Thanks. I like yours, too. :metal:

Re: What did you do to your truck today part IV
 

I suppose your local laws may be different but as far as I know, an unloaded long rifle/shotgun in a gun rack with a lock is totally legal in CA. Mine has a cable that goes through the trigger guard and a lock behind the seat. The only thing I would worry about is theft and it is a reason to pull you over to make sure you're legal. I do live in a more rural area (Fallbrook) and there is an outdoor rifle range about 8 miles away in Rainbow. Burbank may not be as laid back.

That is a beauty!!! wow, great work

Re: What did you do to your truck today part IV
 

Thanks! The rifle is also a '65 model. :lol:

back on the road again but I did get the cab on and wired dash while we were home

Re: What did you do to your truck today part IV
 

Changed the oil in the GMC and then had to have some fun. Ol 305 v6 ain't the fastest, but it still puts a smile on my face.
0-55 in 17 seconds. lol

Yeah, but be real careful when you get to 88mph........things liable to happen

Re: What did you do to your truck today part IV
 

I've had it up to 85......motor was not happy. lol Not doing that again unless I can find more gears. :gmc2:

Re: What did you do to your truck today part IV
 

If you have a DANA 44, you can get new Ring and Pinion at Precision Gear. I went from 3.92 to 3.23 does MUCH better. I replaced all the bearings on the shafts and cleaned the entire assembly.

Re: What did you do to your truck today part IV
 

I would, but I still tow with mine. I'm thinking about a 2 speed road ranger od or an NV4500.

Re: What did you do to your truck today part IV
 

I sold my truck.... Bitter sweet, but I need something better for the Family. Going to go look at an 02 Suburban later....

Re: What did you do to your truck today part IV
 

I have been think of doing the same in my 62. I changed to the T5 and it is much better but I still think the rear end is holding it back. I can get 70 to 75 but its pushng it. How much better is those gears? Do you still have good take off and power? How good is it on the HWY?

Re: What did you do to your truck today part IV
 

I'm not a racer so I don't really gauge it like that, but with the 305 V-6 I needed to do it so I was not screaming at 3000 rpm at 65.

Re: What did you do to your truck today part IV
 

I finished up the latest work to bring the truck up to max reliability. Complete parking brake install. Swapped handle, cable, fabbed mid cable mounts, new rear cables, installed all the pieces inside the drums. Adjusted, it works perfectly. A nice convenience and safety add on.

Rebuilt the carb. Starts instantly now, lots more acceleration power. Bumped the timing a bit, too, while I was at it.

Good to have it running well.

Re: What did you do to your truck today part IV
 

I tried changing the location of my license plate. I was wondering what you all think?

Re: What did you do to your truck today part IV
 

forestb if you can get away with it I think it's awesome.

Re: What did you do to your truck today part IV
 

I also was able to drive the truck for the first time on the freeway with the new 700r4. Vary happy 😊

Finally got the engine back together with the new camshaft kit from CompCams. Nothing wild, just a replacement for the worn out one that left me stranded last month.

^installed new cam kit

SHE'S ALIVE!!! https://youtu.be/26ZDzVYPUbw
After realizing i put the dizzy in backwards again, did the same thing for the first engine start up, she fired right up. We ran her through the COMPCams break-in procedure with only one hiccup. I hadn't fully tightened the distributor after spinning it around and it walked the timing way back to where it was backfiring real bad. I tighten it back down in the right spot and ran her 25 min between 2000-3000rpm, varying ever few minutes.

Installed the Sissy Box under the dash.......

Re: What did you do to your truck today part IV
 

Ooh! I want me one of those! Did I mention, I am female :) Seriously, I have not seen such a thing. Is it a factory Kleenex box? My mother has this obsession with always having tissues available, that would be just the ticket. Where did you get it?

Re: What did you do to your truck today part IV
 

This is a quick search on eBay, where I found mind. if you have a Chevy, they have them with the proper badges, but nothing technical correct for GMC, so I found a generic one with no badging. The make a few styles, you need to look for a "swing out" type, they make a pull out type but it would mount to the underside of our dashes.

Re: What did you do to your truck today part IV
 

Ha! You're doing exactly the same thing I am doing this week.

I got my wood from Mar-K and it's Pecan.

It takes forever though, staining it with the spar... thinning down the first few coats and then putting pull strength coats on, each side.

It's been taking at least 12 hours for each coat to dry (the thinned coats are drying faster, of course).

Re: What did you do to your truck today part IV
 

I replaced the rockers on my pickup. They turned out good, but I'm glad I don't have to do that again!

Re: What did you do to your truck today part IV
 

Replaced the master cylinder after 2 years of pumping brakes.
Flushed and bleed them 2 days ago with fresh BF and then replaced MC this morning. Stops awesome now!

Re: What did you do to your truck today part IV
 

replaced the mechanical fuel pump with an electronic one....because I thought I needed a new fuel pump. Turns out, I was just out of gas. Didnt realize how much gas would evaporate from not driving it for 2 months.

I patched up the extra holes in my high and installed it. Used rivnuts to so it can be removed as needed.

Re: What did you do to your truck today part IV
 

I replace my wiper blaids with a set of 12" Champion blades. I hade to buy a hole assembly and take it apart to use only the rubber. I hade to do a little cutting to make them slide in but they look like they will work well.

I also used a d-ring to lock my column shirt linkage in park (as a society measure). With the hood locked you can't take the truck out of park. I am also trying to figure out a way to lock my steering column inside the engine compartment.

Fortunately I have a steering knuckle on my column so I don't have to drill a hole.
