Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
The shop was tied up so i dinked around trying to come up with a clutch linkage that that will work.

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
Very, very nice 235. NOT fault finding but I'd suggest you put something on the exhaust manifolds so they don't rust/crust up and ruin the beautiful look of that. Eastwoods has a brush paint that is supposed to cure with heat and look like a new casting. Have heard good things but never used it. Congrats, niiice engine

Swapped the old 250 cube 6 & the attached toyota 5 speed, plus a disassembled 454 for a 28 Model A Tourer, thats mostly complete, tho fully disassembled.
We replaced the 250 & manual with a 350/700R4 combo over the past six weeks. |

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
Got the right side cab corner welded on, and started fabing up the left side. First time welding in a patch panel, i think it turned out good enough for the woman i date!

Put the bed, bumper, tag, and taillights on and went for a drive. Got one minor issue to work out, no rear emergency flashers, but all else works. I picked up a column mounted backup light switch on EBay so I'll address the emergency flasher issue when I get back under the dash to install that.
I have paid insurance for three years and bought three tags for this truck with out driving it so for now I just want to drive it, LOL. |
Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?

Every kid in town that thinks they have a fast car has been askin for a whoopin' but I'm still babying her and street racing is something I left behind a long, long time ago. Kinda wishing now I would have removed the door handles tho...to late/ah well... http://i1180.photobucket.com/albums/..._hx/Cruzin.jpg |

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
I'm waiting on parts so I stripped my other chassis of the usable pieces like side board mounts, cab mounts, and master cylinder and mount, to clean up and sell. Its My budget that is going to be what either lets me or keeps me from driving this summer.

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
Well it may not have been today so to speak, but over the weekend I got to run my 69 C10 down the 1/4 mile for the first time! After 8 years of having it on the street with 3 different engines and 2 paintjobs its never seen the track! It saw over 400 of miles of street driving last week alone! Drove it to work and back (33 miles one way) every day of the week plus all over hell to run every errand I had :metal: . Needless to say I had a blast driving it all week long, then got to drive it 1 1/2 hrs East to Rock Falls Raceway outside of Eau Claire WI. I ran a 13.81 @ 98 mph my first pass ever in 95+ degree heat with extreme humidity and a crazy stumble off the line. Best pass of the weekend was 13.6 @ 102 mph with a full tank of gas and 150-175 lbs of stereo still in the truck, and drove it home in the rain! Not the fastest thing out there, but you bet your @$$ it was a fantastic experience! :metal: :metal:

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
I think your 53 GMC is going to be quicker than that C-10. Get it running and prove me right!
