Got rid of these ugly humps on the radiator support, ran out of co2 for the welder so couldn't finish. Also sanded on the firewall a little bit.

I turned the psi way down on my sandblaster and blasted a spare fender just to see how it would do. Surprisingly it worked very well. No warping. Psi was about 50. Took longer than usual but I am happy with the results. I kept the media flowing almost parrarel to the panel, barely touching the panel. I am confident I can blast most of my panels this way.

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
 

Are those keys hanging from that little chain to the left at the bottom of the dash?

Speakin' of "hangin", you have some tasty stuff on your garage walls.

I've had a high power bogging situation for awhile now, but haven't really had time to address it until today (retired last Friday!). Turns out that the plastic cam that lifts the secondary jets when the secondary air valve opens was broken. I found two pieces in the channel between the secondary bores. I guess the rest went out the tail pipe. Air valve opens with no enrichment, truck slows down on full throttle. Lame. It'll be a ton quicker tomorrow. :burnout:

It up shifts too early, as well. Guess I'll have to replace/adjust the vacuum modulator. Second gear scratch for sure.

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
 

yes on the chain is a folding church key ,and the gas cap key and the tool box key . its hanging on the parking brake handle. I do need more wall space , I have another 200 caps that I have no place to hang them. and a lot more wall hangers that need to be hung up , but no room. wish I had a bigger shop to play in.

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
 

William once you get all the wood out , it not to bad from there on, mine came out real easy but my son was doing most of the work, we had it out in no time...putting it back in was really kind of fun , and that new wood looks great .

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
 

Hey Don, nice work on the new dash pad. I hope yours turned out a lot better than mine did. I wasn't too crazy about how mine fit once I got it installed. It's too short on the ends & it's kinda flimsy feeling and dang sure doesn't fit like the original one did. I got mine from Brothers and I'm not real happy with it, but too late to do anything about it now. As most of us know, you have to gut the complete dash to remove & install a new dash pad in these old trucks.

I agree, once all the old wood, strips & rusty bolts are out I am hoping the easy part is putting the new wood, strips and bolts back in. When my wood boards are finished getting milled & cut, I'm taking my truck out to a friends shop & we are going to use his car lift to lift the bed off the frame & torch the remaining rusty bolts off. That will make it so much easier!

Congratulation on retiring.

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
 

After a SPID-ectomy, I took RAT for a ride to the local slop-shop for lunch.
Seems that every time I look at the SPID, I have to make a new one due to some goofy mod I've made...or....
