Put new bumper, door, tailgate, chased down the wiring gremlin, replaced a starter, installed some headers and spintech Prostreets. put my posi 3;73 rear under it, and picked up a set of camaro style rallys for our trucks. One hell of a day if you ask me. haha

Removed the A/C unit finally, after multiple failed attempts.

I am so happy today! I got my gas tank out and it came out so easily I am STILL just pumped! (Thanks to good advice found here).

I also removed a falling apart door stop/bumper so I need to order a set of those.

Found more rust :devil: in the bottom of the cab under the gas tank spout hole. Oh ya, and I have a rust hole in my muffler too! Add that to the list....

Replaced the pcv valve grommet in the valve cover...best $2.75 spent on Black Betty. Exhaust leak is next

Was it running rough or something?

I ordered a bunch of parts: mostly rubber bumpers but did order the new sending unit.

Found out a new radiator from Advance Auto would be some $400.00! YIKES. I guess I'll buy from a vendor on here when the time comes.

Found a new fuel pump at Advance Auto but can't get a hold of the store....both phone lines seem to be out. So....might just go on over there today.

The dang thing (pcv valve) would just slip out, typically when I was doing 60 mph down the hwy, Mister-B. The original grommet was all dry rotted and half of it ended up in the valve cover when I tried to replace it (I fished it out). The engine would sputter when it wasn't securely mounted, problem solved.

Nothing yet, besides ordering some parts. Hopefully going to pick up a set of 22s for it this evening.

Re : Engine Grommets
 
FWIW ;

ALL those pesky , leaky engine grommets are available in the " HELP ! " aisle of your FLAPS .

Not only will your engine run better with them in place and snug but , it'll leak less oil everywhere too as the PCV's mild vacuum helps to slow weeps & seeps .

I always take all the old rotten or blubbery rubber grommets to match them up .
They have the correct long exhaust studs and alloy nuts too .

Clean & re paint the covers when the grommets are out to make it look prettier .

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 
Today I also (after posting that above) bought some rubber hose for the fuel lines and ordered a new fuel pump from Advance Auto. I guess I might as well replace as much as I can on the fuel system while I'm working on it.

That was a heck of a day...did you work 20 hours on it?

For mine, I found a radiator shop that still fixes radiators and dropped off my busted radiator.
