Got new plugs and made sure they had the correct gap. Installed them and it still wont start. Though it seemed to try harder than it has since it stopped working. I'm still completely baffled as to why it wont run anymore.

In the battle of 42 year old door hinge pin vs man, man was victorious today. Freeze it, beat it, blast it, paint it.

Notes to self:

1) You don't just run out and change door hinge pins.

2) Cover up when sandblasting. Black diamond in a butt crack on a hot Texas day should be a once in a life time experience only.

Wires Look Good !

Re: What did you do to your truck today!

Answered a add on CL, guy had a Wrangler he wanted to trade for a truck; asked for a couple pics then said he was interested but had someone coming by this aft going to look at his jeep and would give me a text if he still had the jeep, I've been looking at wranglers for a couple years now. Went out in the driveway and washed the old girl went down and put some gas in her and went for a ride. Got back to the house shot the guy a text that I wasn't interested anymore, I guess I came back to my senses. I've had that truck longer than just about anything I've ever had that was drivable.

Things just usually work themselves out, not made to be this time.:bo2:

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

Funny...in a strange way. After I built the '72, I sold it to buy a Wrangler. A pretty black Jeep with a bunch of nice upgrades. I loved the Jeep.

Worst (car or bike) thing I ever did was sell that '72 to fund that Wrangler.

Congratulations.

Removed the old tired brake booster and master cylinder. I purchased an aftermarked set up on Ebay $105.00. So I'm fabricating a push rod to make it work. I also took the drive shaft back to Hudlow to have it rebalanced.
Hope to have a renewed brake pedal feel and no more vibration by tonight!
;)

Setting the 504 up on the Dyno this afternoon. Monday is the make some noise day...:chevy:

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

I see people buying new Tie Rods and what not, is there a way you can just sandblast them and repaint them ?

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

If you use soda or walnut shell you should be able to without damaging the grease boots, but if your boots are rotted to the point where they wont hold grease, you may want to go with new ones.
Poly Performance makes boot hats, but I haven't tried them, so I'm not sure if they are a fix, or an add on. You can check their website, or talk to one of the gearheads at your local Oreillys.

pulled the homemade flat bed off (i did not build it) with my tractor after cutting the sloppy stick welds and scrap used to hold it to the frame let me tell you that was fun fun fun. next up remove engine/trans rear end pressure wash frame and por-15 it. never ending keep telling yourself it'll be on the road before you know it.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

Finally had a couple of days off in a row. Got some work done on my golf cart project and had a few minutes to spend on the truck.

Gave me another 11 1/2 inches of room.

Now I need a good sheet metal place. I am north of Kingwood if anyone knows one without going into Houston.

MMmmmmm..... big block.....

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

Put the 3rd coat of flat black onto the driver's side floorboard, cleaned out the bed. Tomorrow I'll haul off a lot of trash from back there.

Cleaning out the bed did a couple of things: it gave me more storage space for new truck parts, I found aftermarket parts I didn't realize I had, and I was able to get ahold of more cardboard.
