Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Went to start the truck yesterday and nothing. So today I was doing a little diagnostic work and found the a few of the wires on the plug that goes through the firewall were fraid and broken. Then I spend the next two hours going to all the local parts stores trying to find new connectors with no luck. They just kept sending me on a wild goose chase. Came home and looked through my catalogs and still no luck. NAPA could order them for me but I have to buy a box of 50 for $35. Kinda stuck now. Anybody know where I can find 4 of these.

-Took the carb apart twice.
-Made some gaskets
-Finally got it running after found stuck float needle
-cleaned up the master cylinder
-bled the brakes (first finding an awesome nest in the wheel)
pretty good day

Well it was so freakin cold and windy I didn't get to swap on my rally wheels and new tires like I wanted so instead I used it to run around town some, peeling out a couple times (just cause I could) and then I used it as it should be to haul a trans and rearend from a buddies.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Try another NAPA nearby- I tried 3 in my area and finally found one that had some in stock, bought 10.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

I can finally post something here! I started cleaning the rear area of my Burb out. I found a ton of magazines, majority of which are still readable. A lot of National Geographic, some Wyoming Wildlife, and some other misc magazines. All from the late 60s to the early 80s. There was even a National Geographic from 1969...the issue from when we landed on the moon. There was some old parts too. Sorry I didn't take pics. I was just trying to make progress.

The Hood - Needs a little straightening, no rust at all.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
 

Today I machined a DD in my steering shaft, then cut a piece of stress proof and put a DD on that aswell. If I remember tomorrow I'll finish my rack standoffs so I can start to finish the steering. http://i73.photobucket.com/albums/i2...m/6f5e65f4.jpg
