Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

After much head scratching and searching high and low I FINALLY installed, welded in, a Trans Dapt motor mount on my '73 frame to fit a 283. With Tons of help from a new buddy of mine with a handy Millermatic 175 :metal: Next I will be relocating transmission mount to fit my new 700 trans.


Thanks to Keith Seymore who is a member of this wonderful page I got enough confidence to start on relocating my hangers to drop my baby another 3" in the rear. Funny thing is I had no idea rear was flipped already till I took bed off:lol:, but she aint low enough!

Lastly I finally got my new Hitachi mini starter from Summit thanks to the Doobie Brother who recomended it.

Trucks are looking good guys!

I changed the 4x4 output shaft on my tranny to a 2wd output shaft. I guess that is another way to hold the output shaft up for you while you get the clip on..

Found out that CPP 5 inch rear coils net you about 8 inches.The bumper sat at 18" off the garage floor now it sits at 10". Went pretty smooth with my little helper.:lol: First pic is before.

Went on our first road trip adventure. The four of us went to Gravenhurst, 2.5H drive into the Muskoka Region of Northern Ontario. This is where Goldie Hahn, and Kurt Russell use to have a place, yes, multi million dollar cottages! I expected that the old girl would hold up fine on the trip (but you never know), and she did. Made a point of packing a couple boxes of tools, and a couple of spare tires. The day before we left, I got some good news and bad news, my front tires came in, but my back tires would not be in for 2 more weeks:( At least I was running two tires that were less than 25 years! Also still trying to decide what depth beauty rings I want on the new black wheels, and have not ordered center caps yet either. Great car show in gravenhurst, the 19th annual, over 200 vehicles, only one other 60-66 truck though. Enjoy some pics!

Replaced the brake booster and master cylinder on the 65. Bolted on 74 C10 parts and only had to extend the brake rod slightly to reach the brake pedal.

WOW! I now have brakes!! I don't need to stand on them anymore! So much more fun to drive!
