably 12 start/run/shut off cycles trying to get computer to reset. no check engine light as of yet.

[bopper_702]

Test fitted my new to me wheels.
Of course needs a drop
And slightly bigger tires
But day dreaming of seeing that come already lol

[VOLZ1207]

new catalytic converter, cleaned mas, passed emissions, got new tags !! 4.3 200k+

[MaritimeDragRacing]

Heard a snap this AM when I backed the truck out of the yard and now the body lines don't match up any more. Officially off the road now until I can get the frame swapped. Fortunately we have an identical low mileage frame in really good shape. Lots of work but well worth the effort.

[54 jimmy]

e3 plugs, summit performance coil and put mags on for the summer with a used set of 265 70 r17 goodyear dura tracs. scored the tires for $140.00 for 5 tires.

[MaritimeDragRacing]

Replacement frame is in the garage and ready for wire brushing and paint. Big job swapping frames but the end result is worth the effort.



A quick test with a wire wheel in the cordless drill on a small section found black paint underneath all the mud and crud which sort of changes my plans for the choice of paint. I've been told POR-15 won't stick to painted surfaces so I'll have to go with good old Tremclad or Rustoleum.

[Cape Codder]

I have had no luck getting POR 15 to stick to anything except rust or sandblasted metal. I would us an oil rich paint such as rustoleum . It takes days to dry though. I have done many frame swaps over the years, pull the cab and bed,then motor /trans set both frames next to each other and switch things over.Don't put the motor back till all brake and fuel lines are in. Suspension parts are easier to switch with the motor in for the weight.

[dragginmetal]

Been fixing wiring for a week. PO hacked it up, and tried to fix it with duct tape. I'm fixing all the breaks by twisted, crimped, soldered, heat shrieked, and all new flex loom.

[Aarron]

Getting ready to replace dash harness and maybe swap to a newer style dash if I can find a good write up

[Cape Codder]

I bought a complete running 96 W/T 4.3 5 speed for parts. Pretty clean truck but the frame is rotted out bad. I will be taking the the new wheels and tires for mine as well as the hood,tailgate and sliding rear window for now.
