Not that bad, just using a rebuild gasket kit.

Re: What did you do to your truck today part III
 

Sandblasted to bare metal, primed with rust stop primer and then rust stop gloss black. Can't wait to get the rest finished up.

Re: What did you do to your truck today part III
 

Washed and waxed for the first time in at least 25 years...

Re: What did you do to your truck today part III
 

Received my new Heater Core, none of the regular truck shops had them in stock. I found out that Rock Auto stocked them and I was able to get one for $60.79 with priority mail shipping the total was only $67.04, which is at least $40.00 cheaper than the various truck supply houses.

I have the large Deluxe heater core with the defrost system in my '60 GMC. The Rock Auto part number is 9010099. A really neat thing that Rock Auto does is show the measurements so you know you are ordered the correct one.

Spent some time cleaning of my junkyard find. The towel was white when I started. Engine de-greaser and a nylon brush seemed to do a fine job of getting that years of hand germs off of it.:metal:

Re: What did you do to your truck today part III
 

Pulled my valve cover and found a loose rocker (thankfully). Fixed that, and the engine is quiet like it should be. Set timing and idle. Put in fresh Rotella with a dose of ZDDP additive, and an oversized oil filter. Greased the front end. Enjoyed my now nice-driving truck that is finally running well, and has a lot more power than when I started.

Re: What did you do to your truck today part III
 

Popped the hood for the first time in a while today. Found some wicked carb leaks and the front seal on my blower needs replaced. But it's hot and I'm lazy so maybe next weekend. I did polish the wheels and bumper/grille. $50 and a Saturday and I'll be beating the truck some more.

Re: What did you do to your truck today part III
 

I bought new wipers, and then completely disassembled them to use the rubber to rebuild old wipers.

Re: What did you do to your truck today part III
 

Re-rednecked my sound system. First I dropped a pair of Sony house speakers in my truck box, then wired it up to the stereo system, using a set of house light switches to avoid being too obnoxious to the world. However, when I do need the noise, they'll come in handy.
