Installed 1 ton brake booster, cleaned and painted the brackets and booster, replaced a wheel cylinder, and bled brakes. It stops alot better now!

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

I reassembled and installed the passenger side rear wheel hub/drum and axle. I removed the differential cover, drained the oil (yuck), and cleaned the cover, attaching hardware, and gasket surfaces. I counted 41 teeth on the ring gear and I didn't see any obvious damage.

Finished up fiberglassing my center console. Tomorrow I will be putting a layer of fiberglass bondo on it to smooth it out to the shape I am looking for.

Also did some work on my Radiator/Support Cover. The Primer is still a bit wet. but this gives you an idea of what it will look like.

I finally got an opportunity to drive it in the snow.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

Went and saw it at the shop, and after 6 weeks, the Interior Renovation is almost complete!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:metal:

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

Got the engine back in and running Tuesday night, took it for about a mile ride and put it back in the shop. Wednesday, took the complete rearend out, trailing arms,shocks and springs, and trailing arm crossmember. Today, I mock it all back up with the Porterbuilt crossmember and trailing arms, figure the coil-over shock mounting setup, make a template for the C-notch, and get stuff ready for powdercoating! That's about it!

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

let it warm up and pulled the poor thing outside in the freezing cold.... my poor truck now its prabably upset with me... We got so much snow it had to come out to put the wifes convertable camaro away...

Sounded so good yesterday i had to go out and warm it up and move it around some more... giggle giggle like a kid with a new toy...

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

Got my 2/4 drop installed. This weekend I will have the exhast all done. I will post pic's. It was a bit of wind so when I will get new pic's when it gets better outside.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

It's cold around here. I just stopped by the shop for a minute (at my daughter and son-in-law's place around the corner)
and installed the new air cleaner the Little Woman gave me for Hallmark Valentine's Day.

It's coming along. Another six or ten years, I should be done.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

^^^ That looks great!!

I put my new headers on today!

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

^^^ Hey brand and part number are those headers? They look awesome!

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

It looks like Slick67 and I have the same headers. I got mine when I bought the truck and an extra cab as a "pile 'o parts". So I don't know the brand. I DO know, with my set up, I had to notch the frame just a tad for clearance.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

the wiring inside my truck under the dash, and charged my battery.:uhmk:

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

installed a fan shroud on the 67

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

Installed the front sway bar with ECE drop mounts and polygraphite bushings. Very nice and easy with TXfirefighers FAQ. Worked on the rear drums. Got one side done. I will finish up the other side tomorrow. Then I will be done with these PITA drum brakes.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

That engine is gonna be sharp Magwa.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

I covered mine is dust but the weather looks pretty good so maybe I can get the dual electric fans installed.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

Finished the rear brakes, buttoned her up and drove her down to the local shop for a full alignment. My two boys drove with me and they loved it. It really does handle 100% better with the new springs and a swaybar.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

started to make a frame for my cab..

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

Got my chassis completely ready to go to the sandblaster. Whew! Gonna send the cross-members (engine and trans), the trailing arms and the control arms (U & L), too. Pix, later.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

went to load fresh pics of my new 3/4 ton to my album and found out I no longer have an album. cheers, Pat

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

pulled the bench seat out so i could look at the gas tank so i know what line i need to modify for my tpi conversion and make room for my buddy buckets that will be going back in. i also siphoned off about 4 gallons of gas to put in my tahoe since its running a tad low. here's a photo of the driver's floor pan. also can anyone tell me what these lines do or what they are for??

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

oh and i found the gas pedal pad under the old bench seat so i reinstalled it on the gas pedal

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

Finished welding up the c-notch, and boxing that rear section.Welded lower coil-over shock mounts to the rearend, and installed top crossmember and upper shock tabs. Realized I'm going to have to modify Porterbuilt crossmember for driveshaft clearance. That's it for today.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

Got my dash panel sanded and primed along with the glove box door and reattached it, did a little slicking to the roof, looking to shoot total cab this week.:metal:

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

Well, I drove my Blazer today!! Had a place to go, and drove my old girl about 75 miles. Trouble free, and the country music just a KICKIN! I had a great ride.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

Finished a week's worth blazer fun:

Installed new intake
Installed new (rebuilt) quadrajet
Installed new heate core

Finally installed new glovebox. (hadn't had one in years)

Funny thing is I got it all done and it even runs.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

Took out the clutch in my '67 C10 and found a 9" disk with a 10" plate. Doh

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

I buttoned up the rear end cover and added new oil (pics 1/14 before, 2/26 after). I've been able to determine that I have an Eaton H052 with a 4.10 gear ratio mostly by searching the Forum archives. One good thing about leaks, they act as an excellent applier of rust preventative to external surfaces.

Then I installed a new shock absorber on the passenger side cuz I had left it for later and later was today.

Then I put 2 1/2 gallons of gas in the tank.

Then I installed a new PCV valve and cleaned out the flame arrestor and crankcase vent hoses.

Then I found all the air cleaner parts I had stored away and cleaned them.

Then I washed away most of the crud around the fuel pump and removed all the mickeymouse fuel lines from the outlet of the line from the tank to the carb. I found no fuel filter, kinked steel lines, swollen rubber, patchwork hose clamps and so on and so forth.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

well i cleaned the bed out scrubbed some mold off the paint and drove it... wish it was wrmer i need to put plugs and wires in it too.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

the temp was sitting at 06 Degrees F outside this morning I went out and looked at it and came back in the house. It is supposed to be above freezing tomorrow and I'll pull the starter and rebuild it then.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

Painted my new motor.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

vent lines

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

where do they go because they appear to just run up the inside skin of the cab?

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

i posted a lmc catlog pic in your thread;)

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

yeah i saw that. makes me wonder what the purpose of looping up around like that and then run out of the cab, rather than just running out of the cab

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

I drove it:metal:

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

Pushed my '70 from it's 5 year parking spot behind my house and in front of my garage, spent the day chasing down parts for my cobbled up exhaust system, installed headers, exhaust and mufflers. It was 9 pm when I finally finished. Tomorrow I hope it starts, cause I want to drive it to the Legends get-together,...
