Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
 

Today I pulled the old JVC radio out to see if the dash had been hacked up by any of the previous owners. It was nice to see that it wasn't. I will get an original looking radio some day.

This week I ordered pins and bushings to rebuild the door hinges, as well as a NOS door stop retainer to replace one that is missing.

yes its a smaller starter. I think they may consider them high torque mini. not sure on that. We used one a 468 13 to 1 motor. Im not sure when gm started using them? I just order a starter for a 98 1/2 ton 350. Used them on several cars now. It was 210 from the chevy house. half the weight and size of the old starters.

Installed these aluminum header gaskets.. I've heard mixed reviews but worth a shot

Great looking engine and compartment!

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
 

I never liked the stock location of the step bumper on my truck. It always looked too low to me. So, after doing the 2.5" frame raise in the rear, it was the perfect opportunity to tuck the bumper higher up. I think it looks much cleaner now. I was originally going to ditch this bumper for a sport bumper, but this simple step bumper is growing on me. I think I may keep it.

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
 

I really like what you've done there. I have a similar bumper, and the same issue with it mounting an inch too low. I may just have to do this myself. It looks much better.

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
 

These old bumpers look great But I'd like to raise mine an inch. My tailgate hinge points and bed are raised, when I close the gate there's a 1 1/2 gap.

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
 

Mounted the inverter and Bluetooth, usb, sd card, 1/8 jack, FM radio install started.

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
 

I love your tailgate mod. That is one of the coolest mods I've seen on this forum. I think with all the fab work you've done on your truck, you could knock out that bumper raise in no time ;)

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
 

Thanks it was not easy to get all of it to fit, but nothing is impossible, it's just never been done. I've done quite a few mods that only a trained eye would see.

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
 

I changed out the ignition switch today. it was acting up, ( cranked fine but wouldn't start till I let off the key to run position ). All planets are once again aligned....

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
 

Started to put body molding on, not really digging it seems cheap and flimsy. Not so much the side stuff but for sure the tailgate.

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
 

Took the old seat out and replaced with a 90 model seat. Put the drivers side harness in have to make a LQ yard run to pick up some more belts. Installed the new strob light also.

Took the hump out and sealed it up good and put more screws in it.
Got to get a rubber mat for it and the inside should be done.:chevy:

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
 

Not a darn thing done on the truck today, busy in Matera, Italy working on another classic piece of iron..... it is a 72 however.... good patina as well! Lower roller shafts are worn so it's got a drop kit I guess you would say...

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
 

Thank you sir. I'm pleased with how it's looking so far. I just need a rubber floor mat. I have the tilt and steering wheel + the dash pad to install yet but that maybe awhile until I can get the tilt rebuilt.:chevy:

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
 

Oil change, coolant flush. Replaced my temp sending unit to no avail. .. oh and then grounded the 12 volt peg of my temperature gauge.... Now when I ground the temp wire it wont peg out to hot... :uhmk: Did I fry her? Did I just burn out the ceramic resistor? Blow a fuse that I don't know about? I've been through the manual and these threads a little. Anyone have any thoughts as to the damage I did? Know of any other threads discussing this business? Btw, first time posting! This forum is great and I am very thankful!
