Put all new shocks and sway bar end links in the 98 S10. Man she rides so nice now since the old ones were wore out and the end links were broke.

I finally finished up the brake lines on my 72 today and got the fronts bled out good, lot of air in the line going too the rear. I put lines running down to bottles on the rear and cracked the bleeders open, go back and check on it tomorrow. I did drive it around the field out back a couple laps and over across the road to the church lot. The old 307, will light the right rear easily. Still going to have to rebuild the carb to get it running smooth and plugs and wires. Won't be much longer till I can atleast get it on the road!

vintage air unit mocked up and 71-72 pedal conversion

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

I bolted the brake pedal assembly and steering column in my bare cab. Now all the parts I own are installed on my truck... oops almost. I own a super track bar and a shock re-locator kit but no chassis so those will have to wait. :)

With the nice weather today I drove, drove it, and drove it some more!
Second verse same as the first for Sunday!

So in order to work on my truck I 1st needed to dig it out from where it has slowly become a work bench so to speak.. I have so many projects stacked on top of it that its gonna take awhile just to get the projects complete in order to free her.So here is where I started..

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

Started a project that I kinda stole from another board member... I saw these pics so I started getting material together for it should have it finished today and be able to move onward towrds the truck.. The 1st pics are from another boardmembers shop and mine are on the bottom..

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

last one

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

Picked up my chassis, engine crossmember and trailing arms from the sandblaster. Then, we started cleaning the upper/lower control arms by soaking them in a soapy degreaser solution, followed by a power washing. Then, I disassembled the rear brakes on both sides, down to the backing plates. We pulled the cover off of the rear axle, in preparation to pull the axle shafts and replace the 42-year old axle seals....the right one has been leaking ever since I got the truck in '99, and was the reason that the brake would lock up in a hard stop situation.

Next weekend, we'll finish the control arm cleaning (after a week-long soak), and do some spot-sandblasting before we prep/paint them. Gonna paint the chassis, too.

The fun has begun...

Come to find out my brake lights have been staying on while I'm driving. Adjusted the brake pedal switched and did some more cruising around today.
Got lots of thumbs ups on the road. :chevy:

Put the GMC emblem that I found in a broken grill laying next to my mailbox in the tube grill in my 71.

I was going to weld up the holes in the hood but it's raining outside now.

The truck has a two headlight grill because I couldn't find a four headlight grill and front end when my aunt wrecked the truck 20 something years ago.

changed trans fluid and filter, had some beer, put new valve cover gaskets in, had some beer, pulled the diff cover and changed fluid, had a steak dinner and some beer, cleaned up the garage and logged on to this web site. What a busy day.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

I received my LED light Order from www.SuperBrightleds.com
So now every light on my Truck, (except the Headlights) are LED's.
Received my Marque Door Vent Grills from "Dreamers rods",
and my "Ignition Indicator" from Brothers.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

Installed the new stereo. Still waiting for the kick panels so I can install the front speakers. Turned out pretty good and I didn't have to cut my dash. Only bad part is the remote doesn't work thru the glovebox door. I was hopeing it would!
