Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

If you have or haven"t found information on pinion angle for our trucks specifically, I can tell you that unless the suspension has been highly modified, chances are, pinion angle has not been affected enough to worry about. However. pinion angle, on our trucks, is adjusted by putting a shim between the axle and trailing arm. This is the cheapest and easiest way to do it.
And I see now that I have posted that others have told you that too...

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Finally got around to replacing the water pump today...well actually tonight after work. It's amazing how much quieter it is! The bearing in the old one was shot, but it wasn't leaking out of the weep hole yet. I swear these 6's are bullet proof!

Paint shop! Extra side piece is for Daytona Blue spray out.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

That's going to be one NICE 62. Keep up the great work.

Seeing the pics of the body work your are doing makes me a little sick, because last weekend I just bent the rail above the grill (the one in your last pic) and have to try to bend it back out as much as possible without damaging the existing paint.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

I like the back rims too on the 62.

Waiting for PorterBuilt crossmember install for the fronts 18x8 and 255/40 Nitto 555s.

Parts and powdercoat on list. Money money and more money. Plus just got a Dodge Cummings one ton 4x4. Only if Chevy had solid axle. Work better pickup.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

I got Frank ready to roll today rubbed out the new paint, not bad for doing it myself. But I can sure see why they get the big money for a good paint job it's damn hard work. It will be nice to drive Frank around again...Vernski:gmc2:

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Installed bumper only to have to take it off and back to the shop. The chrome around the bolt holes is crap. Will also need to fill the gap behind bumper... see arrows. Last Happy St. Paddy's Day.

Drove it drove it drove it
 

Drove the 66 to drop the grill, radiator support and a few other odds and ends to the powder coater, then to a friends to drink a brew.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Truck wouldn't start yesterday, so I charged the battery all night. Put it in this morning and, click, click. Had it checked and it was at 58 amps after being charged all night. So I bought a new battery and put it in. Started right up, then my alternator light was on. Took out the voltage reg and put in another one I had and the alternator light went out. So...I think it's ok for now. I'm hoping the battery was the worst of it.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Got pulled over.... Being the bad boy that I am.... Oh well. ((

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

VERNSKI,
May I ask where you got the close outs for your rear bumper (upper) ? Did you make your self or ?????? Thanks for any info!
Chuck

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Great looking truck Vern. What part of town do you live in? I'm right across the alley fromo the Police Station. If your in the area stop by and say hi. Also do you ever go to the Fuddy Duddy car meet every Wed. at Burger Heaven? I went a couple times last year. Nice people and nice cars.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

I bought them 3-4 years ago and I think it was Brothers Trucks, I ordered the bumper at the same time. I have seen them other places so they are out there, you could Google for them I think they are called splash pans, good luck...Vernski:lol:

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Hi Don [famous last words I live across the tracks] Oneida & Idaho st. yellow house w/ shop out back, red roof. I went to the Burger Heaven meet one time last summer there wasn't no talkers so I just left. But in all fairness they had something going on at the time maybe next time will be different...Vernski:lol:

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

I finally got started on my rear axle swap. Only things left to do now are, make shock mounts, find a brake hose that will work, make hard lines, fill it with oil and go.

I ended up having to move the spring perches in 1 inch on each side and cut off both shock mounts, but that's not too big of a deal.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

I did exactly nothing except watch the rain fall...the trucks outside with no garage or canopy to work under. Maybe it will stop raining by July...

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

i ground off the leaf perches and the shock mounts on the 14 bolt conversion i'm going to do on the 66 c-20. also getting ready to ship the 65 gmc out for body work and primer,[IMG]http://i792.photobucket.com/albums/y...psdce9b411.jpg[IMG]http://i792.photobucket.com/albums/y...ps7e4c1bae.jpg[/IMG][/IMG]
