What did you do to your truck today! - Page 326 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

ksshane · 10-11-2013, 10:22 PM

Wired up my electric choke and dialed in my carb.

magwakeenercew2jh · 10-11-2013, 10:34 PM

Finally got the cover fiasco (sizing issues) cleared up with carscover.com.

Nice folks. And they stood tall.

So, if you need an outdoor/fleece lined cover and can't get it from a Forum Vendor, the "Ultrashield" (100% rainproof - claimed...jury's out until it pours) you want
for a short bed is Product Code 101VLH4AM, regardless of what their make/model matrix wants you to order.

I put it on today. It was bucks-up for me at about $175 shipped. Less than the $500 custom-fit Calcarcover I have had before. But still big dough for me. Fit great
(no mirror pockets - I use oven gloves over the leading edges of the mirrors) Belt-Strap under the center. Elastic front and back. Looks high quality.

Anyone wants a pic or two, speak up.

First and foremost, I go with the supporting Forum Vendors. But I didn't get any response as to rainproof/outdoor guarantees, so I went with that one from www.carscover.com

I got the truck up on Jack Stands, pulled the front tires, and orders all my front brake parts. The parts will be in by noon tomorrow so as weather is begining to come in on us, I plan on doing a front brake job. Going to replace everything from rubber hoses out to the drums. I am not replacing drums as they are still in good shape. Looking forward tomorrow.

DWilbur · 10-11-2013, 10:55 PM

I cut out Rot in preperation to install new Apillar.

Patina'd_402 · 10-11-2013, 11:09 PM

Fixed a Gauge issue, installed the chrome pulleys that showed up, and stared at the truck.

68'CTown · 10-12-2013, 01:02 AM

I was deciding on whether or not to add a console to my truck and googling pictures thats had custom console but this weekend will be finishing up welding my rocker panels in and patching in some holes that I am filling in.

sbell87 · 10-12-2013, 08:22 AM

Oh yea I'm keeping it.. I love it. May even put a 22" steelie on it also.

slowcpe · 10-12-2013, 08:46 AM

Starting disassembly mode. The build is officially beginning.

legotech7 · 10-12-2013, 10:20 AM

A little pricey. Beautiful truck. Thanks for the measurements...

dirtyjim · 10-12-2013, 04:11 PM

She has bags but with that nice frontend and beautiful rack she is a beauty, sound weird or what

Very nice setup, should perform really good too.

MACKL · 10-13-2013, 07:45 AM

Washed the girl so I can drive her to church! We both will be better for it.

Removed my 3speed trans to replace it with one that works .

kxmotox247 · 10-13-2013, 10:51 PM

Fitted sheetmetal all weekend. Wrestled the hood all afternoon mostly due to a mix of OEM and aftermarket parts.

Ridgeclimber · 10-13-2013, 11:06 PM

I finally started my winter project. Cut out the cab corner, outer rocker panel, the lower door pillar and the cab kick panel area. Just have to get a couple more patch panel and it will be going back together. Then start the left side. It turned out to be about a six beer job so far.

legotech7 · 10-14-2013, 09:25 AM

Good deal Ridgeclimber, Do us all novices a favor and document how your doing this with pics if possible. I'm sure we can all learn from your experience. I will be doing this soon on mine....
Thanks legotech7.....

kxmotox247 · 10-14-2013, 10:23 AM

Yeah! What he said! I'm getting ready to put rockers and a cab corner in too.

**Mike_The_Grad** · 10-14-2013, 02:04 PM
