Re: What did you do to your truck today?
Hey all, just joined and this is my first post in the forum. This week (sorry not today but didn't know where to post this) I acquired my grandpa's '64 GMC from my uncle. Pulled out the 250 and 3 speed with overdrive that my uncle had put in it in 1987 because he wants it for his 55 GMC. My plan is to paint it black and put a 455 Olds and turbo 400 in it this summer!

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
Welcome to the forum. Make sure to take lots of pictures right away. It's always disappointing after years of upgrades and improvements to discover there aren't any "before" pictures!

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
Did a check-up in storage, make sure nothing was stolen out of it. lol
We're selling it - still in project mode. Almost there though - rough interior, etc. If anyone is interested, let me know :) |

Hung the Queens City AC unit, found the problem with the dash lights. It was the dimmer switch. Bypassed it and they work. Worked on a door today. Found some rust behind the door handle while I was stripping it. Cut it out and worked on skimming it.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
took a buddy out for a birthday ride... On the way back decided to have some fun and dog it out just a bit... Until I went over a canal bridge at 40 mph... Not smart. Nocked out a good size piece of the dougnut between the manifold and the exhaust pipe, not to mention the original 50 year old exhaust came loose and is swaying back and forth... Guess I know what I'll be doing next!!! ohh and welcome Idaho!!!!

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
Swapped jets and metering rods (richer) in the carb today which didn’t resolve the running out of gas problem at full throttle in 3rd gear. I disconnected the mechanical fuel pressure isolator from the pressure regulator to see if that has any effect. Took it out for a run tonight and it's performing perfectly. Not sure how an isolator can cause so much trouble, but I guess that will be next thing I get to figure out.
