Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Finished up replacing all my head bolts with new Fel-Pro bolts with sealant already applied. Now I have to redo the valve lash, since I had to loosen the rockers to get the socket in between them. Not too much work left to have an engine ready to be dropped in. Now I have to get my firewall and frame cleaned up and repainted.

Pulled the 62 outside and cut the windshield out, started to strip the cab down... scraped what seemed like 5 lbs. of old Super Yellow of the ps door opening weather stripping.

Got the Comp Cams bumpstick swapped into the new engine today.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Which comp cam did you use. I just put a Comp Extreme 4x4 270H in my 454 lately, what a huge difference.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

I went with the High Energy 268H in a stock 350. Should be a lot more fun that the OEM cam I've been running for the last 21 years. I've got a Richmond 4 speed with 2.64 low gear and a Dana 44 in the rear with 4.10's.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Got my rear end buttoned up, installing the upper rear shock relocators, new tailights and housings, new rear wiring harness. Just waiting on the Lowes guys to bring my replacement compressor then I will install the springs and maybe the rear end tonight.

Why do your tail lights look off-centered??? Isn't there an aluminum housing for the lens to attach to?

They are kind of like that. They fit in the tail light recess. I ordered new ones from classic.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Just went out and put on the springs and shocks. Getting closer! I should have the rear end in Saturday and then the detail stuff starts.

Took off the front gas tank to my MH, it was leaking. Took it to a radiator shop for repair.

Picked up the Hood from the painter, the bird is mounted (safest place for now) Damn she looks good. He's got the tail gate and should get that back soon. Then the bed and she be done.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

W O W ! Hood looks great!

I got the 283 mounted on the 62's chassis where it belongs...
used the standard bell housing to locate and drill for side mounts - bottom holes on 78 cross member were spot on.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Vern The painter took his time to fill all the joints with seam sealer, so I never have to worry about water getting in the joints. Best way to go by far.
