Loaded it with some stuff to move to new house. First time I took it for a drive longer than a block. Did find some issues while driving the old girl. But it made it all the way on her own.....with a little bit of a load.

Ordered 1" lowering blocks and adjustable tracking bar for rear

Rebuilding and reconditioning the closed knuckle 44 on my 62 K1000. There is obvious damage on the balls, but I got some metal epoxy to spread into the grooves, then I'll fair it down with some emory paper onces its fully cured.

Bought her a new frame converted to 2wd.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Took mine on a 60 mile drive yesterday and discovered two things:
1. the throttle spring was too weak and began to stretch causing my throttle to stick
2. a little oil is dripping out my stock oil breather. Not alot, just enough to leave drops and streaks on the valve cover and inner fender.

Today I installed a beefier spring on the throttle linkage (found it in the garage, it's about the size of the clutch return spring, so no worries with it stretching)

My 250 has the stock valve cover and a twist in hole for the oil breather. I had the proform oil breather pictured below but it is push-in. I cut the twist in base from the stock breather and welded it to the base of the proform breather. Fits like it's made for it. I figure the proform is taller and the filter material is a tight enough weave to slow down the oil spray.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?

Too hot for you with a avatar like that!!

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Let me know how you like it, I think I'm going to go with it also ;)

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Thumbs up, its only bout an inch thick fits the bezel much better than the billet piece I had in there, excellent quality you will need to use the oil and temp sending units that are supplied in the kit (tip top on those as well), plus comes with programmable speedo that will replace the cable, I'm not sure on the bezel color yet, been looking for a chrome version but can't find it, I need to stop changing things so I can start driving it, I'll post some better pics in a few days

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Tried to work on putting the refit exhaust back on so I can start it up and get the new HEI dialed in better. I really needed to get it done so I could get my other truck in to put new to me wheels and tires on.....I got myself in a rush, and got irritated because nothing was working right. So I pushed the Chevy out and pushed it out of the way. I'll have to come back to it another day with a fresh head.

:banghead:

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Started getting my garage in order to be my shop for the winter, lot's O' work to do B4 next spring!

The dash is something I grabbed at a swap meet, thought it would look cool in my basement, but, it is still hanging out in my garage.

The steering column is to be rebuilt/painted to replace the wonky one held together with duct tape that is currently in the truck!

That is just plain filthy:metal::metal::metal::metal::metal:

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

My son, Carson, wanted to help me clean on the old truck. Then me and the wife took it out for a cruise. Little man has some growing to do before he can ride in it unfortunately. Here's a few pics.

Beautiful truck... I like the color scheme too ;)

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Last night my son and I disassembled the steering column in prep to shorten it 3", replace the turn signal switch and paint it.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Ordered my TKO-600 today. Started pulling the front clip to make the engine/trans swap easier. Having trouble with the bumper bolts, but the rest of it was a piece of cake.

So much nicer not working on a rust bucket for a change!

Should have the 230/ 3 speed out in a few hours, then spend some time cleaning and degreasing the frame, etc. Maybe throw some chassis black on there and make it pretty.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Thank you! Great looking truck you have too!

Yesterday I brought my truck home, today, I drove it to work.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

wasn't it a great feeling to be the one vehicle on the road that EVERYONE noticed vs. all the cookie cutters?

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Pulled the inline 6 today and started cleaning the engine bay. Lots of caked on grease and dirt to scrape off!

Thinking of trying the oven cleaner on it.

Played around with some door art last night...looking for something that will not be permanent so I can change it up from time to time

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Started removing the back suspension. Thank God for PB Blaster! I ran out so I couldn't get everything broke loose though.

The rear brakes were even worse than the front. Nothing can be saved including the drums.

Basically everything but the rearend and the trailing arms will be replaced. The PO even had rubber blocks in the springs because they had sagged so badly.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

I pulled the longbed off of my parts truck by myself and it sucked, I really gotta get freinds that live closer.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

That really does look perfect on your truck.

I like the way you did your saw horses, I was wondering how I could make my bed set straight when putting her back together. I saved one of the pics.

Thanks

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Took out the driveline and transmission, unhooked all the wires, cables and linkages from the motor and bell housing to the cab, unbolted the motor mounts and waiting for the engine hoist to come back (on Tuesday). Bolted up the intake, water pump, harmonic balancer and pulleys to the new crate motor that's going in.
