Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

I did cut a low hump cover the same border as big hump to install it in my truck.
I've a camaro floor shifter but the cable is short with the big hump and with the low hump i'll have about 2 1/2 inches and I expect now will move more smooth and soft.

Took the truck to cruise night and decided to adjust the timing once again to try and get rid of this damn stumble on low speed driving. Now sitting at 12BTDC and will get my vacuum gauge to adjust the idle mixture this week hopefully.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

Finally removed the dash pad for dyeing. Reinstalled the ignition switch. Removed some more PO wiring tangles. Mounted my door panel trim in preparation to mounting the door panels (powdercoated). Will be reinstalling the seat, seatbelts, ashtray, radio blockout. Removing the metal radio mount from under the dash. Probably going to a single, oil pressure only, gauge set-up. Slowly completing the interior. Soon will get back under the hood to correct some more wiring issues, then hit the road.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

Washed and waxed everything. Powerwashed the undercarriage and engine and bed. Now I drive it and save up for some nefty goodies.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

Bought some new Stainless Steel door sills with the chevy emblem on them to replace the chrome ones in there now that the passenger one is a bit rusty in one corner. Normally I would leave it but this year will be my first car show that I have a vehicle to enter and I want the truck as close to perfect as possible.

Here is a picture I found online of what it looks like.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

I cut the right rear corner off the bed for a buddy to use on his truck, then took the torch to the bed bolts and took it off the frame, found out there is a serious rust problem, but hey, that's what makes it a project right;).

Re: What did you do to your truck today!

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

Went outside this AM to my DD 68 started it backed up a few feet and it died.

Bad ?modulator? (half moon thing in dizzy) luckily I had a spare :)

Re: What did you do to your truck today!

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

I was actually thinking of selling it! And I am looking for a new one too! Anyone here would like to give me any suggestions on what to buy next?

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

well for the last few days I have been doing body work inside the bed. and on it to get it finished where i am happy enough. I went and laid some paint this week and here is what so far I have come up with. dont mind as some of the paint is still wet but it gives a good look IMO I also will be spraying the center section gloss black in a few days. and dont mind I still have some minor body work to do.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

Starting to dismantle the front clip to replace the drivers side fender and hood. Got the grille, trim, and cowl pulled tonight before it got too dark...

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

adapters/spacers and new draglite wheels and new dunlope tires... finished undercoating

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

Final prep for paint tailgate and hood. Got drivers' door half way there. Tomorrow paint. The next day 5 years and an unknown amount of hours and money will turn an obsession into reality

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

Painted the firewall and inner fenders. Pressure washed it, scrubbed it and sprayed it all black. My buddy has a paint gun, and he had some extra black paint. I just bought a little paint thinner and taped her up... Not exactly a 100% attention to every little detail here, but I didn't want to pay a shop to do it.

Before, during and after pics ...

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

I pulled the cowl panel off getting ready to unbolt the front end. Cut the back bumper off and that later model bumper and push bar off. I removed the front panel from the rusty bed I pulled the other day, it is perfect. I'm gonna have to replace the back half of the frame it's swiss cheese. I did find a donor, just haven't got it yet, price is right trading scrap for scrap! You know what they say one man's junk is another man's treasure!

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

Cleaned up/painted the tranny. Test fit/adjusted the new Lokar shifter so i don't have to do it when its in. Bolted tranny to motor....its going in tomorrow!!!!!

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

Bought a Gas Tank Carpet Kit and a Fiber Board Cover.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

Adjusted the electric choke and dialed in the mixture screws. Found out they were not adjusted the same as recommended in the Holley manual and adjusted off a bit too.

Truck runs better, but still has a bit of a stumble when idling the truck down a street and trying to step on it. Not always there but it bugs me.

I may bump the timing back up as I have it at 12 and find it cranks way more before it starts, but up at 14-16 it fires right up. Used to be 20 and ran good.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

removed the original Manual transmission mount. removed rusted drip rails from the cab, and removed some wheel locks from the wheels-without a key. Good pair of vise grips and a small sledge did the job

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

Drove it to deposit my check :-)

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

I made a gas cap. Well, I made it look a lil bit better. the gas cap i had was all chewed up and broken, so I decided to spruce it up a bit. I took an old glass door knob and drilled out the brass and threaded it to fit a bolt from the bolt bin. Then, i punched the guts out of the old cap. Jammed the knob into the cap and tightened the bolt down. Not super technical, but I think it looks cool.

Used her to move into the new place. Thats the upstairs of the 3 car garage in the background! :)

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

A little bit of clean up and a bit of paint to help the rest of the under hood look the the engine.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

added a old school steering wheel

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

Finally installed my stainless door sills and powdercoated door panels, also arm rests.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

Those door sills look the same as what I installed in my truck this weekend.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

was going to suggest timing...

bought a tach today...

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

It's at 16 now, adjusted the idle mixture ( was not adjusted properly) and adjusted the electric choke. So far so good. Haven't had much time to "test" it much the last few days.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

Finished putting the motor and trans in it, drove it .

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

Had the oil Changed, 4 Tranny Leaks fixed, Rear Tranny Tailshaft Seal replaced,and the Carb Rebuilt. Next week it goes into the shop to have the Lokar Billet Aluminum Gas Pedal and Throttle Cable installed.
Hopefully over the Summer I'm having a Satin Black paint put on it,
as what it has right now, is just a Generic Bumper Coat with no UV protection. I take a Layer off of it, each time I wash itr.:lol:

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

16, do you find it runs really good at 16, I have mine at 8 and had the same issues at you under throttle, little drop off, little pop then she goes. I went from 6 to 8 and it got better but still there. Many have suggested 13 or so, so I need to try that...

anyways, drove the truck today and my son who is about to get his permit drove the truck for the first time today.... after all it will be his ride for high school :metal: His grin was worth every minute of it, even know he made me nervous. LOL . Then came home and finished touching up the wheel wells with black paint..

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

Hmm pulled the 350 crate motor out of the '72 Blazer. Just need to finish tearing apart my '72 Sierra and take the 402 BBC out of it and then put it in the Blazer :D

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

The truck originally was at 20 and ran pretty good other than that stumble. So now that the mixture and choke are adjusted, 16 is pretty good. I may go to 14 but I may also leave it like this once I can get a good test drive in.
