Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

Scored some great parts from otsenre. What a great guy! While I was talking with him met another forum member 454Stepside. What a great bunch of guys we have on this forum. I scored a clean 68 grill w/ stainless loops and light buckets, front bumper with brackets, and some small parts fro 180.00 from otsenre. Great deal I think. Went down the road a few miles and scored a brand new GM(not repop), rear sport bumper for $55. Then I came home and cleaned all the greasy fingerprints off her.

I think I'll head to the package store for some adult beverages.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

This weekend I put in my brake booster, finished with the dash panel, hooked up the the new gauges, water, oil and volt meter.

Also cut the back bumper off today becouse someone welded a 80's bumper to the frame. Looks 10 times better now. Also installed a cd player in my truck to day. It was a good day.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

Fabbed up some steel lines and rubber hoses and reconnected the fuel lines (with a filter now, it had none before) and vacuum advance line in the engine compartment. Installed a new air filter. Fiddled with the idle mixture and speed and drove it up and down the street a few times. No noticeable leaks or gas smell; this is always a good thing.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

I installed an OG 69 Guide Right side turn signal lens that I found on eBay. The old one was broken and then patched up with epoxy that yellowed.

I put a cigarette lighter into the socket. I bought a lighter assembly that came from a GMC from tll74 on this here site. I needed a lighter to fill the empty hole in the dash. It matches my Chebby just fine.

i havent got to touch or dirve my truck for a week... :(... gas is to expensive

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

Replace a bad exhaust/intake gasket on my 250 L6. There was an exhaust leak that sounded terrible. I repainted my shorty headers since they were off.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

You can say that again about the gas, it nuts over here, we are paying $1.18 per litre (there is about 41/2 litre to a gallon here) do the math..it bites.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

Found out my trans filler tube is leaking at the trans....

Now trying to figure out how to fix it...

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

Try to find one of the newer sleeve type seal filler tubes to replace the old O-ring style one on your truck. They run around $30 new.

I have made my own from junk yard donor parts when I couldn't get a new one to fit my needs. Cut off the sleeve type seal from the donor part and weld it to the original O-ring type tube. You have to cut some length off of the original tube to seat the seal properly and get the right fluid level reading.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

Pulled the tired 350 and 465 trans out of my stepside this afternoon. Also sprayed down the engine bay and un bolted the radiator support. Makin some progress!
