Great score on the C 30 Sway Bar and it even came with Poly bushings - that's pretty hard to beat.

yeah... I got a nice tow hitch with the sway bar for 44 bucks and change.....

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Yes, I would say you definately scored BIG time!

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Over the past month I had to rebuild the top end of the "professionally" build SB 357 motor I installed in August of 2010. Had nothing but problems with this from the first week out. Did not want them touching it again so. I did all the work myself - for the first time.... Just found out that the shop that built my motor is out of business.....

Had to swap heads: now running GM 185 head w/t 2.02/1.60 valves, Edelbrock RPM 7102 cam and lifters: .488/.510 lift. Running Performer intake and carb for now. Motor still looks the same as last year but runs so much better! Also running 17" Brockman steel packed mufflers. Sounds damn good. Here's a lil vid of the exhaust note before the top end rebuild:

Now maybe I can get on the front suspension. Rear was bagged this past June

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Didn't turn any wrenches but I did order the No Limit shock relocation kit and shocks. Time to get ready to work as soon as the new stuff arrives. I want the panhard bar from No Limit next.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

@Greg, Please provide details on the relo kit. I need rear set up for my rig.
What did you pay and any contact info for them. Thanks!!!

Here is the thread that outlines the kit, one of our fellow forum members has done the install with good results. I am looking forward to getting the parts and will shoot some photos along the way during the install.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Well..........on tuesday i got to adjusting my doors so they wouldn't rattle anymore as im going down the freeway. It get's a little tiring pushing down on the door to keep her quiet. Problem solved, except that now that the rattles are gone, i noticed it had an annoying exhaust leak when i drove to and from work. Got underneath last night and noticed a nut missing on my passenger side manifold to exhaust pipe flange retainer(that the name?) the other two were loose. Damn muffler man! Proceeded to put on a replavement nut and tightened the other two but still leaked :( Today i picked up a new flange gasket installed it and problem solved. But now i hear a squeak in my suspension.:(

Might be better to just invest in some ear plugs.... :lol:

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Or just play my music loud enough to drown out the squeak!:)

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Pretty crappy rainy day out today and I'm still waiting for my son and his friends to come help me lift off my cab (hoping this weekend) so I decided to work on my steering wheel. I stripped off all the repainted white and most of the original red and sanded it smooth. picked up som PC-7 at Ace Hardware and I will start patching the 3 cracks in it tomorrow. Here are pics of the before and current condition. The 3rd pic is an idea I'm considering for the horn center. It's stainless and I will repaint parts of it and leave some polished.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Bought a bottle jack and used it to spread the bent frame horn out and bolted the front bumper all the way on. And then put the bottle jack in the 73' v.w bug i just got for the girlfriend.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

No kidding on the weather update...

The wheel looks great, hall.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Thanks A.T. I was getting spoiled with the good weather in Sept. I guess I shouldn't complain, it is Oregon, but there were things that I still needed to get done.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

You cannot put a gmc grille in a chevrolet.......thats a rule I think ? cannot find it in the book just yet, but that is just is not right..... gmcs' are unique and everyone says they are ugly compared to a chevrolet .............ha ha Kieth

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

i think you did a great job on your wheel,and personally i think you should use the horn button,it's cool!

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Pdxhall what year is the horn button looks like it might be 40ish? That's retro and cool looking....Vernski:lol:

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Rolled her out and blew all the dust out of the garage with a backpack blower.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

I believe it's a '42 but don't quote me. I picked it up off ebay for $10. Couldn't resist.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

That's great!:jest: That's exactly what I use my leaf blower for.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Thats the quick and easy way of getting the dust out of the shop. and I dont have to wait on the compresser to build up pressure :lol::metal:

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Losthope '"bought a bottle jack and used it to spread the bent frame horn out....."

When I first read your post I thought you said you a bought bottle of Jack and used it to spread the bent frame horn out.

I said to myself wow serious proof......

:metal:

Re: What did you do to your truck today?

Re: What did you do to your truck today?

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

You guys are in the wrong part of the state, worked outside all week and it was 70 and sunny.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Ya the weather here is terrible, 78 degrees and sunny, with a lite breeze..;)

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Yes you can put a GMC grille on a Chevrolet, There are no rules in hotrodding, just ask Chip Foose. At least I didn't put whole bunch of door knobs on it! Just kidding Losthope, your grille looks awesome!

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Went for a ride... up in the hills for a little picnic. Nice!

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
