FINALLY got our 1949 engine jerry-rigged onto our engine stand! Can't wait to take it apart, clean it, and get it running again :D

I also got really bored when the power went out and created this fun way to stay motivated:

Hahaha!! That is what the "must" is for. There is no backing out :lol:

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
 

Got up at 5a.m. and dropped the motor and trans in before the heat. Its 7:30 now and already 84.

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
 

Looks good crossfire84 with BB thier should be no shortage of torque or power. I live about 100 mi. north of you and found if I work with doors and windows closed fan running at floor level the humidity and heat isn't as bad.

:lol:Getting ready for some overhead welding.:lol:

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
 

thanks for the tip!

Scored a Presmog Qjet off a running truck for $30, it even came with the choke heat dog house (that I bought for my Chevelle for $20). Cleaned it up and will install tomorrow. This replaces the one I had put on it, but pulled when the Chevelle Holley went Tango Uniform. Also figured out the AC, just need to get a couple of bulkhead fittings and I can get the hoses done and the unit installed.

nothing, too darn hot, went to a local car show. here are a few shots.

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
 

I looked at it.And tryed to introduce my wife to the DA sander, didn't have much luck though:lol:

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
 

Really I just took some pictures. I finished the welding on the coil-over mounts and cleaned the rear end up a little yeasterday.

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
 

Looking sharp mknittle

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
 

Lookin' Good. What brand of coilover are you going to use?

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
 

Thanks Rollenhard and chevette


Chevette,
I am using QA1 Alumamatics with 250# springs.

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
 

It's 96 here, still too hot to do any outside work but I did get my radiator overflow tank installed. This tank is out of a Ford van (can I use that word here, LOL) I just wandered around Pull-A-Part until I saw one that looked like I wanted. It fits good and only took a couple of "L" brackets to bolt it up. I also got a windshield washer bottle and pump out of an S-10 but haven't installed that yet.

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
 

I turned it upside down.

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
 

Yes, nice tools, cold beer (kept cold in one's beer fridge, stationed in the garage). Just wish the neighbors didn't like nice tools and cold beer so much. What brand of plasma cutter do you have. Mine is a Miller 675 Extreme. It works well. Good luck with your hood.

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
 

Dug out the stock window and door parts to start cleaning and fabing for one piece windows.

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
 

I'd like to see some pics of that procedure. I have the one piece glass and the power assembly, but I don't have the channel and the seal/whiskers. I'll be paying attention and begging for pics.;)

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
 

I saw one that used hatch gas cylinders.

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
 

I am planning on looking at the truck through the kitchen window while drinking iced tea. Too blasted hot out and looking for 106 today in S Indiana. I did do some bed wood work this morning from 7-8:30.
