Frame came out real nice with the hat pressure washer . All the original brake lines look new . The pressure washer rental cost me $96 for the day I would do it again in a heartbeat.

That came out nice, and you didn't even have to take the washer off the trailer. Mighty handy.

Started prepping to replace the water pump today. Decided the radiator and fans needed to come out so I started draining it and unhooking lines and hoses. The goal was not to make a mess. With that in mind I decided to move the truck out of the shop onto the gravel to remove the radiator and pump, this way any coolant in the block could just run out there. OK! I hop in the cab and fire it up, pull it into reverse and didn't get that immediate thump into gear...it took me maybe a second to go from I'm gonna move this truck to engine OFF NOW! ...and so now I get to do exactly what I was trying to avoid, and then some! -klb |

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
Not on my truck, I just drove mine to my buddies. New power steering is working great and wish I’d done that swap sooner.
Helped my buddy get his radiator in, all hooked up, and filled. We then rebuilt the driveshaft with all new u joints and carrier bearing. Got right the point of ready to fire up and ran out of time. Ready for first start and break in after full rebuild. |

Oh yeah, I went to a local car show. Lots of vehicles, from over 90 years to the present. I remember when a Model T ford was only a few decades old. |

Finished up the power steering install by securing the lines and re-installing the inner fender. Wife and I took it on about an hour drive. Now on to finishing up the rear bumper.

I had a crack in the drivers side manifold of the 454 BBC in my '67 K/10 Sub. I tried JB Weld. Unlike the claims on the package side, it burned off after a while. There were Ram Horn exhausts on the small block in my '71 GMC Jimmy when I bought it. After It sucked a couple of valves [#6 + #7], I bought a Mr Goodwrench crate motor 350. I noticed the exhausts were different. The RH one had tapped bores for A.I.R. but the LH was pre-Emissions. I didn't like the possibility of different backpressures, so I got Headman headers. |

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
I was checking fuses on my new-to-me 2003 Tahoe. [Weird electric window issues.] When I dropped something, so I crawled under the motor.
I didn't find the tiny piece I had lost but I did find a 1'' piece of blue sparkplug wire. I had moved the '71 Jimmy out rom under the carport so I could check on the Tahoe in the shade. The Jimmy had run rough, but I thought it was just a cold engine. I looked under the hood and found a packrat had chewed thru the #5 cylinder plug wire. No. 5 is hard to get to on a 4-Speed truck with Power Steering. I found a used plug wire I can try, but I'm not sure I got the terminal to click on the sparkplug tip. I'll get back after it tomorrow. The sun went down on me today. |

Finally got around to putting a matching chrome and black glovebox door on to match the gauge trim, found some self adhesive black faux leather to use on the center that matches okay.

I ran a temporary spark plug wire to Plug #5. Works good. I hate Packrats, and obviously, the feeling is mutual...
