Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

took driver side fender off and worked on the other but there 4 bolts i cant take off giving me hell. hard to get to them the nut keep spinning they have that washer with lip on it cant get socket or wrench on them. whats the best way to get those off anyone????? not much but just start a couple days ago

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

:welcome2: to the forum from North Texas.

I had the same problem. I used a good penetrant like liquid wrench and locked on a pair of vice-grips to the nut/clip part and undo the bolt. I also found out that I broke quite a few of the "J clips" during the process. You might consider purchasing some new ones for re-assembly.

Good luck!

I installed a new rear wiring harness. The PO did some funky stuff with the wiring and it was a mess. As soon as I get some back up light cups I should be in business. Also need a license plate lamp.

Went backwards on the 70.

I needed a solid engine to replace my oil burner in the Hoopty and since I already stole the tranny out fo the 70 fir the 83, I decided rather than buy another new crate that I would steal this one to go into the 83. So today the 70 was stripped of its drive train.

Oh I forgot (at least by yourself) small blocks don't come out with long tube headers still hooked up.:rolleyes: Other than that the ole crate is in the stand waiting for the day to do the swap into the 83.

Also installed a new stereo head unit into my 2002. One of the filters was going bad in the tuner section, so I swapped in a fresh unit. The Pioneer can do all the cool tuff too; MP3 CDs & Flash Drive MP3s plus blue toothie & Ipodee (don't care) stuff.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

Well my wheels and hubcaps took longer than a day but here is what I've done recently just waiting to save up some for new tires..I'm thinking 235/75/15 Goodyear Wranglers will look great.

What the wheels started out as:

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

Cleaned and polished the original paint on the firewall and reinstalled the freshly built 402 and transmission back in the C20.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

Installed some newly painted plugs in the shoulder belt holes and bought a new seat. Picked up a 2nd row seat out of a 99 suburban for 75 bucks. 60/40 split and both seats flip up so you can store stuff under there. Saw the info from another member on the board who used one. Funny thing is I have a 99 suburban in the driveway so I went out and measured and made sure it was going to be comfortable and fit right.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

Just color matched the sholder seat belt plugs I bought off a board member... Gotta let them dry completely then I'll pop them in

I fabricated a bracket and installed this oil separator for my PCV line. I'm surprised at just how much oil is collected in 100 miles of driving.

Those work good. I put one on an Aspire I had and it collected alot of oil to begin with, it seemed to slow down after awhile.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!

Sanded the bed awhile then sectioned a rear wheel tub LedZepp brought over to me last night. Got one side sectioned and tacked back together. Thanks again Scott!

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

It traps the oil vapor that comes thru the pcv system and keeps it out of the intake manifold, cleaner intake plenum and less oil burning in the combustion process.
