pulled the gas tank, cleaned out the orange gas and put it back in. now i wish i had a new sending unit

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

I installed my parts from mgbmike. New filter sock and fuel sender float. I'm trying to avoid pulling the tank, cause if'n I do, I ain't gunna put er back. I definitely switch to an under bed tank of some sort and I know how much work that will be.
Thanks Mike.

Doesn't matter what I do to my truck on a given day as long as I bleed on it when the task is done.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

Boxing up extra parts......

Re: What did you do to your truck today!

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

Yesterday I got my electric fan setup all completed, works right and pulls a lot of air. Tonight I'll install some misc. parts I got from Classic Parts and probably connect the fuel gauge and fuel cell, kinda important since I drove it to work today with no idea how much gas is in it. Also gotta figure out how to route the dang exhaust so the panhard bar quits smashing it up against my bumper over every bump.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

Started it, drove it, tightened an AN fuel fitting.

The 5.3 is alive!

Re: What did you do to your truck today!

Re: What did you do to your truck today!

THE AMAZING FUEL PUMP EXPERIENCE.
Yea well...here's the thing. My 72 started missinig yesterday, loss of power, but idled fine. Hmmmm...(Thinking) AH AH..."Fuel Pump" my wife beat me to it. Good guess I said.
But I was thinking the same. She spoke first. Drats! I've taught her too much.
Limp home to see fuel leaking from the weep hole on fuel pump. Amazing diagnosis. We don't always get it right the first time do we?!
You can guess what I did to my truck today. Later dudes...

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

Finished tightening bolts and topped off differential. Put the exhaust on since people around here just don't appreciate my 355 idling with open headers like I do. Dropped it down and appreciated the stance with 2"drop in back. Fixed reverse light problem - had a couple wires reversed. If the weather is nice tomorrow I'm filling it up with lumber for the next project for the house. man I missed having my truck!

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

I put in a new HEI distributor today....bypassing all the mutant spliced and diced wiring with a simple toggle.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

I changed out the carb on my truck on the avatar from 1405 Edelbrock, (POS) I have bought 3 of these over the last twenty years never again ! any hoo, installed a Holley truck avenger 670 cfm & it runs like a top ! look ma no more internal gas leaks. cheers, Pat

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

painted more parts for the 67 and installed a trans cooler on my 85 4x4

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

hide the toggle......really well.....and you have a inexpensive security system!

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

Moved my exhaust hanger further outside the frame to get it to quit hitting the bumper, installed and hookd up my license plate light, hooked up my fuel gauge to the cell. Installed a new dome lamp assembly, needed new wipers so I figured I may as well go back to stock chrome ones so those got installed, also installed new reverse lenses. Tomorrow I clean in preperation for the first car show of the season on Saturday!

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

Trial fitted a blower and ran into some problems. Belt hits a fan, needs a smaller alternator and throttle rod hits a blower. One day I'll be done.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

Took Bumpers to Get ReChromed Had Bumper Bolts polished Had Brackets Powder Coated, Washed and Put New Californa Car Cover On... Sweet Sooon I'll be Rolling

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

Looking pretty good. Shame to carve a hood, but it'a a BLOWER after all.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

I went to look at mine and see what had been done......and to be sure it was still there. Getting ready to fit the front cap before blowing it apart and pulling the cab off of the chassis to detail it and refit the engine/transmission.

Don't get me wrong. If I could do the work, I would. This was paid for a couple or three years ago. There's a lesson in here, somewhere.....
