Re: Re : What did you do to your truck today!
Thanks, my 70 CST engine was orange and this one I wanted something different. I feel that for sound deadening every little bit helps.

Gave my truck a new face...so to speak. Yes, I know the bumper is for a GMC. A friend of mine gave me two brand new bumpers, one front and one rear. The front one happened to be for a GMC. I wanted to see how a new bumper would look with the new front grill.
Drove it around a little (open headers), did a little burn-out...it was GREAT! |
Re: What did you do to your truck today!
drove my '70 for about 4 hours straight to pick up a 250cc scooter for my ungrateful sister and added a quart of oil to it to keep her happy running down the highway at 65mph

Here are a few different angle shots of testing and freeze plug failure.... and what it could look like for you if you don't change them when the motor is out....I won't put up a "before" picture. The motor was in there snug as a bug in a rug. At least until until the pi$$%ng contest started at the first start-up and freeze plug puke.
That's Butch doing most of the good work. |
Re: What did you do to your truck today!
I ordered me a Painless 18 fuse wiring harness from Streetside Auto, and perchs, a "deluxe" track bar & brackets from CPP (the latter is to adapt my 12 Bolt from my '76 Blazer that is nicely modified) for my '70 GMC today. I'm excited to finally start getting this show on the road :metal:

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
Think I'd just torch off the hinge so you can get at the bolts behind the fender, then replace the hinges and door with different ones. Least you can get it off to see if the door is salvagable that way

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
It's exhaust tubing for now, just wanted to try it out, will go with DOM if I like it. Turning out to be a major undertaking though.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
Changed out my crappy stock fan for a nicer one. Cleaned my K&N air filter and recharged it. Clean the truck up and drove it to a car show.
Over 100* and the truck was not liking it lol. http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d3...714_134201.jpg http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d3...714_162246.jpg http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d3...714_162230.jpg |

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
put some fresh gas in the freshly cleaned gas tank. threw a new filter on and started it up. its running like crap. guess the carb got a big drink of the black mess that was in the tank. the new accelerator pump diaphragm was stuck from the mess in the squirter circuit. it wont idle as im sure that circuit is all gunked up to. guess ill be pulling the carb and giving it a soak and a rebuild. this stinks because it was running great for the first 20 minutes till the goo got sucked up. guess its my own fault for not cleaning out the tank. who knows how long this truck sat before we got it. found the power steering setup we just got put on isnt working either. think the used pump is kaput. so today i cursed at the truck and myself, repeatedly! lol! o well tommorow is another day and is supposed to be a bit cooler.

Just finished lay-out, forming, creating, and installing my A/C hoses and heater hoses, making a bulkhead plate, bracketing my drier and putting line spacers on. 40 + hours. Everything made, cut and crimped to size.

Went to the trans shop...Trans wasn't ready. Went to Napa to have trans cooler lines made up ($106.).
Went to Manny, Mo, and Jack's for more fluids (of all kinds), a black plastic thingy that holds the fan sensor in the radiator, an open-plenum carb gasket, some slime floor weep up stuff, and a drop light that I need to replace the one I slammed in the door ($133). Moved the melted (my bad choice) starter wire, (re) installed the starter and flex plate. Oh, after putting in the new freeze plugs, we put the motor back in yesterday. The trans had to be outsourced to fix more leaks than I could deal with. Other than the trans fix in the works, it's all about re-hooking stuff now. Speaking of hooking up, the truck's been on non-op for a couple of years. Today I got the bill for tags for 12 months. California....$212. Went to get insurance added at State Farm. $216 for the year for no collision for now. High PL and PD coverages. When it's painted, or even when body work progresses a little further, we'll jack the coverage up...but for now, we're self-insuring on *our side* of any loss. I'm just glad I'm close enough to think she's ever gonna be on the road! Here's yesterday morning: |
