Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
I took my factory ac{cowel vent} Off then took the seat frame and tracks out and found broken front track mounts. after that I took the gas tank out then removed the old cab windlace and vaccumed out a ton of crap.

Every kid in town that thinks they have a fast car has been askin for a whoopin' but I'm still babying her and street racing is something I left behind a long, long time ago. Kinda wishing now I would have removed the door handles tho...to late/ah well... http://i1180.photobucket.com/albums/..._hx/Cruzin.jpg |

I'm waiting on parts so I stripped my other chassis of the usable pieces like side board mounts, cab mounts, and master cylinder and mount, to clean up and sell. Its My budget that is going to be what either lets me or keeps me from driving this summer.

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
Well it may not have been today so to speak, but over the weekend I got to run my 69 C10 down the 1/4 mile for the first time! After 8 years of having it on the street with 3 different engines and 2 paintjobs its never seen the track! It saw over 400 of miles of street driving last week alone! Drove it to work and back (33 miles one way) every day of the week plus all over hell to run every errand I had :metal: . Needless to say I had a blast driving it all week long, then got to drive it 1 1/2 hrs East to Rock Falls Raceway outside of Eau Claire WI. I ran a 13.81 @ 98 mph my first pass ever in 95+ degree heat with extreme humidity and a crazy stumble off the line. Best pass of the weekend was 13.6 @ 102 mph with a full tank of gas and 150-175 lbs of stereo still in the truck, and drove it home in the rain! Not the fastest thing out there, but you bet your @$$ it was a fantastic experience! :metal: :metal:

I think your 53 GMC is going to be quicker than that C-10. Get it running and prove me right!

Went to the local Pick-N-Pull and pulled a Explorer rear end. Under 100 bucks for disk brakes, posi and good gears.

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
After buying it on Thursday, I drove it from where it has set for who knows how long back home. Pull started her, brakes didn't work so I used the hand brake on the backroads all the way home! Very fun, nerve racking, dirty, and definitely dangerous adventure. I am fully aware of how dangerous it was, but the backroads weren't very busy. 1948 1 1/2 ton Loadmaster and the 'ol 235 ran pretty good!

Stripped the wiring and accessories off my 5.7L Tahoe in prep for engine R&R
Did I mention I pulled the body to do it the easy way. (see '98 Tahoe body off engine swap thread)on 88 -98 board. |
Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
I made some backing plales with welded nuts that I welded to the inside of the frame.
That way when I weld the boxing plates on I don't have to worry about fighting the nuts that hold the runningboard hangers. |
