Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

Dropped in my 350/th350 yesterday..Use to be a inline 6 with 3 speed Od. Now to figure why my 2 piece drivehaft is to short...And about 2 inches from even touchin the trans. Any ideas?

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

the l6 mounts sit further back on the crossmember than the 2wd v8 mounts. you can a) move the engine back to the rear holes, where the l6 was sitting b) get a th350 with the 9" tail housing c) lengthen the drive shaft

Took my CCP 3" drop springs out. Replaced them with factory ones with full coil cut. Put moog poly sway bar frame mounts in. Finally put my woodgrain trim piece for the tailgate on. Prepped and painted new radiator to replace the completely wrong one that's in the truck. Decided to take the old girl for a ride to get beer and tryout new suspension. Rides great now but needs drop shocks. The beer is good too :smoke:

Replaced the ball joints on the right front. Only took all day to get that done....didn't help that we were also working on my brother in law's truck also, and the 10 or more runs to the parts store for tools and/or other parts. But it's done now, and the wheel is nice a solid once again.

Hai guys, haven't been on in a while. Nice to see everybody is making some progress.

I was able to finally install the window my girlfriend got me for Christmas, a tinted sliding rear window.

Got the motor and tranny pulled and started swapping a few things over to the 292!!

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

finished turning my 72 into a flintstonesmobile. the driver's floor pan was pretty much toast, along with my driver's front cab support/mount. as you can see its no longer connected to the rocker. but at least the inner rocker panel is in great shape so i don't have to worry about patching/replacing it. but now i get to fight with the original cab mount bolt that goes under the driver's feet so i can get the cab support/mount off and replaced. my question is do i need the plate that sat under the floor board where the bolt goes through for the mount? if not then i'm getting rid of it. if i do then i'm gonna make a new one. sorry for the hazy photo. friggen cell phones.

I watched it continue to rust.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

Installed new dash pad from LMC. Dashpad was actually boxed and is from DashesDirect. Installed hood letters "chevrolet" and installed new drop shocks (Monroes #5752, 8.625" compressed/ 12.75" extended)

Well today I spent more time ordering parts than doing actual work but I did manage pull 4 of my air valves out and all wiring out for replacement. Pulled the rear bags off since they are dry rotted and debated whether to change out the fronts too. Didnt have much more to do since im still waiting for a new gun for my MIG, plus i really didnt feel like working on the Painless kit so I used the time to accomplish some much needed toolbox re-organization and tool cleaning.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

I got my manual trans removed and my auto trans installed. It is so much funner to drive now!

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

I installed my Autometer water temp and trans temp in the factory cluster. I put the trans temp in place of the "amp" gauge for now, they never work anyway. ;) I also recalibrated my governor again (7th try) and think I might have a decent calibration for the first time.

I also installed a new Kenwood Excelon CD player, OE fog lamps and did an oil change on my Camaro... then went out to the Golden cruise night, great weekend.
