22nd attempt at getting my signal/brake light issue fixed and changed oil

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

Put in a corvette servo in my 700R4 and took for a drive. 1-2 shift is much better now, not hard by any means but at least I don't have to let up on the pedal when it shifts.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

Well I finished putting my rear brakes back together and filled my diff with fluid. What a pita it was getting the fill plug out, somebody put a cast plug in for the original, it wouldn't budge so it broke into several different pieces. Had to heat it with a torch to get it out. Then I finished the routing the pipes on my side exhaust where they exit in front of the tires and grinded down all the welds.

working on the 59 dash install http://dads 035

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

Crazy thing about those '59 dashes...as wide as they were, don't you have to narrow it to put it in our trucks? There's a guy near here who put a dash from a '59 Edsel in his '68. He had to widen it to make it fit.

I said that because I remember how wide they seemed to be when they were new. Dad bought a '59 Ford, while my cousin bought a '59 Impala HT. When I started driving, it was on the Ford.

Back in the day, there was some scuttle about having to add marker lights on the fins of the Chevy. Seems it was just under the width limit.

Oh, I like it.

But, on my truck...son and I reattached the engine cross member and the trailing arms. Waiting on the upper/lower control arms so we can get some ball joints and start that phase. But, we worked on it for a change.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

Belive it or not I had to add about 5" to the dash but that could of been from the way it was cut out of the donor car. It was a ebay deal, Next time I will ask for more pic. for sure. I leaarned to drive a stick in an old impala in the driveway .So It will be cool to look at that dash again ! But I have a long way to go to be driving this one:waah:

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

I put my stepside box on!

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

Ordered some parts last night, to get my motor really tuned in. Right now its just a little rich lol. Ordered a jet and rod kit for my Edelbrock 650 Thunder series carb, a timing tape, and some distributer advance weights and springs for the MSD HEI on my motor, oh and a vaccum gauge. Hope to lean out the idle so your eyes dont water when you stand beside it, and get some better gas mileage and get rid of the bog down when I put my foot to the floor. Gonna be a high octane weekend with some high speed blasts down a back road doing test and tune :metal:

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

Actually it was yesterday. Installed new set of MSD Ignition 8.5mm Super Conductor plug wires. Way better than the cheapo Accel Super Stockers I had in there before. :)

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

Over the last few days, I installed a new quick ratio steering box, new power steering pump and a set of March pulleys, oh, and a Zoops power steering pump bracket.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

I haven't got much work done on the K10, sorry guys. I got busy with a transmission swap in my Monte Carlo. Hope to get the SS all sanded down and primed this weekend, then back to the Blazer gas tank install

Re: What did you do to your truck today!

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

Loaded a winter's worth of dead tree limbs, then proceeded to get stuck in the mud!

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

Replaced my hood hinges..No more headaches for me

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

Finally took the cab ALL the way off of my frame so I can start the body work. Got all of my pulleys shimmed and lined up. Stuffed my dip stick and tube in my transmission. Fell off a ladder. Cleaned up my garage.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

drove it for the first time !!!! what a thrill !!!

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

Finished grinding smooth all the welds on my exhaust and then laid down my first coat of por-20 silver exhaust paint. Has to dry for 24hrs before second coat can go on.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

Got after it pretty good this weekend.Friday I put in the battery tray I bought from the board to replace what was left of my old one.

Then, this morning, I went inside the cab, and laid on my head and surgically repaired shoulder for an hour and a half changing out the damn stoplight switch. My hands just couldn't get up there to loosen the top nut to drop it out. Turns out my trucks PO had crossthreaded it.

After about an hour of messing with it, I grabbed a pair of dikes and proceeded to cut at the old plastic until I could pull the bottom nut off. Once it was off I pushed the stump up through the hole and out.

In the end I won. My brake lights now only come on if you're actually pushing on the pedal (:gi:).

To treat myself after all that hard work, I took the 2 minutes to install the new park light lenses in the grill.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

Took my bed off with an engine hoist by myself, cut off the cab corner and trimmed the floor so i can install the new floor edge once i blast and strip everything that didnt rust itself to death. rust sucks

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

Replaced the turn signal due to adding a tilt steering column. Signals work, horn works, making progress slowly.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

Dismounted all the tires from the 70 and put them on my 83 (and vice-versa). Then I cleaned and rearranged the shop so I could fit & sorta work on both trucks. It's still crowded when the 83 is in there, but at least I can open both doors on the 83 and walk around the truck to do stuff.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

Mounted and wired my electric fans. I really hate wiring!!!

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
