Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter

Finished installing the drivers door glass and new seals. Also installed new cab mounts. I didn’t realize they had gotten this bad. The cab sits up so much better the body lines up with the bed much better.

Thanks for the comments. I may have went too far on the wood. Probably should have just painted it but I can always do that at some point.

I'll holler at you sometime to see if you got time for lunch or something.
Sure. I've got lots of time.

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter

Not much to report. Loads on minor jobs knocked out. Drove it into town just to give it’s a shakedown. Overall a happy guy with the new cab mounts. Next adventure is getting the bed work done so I can install the side trim.

Thanks. I’m trying to keep it clean. I installed the condenser kit from vintage air and was thinking about installing a under dash kit I have from my suburban but I ordered the vintage air kit. Who knows when I will get it 😄 I already installed the dash vents for it. It’s funny to think I was only setting out to make my work truck a bit nicer and now it’s looking a bit flashy.

Mine is a 67 chevelle wheel and I popped the truck horn button on it. I have done this on a few of my trucks. Works perfectly.

Coming along slowly, but I am making progress. Got front disc brake conversion almost completed and fitting rear wheels. Still a long way to go before I drive down the road!

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter

Started assembling the short fleet bed kit. Fit together really good. Had to oblong a few holes. Will get to the tailgate in a few days. One picture of the truck with the stepside bed.
