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

over the weekend i got my tail,back up,and front turn sig/drive and plate lights finished up.

today it was sand,sand,sand.rear bumper & headlite bezels.(searched my stash for hours too find the 8 correct screws for these headlite bezels):lol:

I wanna get all the white(526)sprayed this weekend.(i still need too blast & prime my ringed/painted gas cap too do so)busy busy busy....

but on the other hand i went too pull the truck out the other weekend and my choke cable broke...wtf.
the coated/spiral sheathing broke off the solid tube that screws too the dash/bezel.it must've been flexed too much at some point.I thought about trying too weld it together. but that could be tough.
what a pita. if its not one thing its another.

been lookin on the parts b with no luck.the cables at the auto stores dont have the threads too be able too screw a oe chrome bezel nut on too. gotta have that.;)

All I did yesterday was spray Rust Treatment from NAPA onto the hood latch. I had finally derusted it to my minimal liking.

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

Finally finished! almost, I still have to get the other two carbs fuel line made up, I just wanted to get the bugs out with just one carb, I took it for a 5 mile drive to see how things were. Temp stayed below 190, oil pressure was fine, I have to drive it more to get the rings seated. I'm cleaning up the underside of the hood before I put it on. I'm a happy guy!

348 tri-power :c2:

Since you're working, Redline:

Loaded up two old laser printers, a parts bicycle and about ten big cardboard boxes (all broken down).
Fit 'em all under the tonneau. Headed to recycle the first of the week.

Needed to make some room in the garage and the truck bed for RAT's new "spare tire".

Bought truck last Friday. Had bad oil leak. Discovered valve cover bolts weren't even finger tight. Bought the rubber gaskets with the metal frame and new bolts, then torqued to 60 inch pounds as called for in gasket instructions. Leak gone!

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

fixed my broken choke cable.
nobody said it was a easy fix lol.
i didnt know that the tube had a seem and the sheathing was crimped into the tube.
so i split the end of the tube open and peeled some of the plastic coating off
the sheathing.
then i snipped the broken part off and recrimpped it back in. a very small tack weld will keep it in place for good.
not shown is i also welded a small bit on the knob end filed and rethreaded it so the knob will not pull off anymore:metal:

also got most of the (526)white sprayed the nason paint was really thin and transparent it took a few coats.

also installed a heater box cover from a c/50 pretty cool ad on. i didnt realize the black cover was so hard too see till i uploaded the pic :lol:
