It was yesterday , but I drove to Rocky Mountain Forest Products and picked up my special ordered 1"x8"x8' beetle kill pine. It came in to the yard in 5 16' boards and so they cut them down to 10 8'ers so I could haul'em home.

I copied member OregonNed and replaced the battery terminals that the resto shop from Hell :devil: had ruined when I got my truck out of jail :lol:
Their shoddy work has me checking off a long list of items to correct, repair, and replace. All is good now...moving on and feeling better that I am fixing things myself.:metal: |

Hi, i replaced the original Delco starter with a GM mini starter from DB Electrical a week or so ago. It crapped out after 5 days. I contacted DB and they replaced it right away. Sounds great now, hope I get more than 5 starts. DB’s service is first class, no tech assistance tho.

Some progress and learning a lot. I'm slow on things first time out, but I did manage to get this done over the last few days. Nice when you have the parts. 4" drop.
Ask me about torque on leaf spring suspension.......I can give you a lengthy unspecific answer, but close;) Go figure, you can buy replacement saddles and plates after all. Can't speak for their quality, mine were still good. |

How do you plan to attach it to your cut radio opening? My dash was also unfortunately cut for a newer stereo by the previous owner. That plate, color matched hugger orange and I would be good to go! I think there would be a lot of interest from people with cut original dashes....just saying ;) Good job. Sam |

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
It's actually suspension disassembly week for me. Removed both front spindles for disc conversion and tore both ball joint boots on the right side, then discovered that the upper cross shaft bushings were worn, so next up is removing the upper control arms and replacing the bushings. Yay!

For me it was carb-disassembly-week. Blew it apart and started the cleaning, rebuild process. Replacement parts arrived today, so tomorrow will be to reassemble carb, attach new choke components, install and test.

I stained my truck bed few days ago, its wood that came off a tear down barn so it was a real dull grey weathered color, so I thought i would make it a bit less dull and protect it as well as I really like the real old barn wood.

Got the bed back together, had the bed on kinda lose when I realized there is no way to get to the back bolt unless I drop the fuel tank. With the bed on theres no way to get to the nuts when placing the fuel tank. Welded the nuts in place, then got the bed where I want it and tightened down, then was able to put the tank back on. Always a learning experience.
