Got the lights aimed. I think they turned out pretty nice. Huge difference over stock lights. Went for a short drive and no one flashed their brights at me lol.

Took this with my phone, so not the best quality.

Put my truck on a tow truck, took it to the muffler shop for exhaust work and now it sounds really good. After new mufflers I DROVE to the alignment shop to align the front end...tech said everything was good, didn't need alignment. Changed the oil, calibrated the speedometer, replaced the ignition switch, filled up the gas tank, drove around awhile and did a few burn-outs. Life is good!Attachment 958961

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

Sorry to keep asking questions, did you use DDM sealed beam conversion housings as well?

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

If you are really "sorry", you could always PM him.

Doesn't bother me, but I'm just sayin'........

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

Thanks for the advice. PM's seem to get ignored a lot.

I went ahead and ordered the LMC harness and the conversion from DDM.

Also got a set of stainless steel bed bolts so I can get the bed back on the truck.

Carb Got cent out for a check, after sitting 2 years after the rebuild, it was flooding the engine massivly when trying to start the engine.

Truck should be on the road in a couple weeks!

"What did you do to your truck today!"

SOLD IT !!!! :metal:

Now maybe I can get back to my 67's

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

I hear ya.

I'm taking a "day off" from working on the truck. Last evening, my woman and I went up to the trans shop and picked up the TH350. Seems there was a leak at a bushing where the shaft goes thru the pump cover.
He re-installed another shift shaft seal, checked the shift-shaft for grooves, replaced the bushing, and generally checked-over the 350 for leaks. He and I hefted it (back once again) into the trunk of my car. $84.61.

Installed the trans cooler lines that Napa made up 1/2 way.... The ends that go into the radiator.

Then I figured out that the "new" Chinese fan controller set up was a rat. Just the probe. But replacing the probe would have been virtually impossible. Napa to the rescue ....again.
I'll bring home the bad one and put up a pic so you all know what NOT to buy if you ever have to get one.The Napa one is 100% more substantial and about $5 cheaper ($45).

Then, here's another Pep Boys fluids stash in the back seat.

I think I need a day off. Monday is more trans install and fluid pouring. Hoping for a dry Monday this time.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

I wired my fan with a kit from jegs that uses a switch mounted in the engine as aposed to the probe in the radiator. Mine is next to the thermostat in the intake manifold so it gets a good accurate reading.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

No worries. I used the lights from LMC and harness. Just used DDM HID kit.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

Refinished the wheels last week, put on new tires, and re-installed them today. Getting the truck ready to bring home and then the serious work will begin!!!

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

Dig the work truck!

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

Nice Service bed ! :metal: .

I went to my favorite junkyard to - day on a job , on the way out I passed by a 197? Jeep CJ7 with L6 and found the final power brake part I've been searching for ~ the correct threaded intake manifold vauum adapter with 11/32" barb on it and the smaller vacuum fitting for my dashboard vacuum guge....

I went home and put the fitting on my engine then went back to work....

I love how a 42 year old , nothing special " Cheap Truck " just sits there awaiting my beck and call ~ I turned the key and naturally it lit right off and ran well.....

No surprise of course , that's why I have BOW TIE Trucks :chevy: .

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

after 3 months of no visors, I finally got a black set and got them installed last week. I still need a set of clips though.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

Finally installed my rebuilt heads. Now to repaint and install the intake and then decide on a carb.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

Installed front spindles & disk brakes from a 78 onto the 70. While I was there I cut 1-1/2 coils out to see how the front looks dropped. Like a dummy I forgot to measure the differences of before (1st pic) and after, but it looks to be around 2-3" drop.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

Wired the alternator with help from a member in LA area, who was kind enough to call me. And drove it home!!

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

I installed a couple of eyebolts in the bed to secure my bicycle and surfboard trailer.



( oh, wait, I didn't do this today, I did it a couple of days ago )

Alrighty then, this is what I did to my truck the day before the day before yesterday. Today I did nothing to my truck.

Mods please move this post if inappropriate !

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

mounted the electric fan and finished the wiring in the engine bay(still need to put it thru the loom) and drove it around the block. Brakes don't work for crap so looks like I'll be going thru brakes next, gonna go with rear disc.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

Ordered an entire rubber kit from gmcpaul along with a glove box liner. I finally get a glove box!!

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

Got painted and installed the door panels. Cleaned and painted the trans.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

After the eight freeze plug install, the motor's back in. After the leakage at all ports was diagnosed and (knock on wood) plugged professionally :lol:,
the trans is back in. Driveline is all hooked up. All the stuff is hooked back up to the trans. All the throttle linkage, kick down,
and enough of the electrical is in to start 'er up.

Fluids (the bane of my recent existence) are back in and she fired right up.
Dry as a bone......

A hard, hot day. A good day.
