What did you do to your non g-body project today [2025 edition]

[joesregalproject]

Replaced the A/C compressor in my little Honda with a Chynuh unit from eBay. Looks like it was reverse-manufactured from an original because it has the exact same casting marks as the original compressor. It was fairly easy to access and install. A/C is now blowing nice and cold.

Keep throwing parts at that truck and it’s gonna look like new before long…

New bed all patched up. Just doused it in Ospho. I like that stuff.

Looks like new bed is not a stepside bed? That will be a massive improvement… both aesthetically and functionally. I hated the stepside bed on my GMT400.

Those GMT400 stepside beds were all the rage for '67-72 C10s for about 15 minutes back in 1996.

Those GMT400 stepside beds were all the rage for '67-72 C10s for about 15 minutes back in 1996 for 13 people.

Fixed.

13 people that got their trucks featured in magazines.


My Gen-X is showing, isn't it?

Ospho'd, primed, painted rusty areas. Whole thing will be undercoated before it goes on.
Also, no wheel arch rust. Wheel wells solid too.
Yes edges are a lil crispy and folded like a good potato chip, but that's entirely fixable.

Towed it to a more useful parking spot now that the snow is 99% gone and the ground is dryish.

That was a good 15,000# behind a 5,500# truck. Speeds did not exceed 40mph, too much hanging off the back of that trailer for highway speeds. But for the quick 5 mile jaunt the truck climbed the hill just fine and was not sketchy at all which was a surprise. After 3 hours of unloading I ran the tow unit out for a new windshield, came back to the property, and backed up a bunch of trees I'd fallen back in September. Time to stack them out of the way and dig a basement hole. And now I have a place to take a break.
