We put on a new brake booster and new master both were bad. Got everything bled out and was able to drive it today first time since we bought truck 3 years ago. Yeah!!! Rebuilt the original 402, tranny, now new booster. And master. Runs great. Drives pretty fair also. Now today inner fenders going back on.

Picked up a new (used) grille and headlight bezels on Craigslist. Slowly getting where I want it. I already had the chrome headlight bezels but these are in better shape so I grabbed them too.

I should of took a picture but, I installed a DUI distributor and man did it wake up my engine. I cant wait to drive it after I tune it..

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
 

I sold it!! :( Wanted to keep it but it was just sitting around and I didn't want it to rot away.

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
 

Gave the truck a 4.5 inch lift. These are awesome to help me move the truck out of the way when not working on it. And I got them for a great deal on CL. $50 for all 4 at 1500lb capacity each.
I also got in a gang of parts to reseal the rear end, axles, wheel cylinders, and new breaks all around. And everything I needed to put the motor back together. Once I get the transmission all rebuilt it will be ready to put together. It will be able to go and stop

Media Blasted parts..and being that I'm brand new to the "rebuilt" life...I have no idea what I blasted...Ok. Some of the parts I know but here are the ones that I don't know.

I bought this truck.."from a guy..who took it all apart..without a plan..so I bought the truck" now I have to develop a plan. I've gone through Owners workshop manual and several parts catalogues..can't find these as they've been updated in design, I suspect.

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
 

I would start a new thread for this type of stuff. You will have many more questions. Good luck with your restoration.

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
 

All of ours are mostly sitting rotting away a bit, what isn't, even a new truck 2 days later, to bad, sad it's gone, maybe you will miss it enough in time to get another and enjoy life the odd drive at a time, gotta have a hobby.

Pulled the doors off. One is in great shape, the other, not so much. I should have covered that speaker hole years ago..

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
 

That'll buff right out :lol: .

The speaker hole didn't cause this FWIW .

Have to behave and stay out of the shop for a few weeks but did still find few projects to do. Repainted the letters on these emblems yesterday.

I put new internals in my Edelbrock 1406, and gave it a good exterior cleaning. It has always ran pretty rich, though well. Not knowing exactly what the previous owner did, (I know his nephew or something tweaked it) I went back with stock metering rods, springs and jets - primary and secondary to start fresh. Also found that the floats were maladjusted - set too high, so now that's all at the recommended level. Also new gaskets and other parts. Looking forward to bolting it back up this week one evening.

I think something is up with my seat. I can't get mine to push forward like that. I have to move my seat up to get behind it
