Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
 

After a wash and a quick cruise I started cleaning up the cross member and sway bar I grabbed off a ‘77 Scottsdale. I’m hoping to eliminate the horrendous body roll that goes along with having leafs on all 4 corners.

Well it wasn't today but might be helpful to the guys installing M20-21-22's in their trucks . I used a new Hurst competition -plus shifter and install kit from Summit to set mine up ,Along with Paul's hardened tool steel bushings and clips . And after talking to Paul I'll be adding a tail shaft trans mount :chevy:

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
 

great outcome old Binks gun and all:)

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
 

Headliner looks great. My 91 burb has needed one my entire ownership. They sell the pre-formed pad/headliner combo I was thinking about buying.

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
 

Love Penetrol. Just don't lean on it real hard for a couple days haha.

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
 

The later cloth headliners are available mine is vinyl. Pattern called snakebite closeup of the old liner . I matched up to material used in alfa romeo

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
 

I didn’t know that. Yeah mine was just blue cloth. The boards are all warped anyway so may try the board/cloth pre assembled headliner.

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
 

It's rained on it twice the morning after I put in on.

But it's coming around slowly.
Going to have to paint the roof soon..

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
 

I drove mine yesterday, I think it developed a vacuum leak. Have to work on that. Otherwise she is doing well.

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
 

Cleaned up the 4x4 fan shroud I bought from CUSTOM/10. I used Gunk, de-greaser and a power washer, being careful to not mar the factory finish. Will be nice when installed.

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
 

Oooooo that is nice! I just posted a thread about adding one back to mine! Looks like a real score!

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
 

Finally broke down and removed all the heater and controls. I’ll probably be in the hospital due to the hantavirus with all the mouse stuff in there. The outer box was completely full of leaves, acorns, and dirt dauber nests. Good news was the fan motor worked after knocking a pound of mud nests off the wheel. Bad news is the outer box is pretty much shot. Lower left corner is broken and the metal area between the fan and firewall is rusted gone.

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
 

The cardboard was sagging on mine too. I dampened the top side of it and layed a few paver blocks on it in the sun. Sag came out but most likely will return

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
 

Replaced all the vacuum hoses, and carb fuel filter. Took it for a test drive and eliminated the rough idle while stopped in drive.

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
 

Removed the side mount aluminum tool box and fire extinguisher bracket from the bed of my new truck....lookin' better already!
Next up....back rack & warning lights

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
 

I’m a big fan of fixing vacuum leaks, #1 pet peeve when the carb signal gets altered!

I just looked at mine from my garage chair today.

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
 

I agee.

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
 

Today I FINALLY got my new Edelbrock AVS2 650cfm carb running correctly on my new 350 engine.

I drove mine to the store. The girlfriend wanted Tri Tip for her birthday dinner.....

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
 

Today I started the process of fixing the weep hole leak (when parking uphill) from my transmission. The vent tube up above is clear so I pulled the drive shaft And tail housing. From photos I’ve seen I expected to see some sort of inner seal or o ring but nothing present or much of a groove for one where the splines Start. I’m not even sure if mechanically that would seal the driveshaft yoke.

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
 

Spent the day at the media blaster. Of course no rain in the forecast yet I was dodging drops on the way back to the shop.

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
 

After finally massaging in new break lines, installing the new booster, master cylinder and shiny new stuff.

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
 

Got the bearing surfaces cleaned up on my driveshaft and yoke. Installed the tailhousing back on and waiting for new Spicer joints to arrive today. Should have a non leaking yoke now.

Thursday evening and today started sanding. Don't think I'll find any bondo.

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
 

Today I am closing the door on my gear change project. Went from 3.07 to 4.11. Granny first gear used to have some value with my small travel trailer, but I'm afraid it is now rendered useless and starts in second gear will work fine. I will go from about 1700 rpm in fourth to a more reasonable 2400 rpm at 55 mph with my 33 inch tires.

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
 

Just stared at mine over the weekend to get an idea of what to tackle next. Wife got me a new set of body mounts for anniversary so that's on the list. Want to knock the front end out but waiting to order and get parts here first.

Did paint my old 5x12 utility trailer though. Not a great job but it is one color now.

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
 

Finally posed in front of the old Chevy sign.

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
 

I installed my new DUI distributor Sat. Put in new plugs gaped at .050 and readjusted the timing to 14*BTDC . Total advance is 34* at 2500rpm. Also changed the vacuum advance to ported and reset the idle mixture with my vacuum gage. Truck is more responsive now and just seems to run better.

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
 

I went and pulled the wheels off of my great grandfather's 70 stepside we have had in storage for years. Figured with being furloughed from work right now it gives me something to do. Had the tires removed and since 50 years is hard on the wheels I'm sandblasting and painting to freshen up. I've got some extra tires that hold air and will have them put on the put on the truck and load on a trailer to bring home. Fun project I've been looking forward to for a while and putting off almost as long.
