Re: What did you do to your truck today!
Changed the motor mounts in my 70. What a gigantic PITA!
Hope to get the headers and exhaust system in tomorrow and get it to the shop so they can work on my tranny and brakes. Hope to have it ready for the Legends Get-Together next Sunday. |

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
Added a new Antenna and ran wire for speakers today. Nothing too crazy but a major pain to take out the glovebox liner without ruining it.

Son and I gave up on trying to use the angle grinder with wire brush to get rust off...too many places are hard to get to. So, we decided to get it sandblasted. Then, we started pulling the front end off, so we can get as much of it blasted as possible. Still gotta pull the lower control arms/shafts, then the crossmember. Next week, we're gonna finish that part, then pull the rear end/trailing arm ass'y.

I reassembled and installed the passenger side rear wheel hub/drum and axle. I removed the differential cover, drained the oil (yuck), and cleaned the cover, attaching hardware, and gasket surfaces. I counted 41 teeth on the ring gear and I didn't see any obvious damage.

Finished up fiberglassing my center console. Tomorrow I will be putting a layer of fiberglass bondo on it to smooth it out to the shape I am looking for.
Attachment 704553 Attachment 704554 Also did some work on my Radiator/Support Cover. The Primer is still a bit wet. but this gives you an idea of what it will look like. Attachment 704555 Attachment 704556 |
