What have you done to your truck today?

I stole this thread idea from the 1987 - 1996 F150 & Larger F-Series Trucks. I've been there lately trying to fix some items on my 1988 F-150.

Nothing major, but today I installed new clutch and brake pedals. (I'm looking to replace my steering wheel sometime soon.)

Does this count? Painted bed, inner fenders and radiator support yesterday. Put the new side boards this morning.

Now if I can finish the rest.

Before.

Sure it counts!
Looking Good!
Is that the cab in the background of the "after" photo?

That is the original cab. If you can see it, the back of top was crushed by rocks or something in previous life. Here is bad pic of new cab. Only need to sand blast and paint hood and fenders, swap out transmission, get carburetor issue resolved and put everything together.

New cab, doors painted.
