I had a good day cleaning every nook and cranny on this 71 frame. The rear crossmember I thought was interesting. I am going to look but I bet it is part of the serial number.
Have a Blessed day |

Getting her ready for a LY6 and 6 speed auto swap. Cleaned every nook and cranny only to find that I needed a wire brush and scraper.
Look at the rear crossmember, this is a first for me to see. |

Installed a temporary front fender and made some brackets for the front turn signals so I will be able to drive my truck while several parts are off at the body shop. Waiting for a new cam to arrive so I can finish the Vortec head upgrade.

I like the black and white hounds tooth. I have the black vinyl brocade that is just too hot in summer, and it's all split out. I want to replace the cover, but I ain't going back to black if I can help it. I'll show my wife this pic.

Rebuilt the top end of the steering column yesterday. My truck had a broken hazard switch when I bought it and never replaced. Put in new levers, signal/hazard, and indicators. Only issue was a I mangled the end thread with the puller, so I'm currently trying to figure out to best rectify. Still need to correct the indicator position as well.

Transmission leaks fixed (shift shaft and Speedo gear) - though I didn't do it myself. Replaced signal mech, hope that nails my short/blowing fuse and after replacing all the screws, inserts, and springs I did a very early morning headlight adjustment a bit ago! Nice to have a morning drive in the truck :-)
Oh and for a nice little topping, noticed my antenna was loose and moved, so I adjusted that when I got home. |

They were not cheap, I love them and consider it money well spent. I can see until the next day and when the brights are on, I see until next year LOL. Great service too, as I had one where the low beam went out. They send me a new light, then asked me to send a photo of the one I took off with the power line cut from the transformer. Real nice guys out there. |

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
yep, I installed it a few weeks back, no more extra juice running through the Dash / Light Switch :-)

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
A nice thing about the relays is that the voltage drop from the headlights is gone, and the marker and tail lights are brighter.

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
Ordered bed wood kit from Mar K. They have them 20% off through 2/11 guys.

New crate motor on the way to replace former new crate motor. It appeared to have been dropped at some point and took out the intake manifold on one end and flex plate on the other. Should have the new motor at the shop Wednesday and the truck back in the garage Friday.

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
Sounds like I should start looking into that relay mod. My LED headlights are cheap & haven’t acted like they are giving me any problems, but I’d rather not stress the headlight switch. Plus, those Dapper units look closer to stock than the ones I have in now.

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
I do love my dapper headlights - looked long and hard on what I wanted to install for headlights. They are not cheap but that became a non-issue once I started to use them! I think they look fabulous... IMO they don't look silly or out of place. Just F'n bright as the surface of the sun ;-)
I installed all my LEDs (only the gear shifter bulb hasn't been switched to LED) and I didn't notice any real drop at night before I installed the relay mod. I just knew I wanted to do it - it just makes simple sense using relays and not running any extra current through all the wiring/dash switch. I have on my list to do the same kind of relay mod for the starter too (have a M.A.D. kit already in my garage waiting to be installed). |
