(Sidebar: I wish LMC wouldn't ship with all that nasty "popcorn"....What a mess to chase those kernels that got away around the driveway). So, it was just me, 3M, a fine file, the band saw, some anti-scuff tape for the cuts. Here's the end result...BTW, I had previous trim problems and didn't want to drill holes in the tail gate. However, the stock chrome center piece needed to be screwed on for various reasons. This is all pre-paint. So, the mock up is done. Maybe for a few years. The SS strips are on there rock-solid with two runs of 3M 7/8" double stick trim tape. |

Ah looks good, I will put That same trim on mine at some point.

New plugs, cap, rotor, NGK wires, air filter... and its still missing and hesitating under load... hmm.. maybe fuel filters next. Gotta buy a timing light too i guess.
Took my old door panels off and threw them in the trash. New ones coming from LMC. Lubed up all the door lock linkages and the window regulator. Things are much smoother now. |

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
bought some more gauges and a shim kit to fix my pinion angle. was to pick up my new d-shaft...but somebody shut my door that I left open (for a reason) and I overslept to pick it up! :m7: the family has been avoiding me all night! :lol:
I bought new 5" electric speedo and 5" 8k rpm tach. I'm most anxious about this gauge....a 3 3/8" dual gauge (not into the quads) for fuel level and oil pressure... http://www.autometer.com/img/products/1434_d.jpg along with the matching 2 1/16" voltage and water temp gauges takes care of the usual 6 in 5 holes, but also have a trans temp gauge and been thinking of getting fuel pressure to finish out the 7 holes...or will put an O2 gauge I had in when it was carb'd. |
Re: What did you do to your truck today!
bought one! its a 72 K20. probably use it for some parts for mine or who knows. it may turn into a shortbed project for my wife or i might just fix up some of the rust issues and sell it... i need a bed for mine and id like to use the front clip as well. who knows though

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
Replaced a leaking heater core, installed new hood hinges, adjusted my dash tach(was off by 1000 rpm) , dug out the old seam sealer in the gutters, cleaned the rest out with a wire wheel on a air powered die grinder( worked perfect) primed & resealed the gutters. Replaced the power steering remote 3/4 hose. Went over the truck with CLR & a Scotch brite pad ( surface rust areas) washed the rest. Now wait for tomorrow & do some more. Gotta love theese trucks! 71 C20 468 long bed

Installed my new radio and speakers. The radio has the wrong "badge" (GMC instead of Chevrolet) on it's face but I don't care. The radio will control a CD changer, play MP3's from a flash drive and an ipod.

Nice job. You have info on the set-up for the electronics. Seems I remember a thread....Hummmmm..... They ever say "CHEVROLET"? I think my face-plate says "GM". I'm still trying to figure out where to put speakers. I have a "dummy" stock radio in there now. But I have a good (working stocker) one ready for a "fix". I pulled out the top speaker for about a hundred reasons. Mostly, my stupidity for jacking with all the mounts back there. Now, the hole is filled up with carbon-fiber sheeting. I'd really like to go back behind the buckets on either side of the gas tank (Yeah, it's still in the cab). Oooooh! I see you did that. Nice. |
Re: What did you do to your truck today!
I changed the carb and finally got to drive down the road and actually feel a little power. It goes tomorrow to a buddies shop to put on a set of double hump heads and work on the carb linkage.(it hung up on the way back to the house) Maybe a '71-'72 conversion on the pedal.
