Cleaned it inside and out, took it for a drive (the best part). Chopped a cord of wood in 95F heat (good to have a helper even though all she does is listen to me cuss)... had a shower... went for another drive, little slice of heaven, nice hot afternoon, tunes cranked, ahhhhhhh:b69: oh, and look at that! it is time for an Ale, perfect:metal:

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

I hooked up more acc but couldn't figure out where the oil pressure switch went. I put oil in the engine and tried to fire it for a sec but not spark. I did figure out where the oil pressure switch goes though. :lol: And the 2nd picture.. Well it dosent get any better then a good old fashioned bottle of coke while working on the classic Chevy Truck...

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Nothing to the 66 but cleaned up the TH350 on my wife's 57. New seals and a fresh coat of paint. She was happy...;)

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Bout got my Dakota Digital VHX done, this thing is sweet has all the goodies of a new vehicle, very thin cat 5 cable to control box, has high speed and rpm recall, hour meter, can alternate speed and temp on LCD display, has a sending unit and wire vs. a spedo cable, I decided to add the GPS to it, sorry bout the glare in the IPhone photo, think I need some contrast in the instrument bezel, but not till I get this thing rolling.....

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Removed old ECM and started making room for the new PCM. The old one was much smaller and easy to find a spot for. Engine bay is primed painted and ready for the LT1, hope to be going in by the end of the week.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

I agree,
It looks like it belongs.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Picture perfect weather for the long weekend. Logged about 1000 miles of drives. Turn signal mechanism broke but I swapped it out for a spare I had and was back on the road in an hour.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Yes he is... Too Fast.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

I rolled my truck out into the sunshine and fired her up.

Found a hood for my truck today $25! It has one dent in it, but I can fix that. I am picking it up Saturday.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

On the hoods they can get a bit testy when you start to block the hood out.. "coke can effect" I used an extra set of inner braces and that made the blocking and body work go very smoothly.. Just a FYI its super easy to do, and will create a much stiffer hood in the process.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Very cool idea! I will be combining two hoods soon to get a good one and will add the second set of braces for sure.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

A very nice improvement.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Yesterday on the way to a cruise night I heard a scraping behind me and pulled over, found 5 lug nuts rattling loose in the LR hubcap and the wheel held on by the 1 remaining lug nut, which was half loose.
Put the lugs back on, and checked the other wheels and found nearly all the lug nuts were a bit loose.
I'd had radials put on on Sunday, and painted the rims on Monday and this was the first time I'd driven it. So either I didn't tighten them down enough, or the old beat up looking lug nuts just aren't staying tightened(before the tire shop took them off, who knows how long they'd been in place).
I've got 24 new lug nuts waiting at the Napa for me to pick them up, and I ordered a few wheel studs in case any of the ones on the LR wheel were damaged. It definitely made that drive more interesting that expected. But I have to say the radials are an *astounding* improvement over the old bias plys.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

WOW!! Lucky you were!!! Good thing you didn't have the stereo cranked....you wouldn't have heard it! Glad nothing bad happened!!!

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

(hey did you hear that noise)

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Painted top and grille surround white

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Replaced all the lug nuts and made sure they were properly tightened this time.

Rebuilt the carb & replaced the float, still running super rich though. A 230 should not suck this much gas.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Not really today but last night finished up my head swap to a freshly rebuilt 194 head, installed heddman headers and offenhauser intake, edelbrock 1405 4 barrel carb, and dual exhaust with thrush glasspacks. Today will be an oil change since I did a coolant flush when the head was off.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Picked up a hood and doorpost/cowl bubble from the junkyard. $45 total.

The hood is from a bus and has a large dent, but it has zero rust through.

I am pretty stoked. Been looking for a hood since last August.

They also have two doors I will pick up next weekend for $25 each.

I found out a friend of mine has a 65 painted grill with a small dent for $25.

The body work will go MUCH faster now.

Big Rig,

Steven

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Went out for a drive. Dang Tailgaters!

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Took off the rear bumper and hitch. Removed exhaust manifolds and drilled out spot welds on replacement junkyard piece.

My son (who is 9) and I tried bleeding the brakes. The fronts went easy but I am having trouble with the rears.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Pulled the front bumper to eliminate the fog light mounting holes and repair some blemishes in the 10 year old paint.
