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

Re: What did you do to your truck today part III
I finally figured out that it was this ill placed washer:
https://photos.smugmug.com/Cars/1965...09606_a-XL.jpg was the cause of the intermittent drivetrain shudder and noise I've been chasing down since I got the truck running two years or so ago. Solving that without pulling the transmission back out makes me a happy boy. |
Re: What did you do to your truck today part III
TJ, are those Langdon's cast iron headers you are using? Or are they Clifford?

Re: What did you do to your truck today part III
Nevermind, they look to be Clifford.

Removed the 307 yesterday and today installed the 350 I put together for my car. Wanted to swap some stuff on the 307 and figured I'd drop this one in for fun/testing. 10.3:1 compression, Vortec heads, $100 Perf RPM copy intake, 214/224 white box cam. Basically a cheap clone of the 350HP GMPP circle track crate engine with another point of compression.

I snapped a picture of the driver's side. One shows that the construction isn't very good, as you can see through to the ground in two spots. They both show that the blend from the front of the fender to grille support is off. I don't know if that's because of the fender or the grille/truck. The truck ran into, or had been hit by, some horizontally fixed object just above the bumper on the passenger side, which smashed in the fender, grille support, and grille, and I attempted to pull the grille support back into place. It wouldn't be fair to judge the passenger side. I'll know better once I bolt everything in place. |

I had the tailgate letters and the area between the the chome on both sides of the truck handpainted in metallic silver today. I think it compliments my chevy tahoe grey interior seats.

Re: What did you do to your truck today part III
Finished removing the doors from the Stahl utility body on my '66. Tomorrow they go for sandblasting, then the fun starts of fixing/replacing the rusted out areas. This one is not bad but some are a bit worse for the wear.

Sprayed the firewall and frame with Raptor bed liner. Looks great and easy to spray.

Drug this '64 out from it's resting place for the last 16 years. Amazingly enough, the tires were still aired up! I'll have it home this weekend.

Got the timing right and tested the overdrive trans to see if it works.

Finally got time to get the glove box back together with a new insert.
Broke down and pulled off the back bumper. I realized the lights "issue" could likely be replaced with ATV or motorcycle lights. I'm going to work on finding them. Also, needed the bumper off to pound out a dent in order for the rear driver wheel to have more clearance as well as attempt to get the top bolt off the rear shock. It has been "stubborn" so far. |

Not today but Monday, pulled it out of its resting place for the last 9 years and brought home.
Bought it as a non runner, but got it running Wednesday evening. |
Re: What did you do to your truck today part III
Was finally able to get the cab off to do some rust repair today. I put some new cab supports in also. It's not much but it sure feels good to get some new parts welded in.

Re: What did you do to your truck today part III
Figured out that the aftermarket AM radio that was in the old truck when I got it actually works. It's so old, it was made in Japan, not China. :lol:

Re: What did you do to your truck today part III
I took the truck out for it's maiden voyage (sense it was painted). I have not driven it for over a year and a half. The doors rattled like crazy but I think that is because the whether stripping is falling off. The inside door handle also fell of but that is not a big deal.
Sorry no pictures. |
