Got my power brake booster installed. Used booster off a 2002 S-10 truck with Captain Fabs bracket. All fit very well.

Back in 77 I had a black one. Always thought of refurbishing it back then.

Every time I see a skylark, I think of the movie My Cousin Vinny.

Re: What did you do to your truck today part IV
build a little heat shield so I can stop putting my hand on the radiator when I open the hood...
Just scrap materials, but it kind of fits the build.... https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...b81be3a77b.jpg and played around a bit with some badges... https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...3e8f09158d.jpg https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...27ab792a3b.jpg |

I didn't like the brake booster hose running across my valve cover. I wanted to keep the engine looking clean. So I made a steel line to run brake booster vacuum. I got a 3/8" steel line from O'reilly's and using a piece of wire made a pattern of the how I wanted to run the hose around valve cover. I then bent the line to fit. I removed all the paint from steel line with a wire brush on bench grinder. Then I dimpled the ends and polished it up with some rouge on polishing wheel. Routed it in and viola!

Test ran engine (Again) this past weekend and yesterday. Now that it’s all “dry” after new rear main seal - got the cab back on today. Using temporary breathers and radiator at the moment.

One of the best things about having a white truck is it doesn't show tons of dirt...one of the best things of having an old truck that not much was done in ways of body and paint work is I can wash it and not worry about drying it. So today I washed it for the first time since it's been back on the road. Going to cars-n-coffee in the morning and had to clean old girl up some...to play with the Vettes and Porsches of the area. :D

Re: What did you do to your truck today part IV
I made a shifter boot. This one has a cushion backed vinyl and it 's better at blocking the noise emanating from the hole in the floor than plain vinyl. I also put pipe wrap on the stick inside. :) Not easy to sew a cone when you have practically zero experience with a needle and thread but you can find dang near anything on YouTube.
