Half way through installing a set of gauges. Next free weekend I'll finish them off. Just need to plug in the oil pressure and the lights

Installed these. I used to have some really rusty West Coast junior mirrors on, changed to smaller stock ones. Decided I didn't like the look nearly as much on my C20, and I couldn't see chit. Love these with the chevrons, but they still need a little tweaking and adjusting. Also, I have a lot of old holes to weld up. On to brake troubleshooting.

Re: What did you do to your truck today part III
I touched up the paint behind the grill. I didn't like seeing the white and red thru the white grill. Painted with rattle can semi-flat.

Re: What did you do to your truck today part III
I cleaned the old 6 banger to try and determine where all the oil leaks are. This exposed some casting numbers which after consulting the database on here, told me this isn't a 230 like I thought, it's in fact a 250 produced from 68 to 84. Holy crap, learn something new every day!

Last night I installed the front bumper after painting. My truck was black with gray scallops but I've given her a makeover. I may add red scallops.

Reversed my rear bumper, will have to see if it grows on me. I do like the nice straight line on top now.

Took my '56 out of the garage so I could see how the 1.5 inch drop springs and 2in drop spindles look, also decided to sweep the floor before I put back inside!

Re: What did you do to your truck today part III
Well, I tried to install my rear back window but I, apparently, am an idiot. Couldn't get past the corners without tearing the seal, which I did. Going to have the local glass shop. They did a great job on my windshield.

built new throttle linkage from the stock pedal mechanism to the Rochester Quadrajet. Ended up being really simple which was nice for my first engine swap
|
Re: What did you do to your truck today part III
Make sure you are getting full throttle. I had the same set up and could not get full throttle out of it.

I decided to add some color to the firewall while I'm doing my LS swap.
Before: http://i266.photobucket.com/albums/i...psnvpudpcf.jpg During: http://i266.photobucket.com/albums/i...psxfr7lxvh.jpg After: http://i266.photobucket.com/albums/i...pszkzjx2zr.jpg It needs one more coat to make it look even all the way across but I ran out of the paint that I was using, I pick up some more on the way home. Should be able to get another coat on in the 24 hour recoat window. |
