Re: What did you do to your truck today!
Went to visit my truck at the body shop. It's been gone for 2 months now and I'm going crazy! I didn't have time to really tune it before getting it running and taking it to the shop. At 31 seconds you can hear the cam but the idle is a little slow. I pulled the PS belt off just before dropping it off. Makes for fun in tight spaces.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
I did some cleanup work on the camper to/cap, collected the new timber from the wood yard for it (bottom rails that it sits on are rotten) and then got dragged into gardening. That said I've been cleaning up under my new tarp garage that the truck will live in as soon as the cap is repaired, cleaned up the weeds between the 200 odd year old cobbles in there so it should be a bit dryer and cleaner.

Then I'm ordering a new battery and starter. |

I put a "new" to me glove box in my 67, it was one of two that came with the 70 GMC 'burb we just hauled home. Started taking out the 4 speed in the burb to put into my 67. No I didn't take pics LOL.

I installed a ECE hidden hitch setup on my 71. My 8 year old son was the perfect assistant to get the job done. It took a few hours to get the holes drilled but it turned out really cool.
