Cap and rotor.
Amazing improvement.

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

After my last pull over to the coast I was a little disappointed with the output of my 350, so I'm working on a cam, header and Vortec head installation. Always had big blocks in my tow vehicles but thought I'd try an upgrade on the existing engine before going that route.

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

Installed new grill and front bumper.

Got my ammeter working after being dead for who knows how many years. Thanks to a board search, I checked the two fuses at the ends of the core support. One of them was shattered. NAPA didn't have any short 4 amp fuses so I'm trying a 3 amp. So far, so good.

finally got a transmission dipstick tube to go in the 700r4. bought a Mr. gasket tube but it didn't fit. ended up bending it almost straight to get it in. filled the trans and tried the gears (on jackstands). seems to shift OK. this weekend will be the big test!

Love that color blue on our trucks

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

Thanks el fantasma, One of my favorites too. The truck was originally dark blue. One driver quality repaint about 20 years ago. Still looks pretty good.

I walked past it in the back yard wishing I had tine to work on it. lol

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

Finished installing new water pump, valve cover gaskets, gates belts after some fresh paint dried. Took more time than I first thought, one thing led to another, you all what know I mean. Turned out ok--no leaks--AHH the smell of fresh paint! This Forum and the people here are the Best! ( the florescent light sure does change the color of the paint )

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

Looking *VERY* good ! .

I like the clean and simple uncluttered lines of this engine .

Thanks VWNate1 I am still amazed with this forum and internet and how easy it is to share with others. I learn so much here and gives me something to look forward each day and my mental and physical health is better because of it! Good to hear from the West Coast. Happy Trails

Thanks Big Block-I see in your profile you have a Blazer-NICE-Question I am helping a friend with a 70 Blazer-he wants new long tube Exhaust Headers . Just wondering if your Blazer has long tube Headers, if so do they fix without modifying. 350-350-4x4 auto. I see HOOKER #2452-1HKR fit rear wheel drive but doesn't say 4x4 any information would be great.

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

Sorry, I can't help with that. Mine is bone stock expect for rally wheels and tires.

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

All most a year of sitting after a rebuild, I got it to start.

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

Trying to wax and polish an 84 Jeep for the wife. The bird crap will not budge even with a light polishing compound.

I am finishing up with a coat of wax and selling this junk.

Time to turn the efforts back the CHEVROLET!;)

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

My new summit heads came last week, so today I masked up my block, heads, and oil pan, shot with VHT primer and then chevy orange rattle cans. Looks decent. Definitely better than it did! I don't remember why I wanted to paint it while it was disassembled, but there was a reason. But I can finally assemble, and move on to suspension, brakes, bodywork, interior, trans conversion. Crap...

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

Installed the interior including the ACC carpet kit that I've had for 18 months!! Thanks paint jail! Belts and sill plates went in today too. Time to put a few miles on her to tie up any loose ends and get any bugs out.

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

Ok...I give up, what are they?

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

Good morning. I believe those are tail gate trunions.

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

Yep...I didn't see the depth of roller. I don't have that type on my year.

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

Replaced both rubber fuel lines on my 67 chasing a vapor lock issue. The one from the frame to the pump I know had been replaced when I did the pump. The one from the tank to the frame... Original 1967, complete with undercoating and spring type fasteners. Here's to hoping...

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

I replaced the tail/stop lamps in my 68. They were some a friend gave me, LED style, Chinese made. I got home from the local cruise in at about dusk last night and decided to walk around the truck to check the tail lights before putting it in the garage. And to my surprise I had no tail lights! I knew I had power back there as I had a license light. So this morning I pulled out two new 1157s and we're back in business. The LED lamps had come loose in the sockets. Both of 'em, go figure.

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

Installed courtesy lights. Simple up grade that makes a huge improvement to lighting in your cab. Thanks to Board member Roger Koop. Check out his wiring harness on the parts board.

My new functional air cleaner.. wanted something a bit different

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

Oh it's different alright. If you like it that's all that matters. I'd say you have a conversation starter there. It's a Texas thing.

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

You weren't alone lol

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

Is that a Stetson air cleaner??

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

Yea they are trunions, trying to get rid or a rattle on the tailgate, also these are make out of stainless steel and have a bushing

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

Put a 211 LED bulb ( in your under dash lights too ) in your interior dome light and it'll be like daylight when you open a door at night.

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

Thanks for the tip.

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

added a 1 inch spacer under my carb chasing a hot start issue, installed a daytime running light kit, and installed jute padding on my firewall. What a job that last one is, I should have done that first instead of last.

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

Where did you order the jute padding for your firewall? Did you get pre cut? If you did how well did it fit? Thanks

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

Think I fixed the vapor lock issue, so I gave her a much needed bath.

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

flip.
