Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

I buttoned up the rear end cover and added new oil (pics 1/14 before, 2/26 after). I've been able to determine that I have an Eaton H052 with a 4.10 gear ratio mostly by searching the Forum archives. One good thing about leaks, they act as an excellent applier of rust preventative to external surfaces.

Then I installed a new shock absorber on the passenger side cuz I had left it for later and later was today.

Then I put 2 1/2 gallons of gas in the tank.

Then I installed a new PCV valve and cleaned out the flame arrestor and crankcase vent hoses.

Then I found all the air cleaner parts I had stored away and cleaned them.

Then I washed away most of the crud around the fuel pump and removed all the mickeymouse fuel lines from the outlet of the line from the tank to the carb. I found no fuel filter, kinked steel lines, swollen rubber, patchwork hose clamps and so on and so forth.

the temp was sitting at 06 Degrees F outside this morning I went out and looked at it and came back in the house. It is supposed to be above freezing tomorrow and I'll pull the starter and rebuild it then.

vent lines

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

where do they go because they appear to just run up the inside skin of the cab?

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

i posted a lmc catlog pic in your thread;)

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

yeah i saw that. makes me wonder what the purpose of looping up around like that and then run out of the cab, rather than just running out of the cab

Re: What did you do to your truck today!

Pushed my '70 from it's 5 year parking spot behind my house and in front of my garage, spent the day chasing down parts for my cobbled up exhaust system, installed headers, exhaust and mufflers. It was 9 pm when I finally finished. Tomorrow I hope it starts, cause I want to drive it to the Legends get-together,...

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

fixed the fuel leak by replacing the fuel hose with a metal fuel line, alsofound out that i need to replace the power steering belt, and might as well change the alternator belt while i am at it. also chaged the fuel filter.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

Scored some great parts from otsenre. What a great guy! While I was talking with him met another forum member 454Stepside. What a great bunch of guys we have on this forum. I scored a clean 68 grill w/ stainless loops and light buckets, front bumper with brackets, and some small parts fro 180.00 from otsenre. Great deal I think. Went down the road a few miles and scored a brand new GM(not repop), rear sport bumper for $55. Then I came home and cleaned all the greasy fingerprints off her.

I think I'll head to the package store for some adult beverages.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

This weekend I put in my brake booster, finished with the dash panel, hooked up the the new gauges, water, oil and volt meter.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

Drove my 70 swb stepper about 150 miles today. Put new sun visor in. Got a new insterment panel out of a 2 and a half ton 70 grain truck wich has tach in it and thats where i got the visors from. Also cut the back bumper off today becouse someone welded a 80's bumper to the frame. Looks 10 times better now. Also installed a cd player in my truck to day. It was a good day.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

Fuel sending unit, spark plugs, and found a new grinding noise under the hood. I think it is water pump bearings.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

took out the bbc loaded it up for the new owner & told him now he just needs to buy a gas station :lol::lol::lol:

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

Fabbed up some steel lines and rubber hoses and reconnected the fuel lines (with a filter now, it had none before) and vacuum advance line in the engine compartment. Installed a new air filter. Fiddled with the idle mixture and speed and drove it up and down the street a few times. No noticeable leaks or gas smell; this is always a good thing.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

i see that glass gas filter imo i would loose that thing they are not good had bad exp with em and heard about many others that have also !! :chevy:
