Installed a new muffler, washed and waxed cab, installed a tachometer in my 1961 C30 dually. 13k original miles, everything original (for now).

Re: What did you do to your truck today part IV
 

Put the stroker motor in over the weekend, changed front driveshaft, Changed both front brake hoses. broke a bleeder. changed caliper, changed out heater core

Re: What did you do to your truck today part IV
 

I pulled the 230 and installed a 350. I didn't want to do it but the 230 still wont turn so it has to come apart and I don't want to wait to drive the truck. I also learned the 73 and later manifolds wont fit our trucks, so the almost new exhaust I saved wont do me any good. The driver side manifold dumps down right where the clutch linkage attaches to the frame. It wouldnt have done me much good anyway since I left the pivot ball at home.

Converted to an internally regulated alternator last night. Very simple and everything seems to be running much happier. :ito:

Re: What did you do to your truck today part IV
 

Ive been looking for a set of manifolds for the small block in my truck and stumbled on these. Loosely installed them this morning to check fit. Couldnt do much because the yard at work is wet after the rain and I dont have room inside at the moment

Re: What did you do to your truck today part IV
 

Are those chrome or stainless steel?

Re: What did you do to your truck today part IV
 

And?

Re: What did you do to your truck today part IV
 

They are ceramic coated. Unfortunately I didnt have bolts to put them on but they look like there shouldnt be any issues. Clears the clutch linkage no problem but they will be kinda close to the factory starter. They are Jegs p/n 300555, I got them off Craigslist.

Re: What did you do to your truck today part IV
 

Got the truck back from interior shop on Tuesday. All and all I am pretty happy.

Re: What did you do to your truck today part IV
 

Quick update on the Jegs headers. They kid of fit. Im going to have to smash a tube on the driver side or trim some metal from the motor mount. Ill probably trim the mount. The front tube is making contact with the top of the support that attaches to the frame. I also had to grind a little off the flange so that it will clear the factory temp sending unit.

Re: What did you do to your truck today part IV
 

I’d like to ask Clyde what brand and color his owner put on him? I’ve got similar truck and would love for mine to look like you!!...if you don’t mind;)

Re: What did you do to your truck today part IV
 

It’s the GM Frost White, I’ll get the brand and code for you today.

Re: What did you do to your truck today part IV
 

Been replacing my bed wood this week. Using my 1955 Radial Arm saw :) I'm using 2"x8" and 2"x6" boards. only issue is I have to make all the edges 3/4" to fit properly. It's a bit of a chore to do but I have the tools to make it happen.

Re: What did you do to your truck today part IV
 

Had a chance to pull the sender out of my tank today. I knew the truck had been sitting a while but I had hoped the tank might still be usable. After seeing what the inside looked like I pulled the tank out. I took it to a local shop only to find out they want $100 just to tell me IF it was salvageable. Going to check out what the hot rod hoarder at work has tomorrow and hopefully he will have a fuel tank that will fit between the rails under the bed.

Re: What did you do to your truck today part IV
 

Well after almost a year and many setbacks I finished the brake upgrade. Went from Manual Drums to power assisted Disc Brakes on all four corners. I also replaced all of the brake lines.

Re: What did you do to your truck today part IV
 

Congrats on brakes sorted! I am in the process of doing roughly the same, but keeping the drums on the rear. My first time running my own brake lines. I am having quite enough of lying on my back on the gravel drive way with crap falling in my face :lol: Question, how did you route the line going to the rear end? Stick with passenger side, or switch to driver's side? Thanks.
