I just got power steering installed on my '66 with a 250 6 cylinder, but I used a used pump, so this weekend I hope to replace that pump with a new one. Hopefully, that will correct the issue of not having power steering at idle.

Sorry to sound as if I'm talking to a newbie, but I've seen it happen to even highly-experienced mechanics.

Again, you scored big time, and I'd bet the components will happily surprise you as well!

I am a noob, so thanks for the heads up. From what I understand, a reverse pump will have a smooth pulley. But if I am reusing pulleys, how do I know that the pump I buy will be reverse pump? I guess when I get to that point, the parts computer at the store will tell me hopefully. Months away, though.

Welcome to the forum. Sounds like you guys have a lot of fun work in the near future. Post up some pictures of the trucks and the shop when you get a chance. Good luck!

Not so much what I did today, but over the summer. With colder weather moving in, I am pretty much done working on my truck for the year. I have managed to get quite a lot accomplished though and am pretty psyched to think that by next summer I should be driving it. I have all new brakes plumbed and added a new booster and master cylinder. I installed a new intake and carb and fired up the 350 for the first time. I was like a little kid at Christmas when I heard it come to life for the first time. (Really loud though with only the exhaust manifolds)! I have all the wiring fixed and all the lights and gauges work. I installed a new aluminum radiator, as well as new u-joints and a carrier bearing.

If I owned it, with that under-hood being such a BEAUTY and it not drivable yet, I'd get a friend to come lock down my hood and hide my keys--to keep me from being tempted to drive it ANYHOW! Nice work, rcg66.

It must have jumped in the bed when I wasn't looking. Can I keep it?

Did the headlight relay upgrade today. Found some real nice relays along with a metal bar designed to hold up to 4 relays at Junkyard Barbie. Used threaded rivets to install a good portion of the items, pretty nice tool.

This is what I did FOR my truck today.

I scored an unbelievable deal on some old school aluminum slots. I can't wait to see them after I polish them. Here's a sample area.

Yes indeed. Right off of a bus. Needs a good sanding or better yet -sandblasting. I also scored an UNBELIEVABLE GMC hood. Wanna see? More pics of the shopping trip on my website - see signature.

That's a great score! Can't wait to see them polished up. I'd like some six lug slots
