Really didn't think I would like the saddle fawn color . I was contemplating 503 green for the truck but now I really like the color.

Wood is working out nicely. Drilling all the holes then going to seal it . Need to hit it with some 220 on the da sander first . Decided to leave it raw no stain . Just seems to go better with the paint .

Finally located a new (reman) gearbox. Claims its a 3.5 turn. Almost completely installed. I just have to finish hooking up the steering shaft and linkage. It's a PITA to do by yourself, on your back with the sun blazing on you, after a full day shift at work, and sweat running down into your eyes.

All the holes worked out perfectly. Helps having a drill press too. Had a hard time finding a 1 9/16ths fostner bit. Girl at the local wood working shop broke up a set for me. Sanded and sealed the undersides of the bed wood this afternoon.

Applied Eastwood coating to my ram horns. These will replace the mismatched manifolds that were on my 327. It took a bit of effort to blast them clean....I need a bigger compressor!!

I pieced together enough from eBay. You have to be real careful as I’ve seen some advertised as such but seem to lack OEM markings. Here’s a NOS example next to N OEM example - see the diamond mark common to both. I removed overseas made new nuts from my k20.

Sunday I went for a cruise in my truck, delivering my daughter's bed and frame to her new apartment. We just got back from a vacation to Italy, and cruise to the Greek Isles - so it was nice to come back home and drive the old truck, (after dodging all the crazy little Fiats over there). We also celebrated the birth of a new granddaughter!

Anyway - to stay on topic - I've replaced the window felt on the driver's window, new wheels and tires, just received new side marker lenses and ordered LED's for them. Replaced the radiator cap. This was all over the last couple of weeks. |

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
I've been working on a glove box door restoration for an idea I have. Spent the weekend working on stripping paint. Either today's aircraft paint strippers are weak as water, or Chevy Truck paint is hard as nails, because I had to do a lot of power sanding and wire wheeling on these parts! The stripper barely bubbled anything at all - maybe a few square inches...

Cleaned up another cluster. Daughter painted the needles. Left the centers unpainted.
Not sure about leaving it all chrome or not. Either way the hokey tach is going away. |
