Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
 

Thanks man. I grew up riding in this truck. It came along 2 years before I did and dad drove it until the early 90's (he bought it new, right off the lot. He saw it and he bought it that day).

I love your name.....when it comes time to get a license plate, I may copy your style but for a '72. :ito:

Congrats on getting reverse lights! I have to hold my reverse lever upwards for mine to work.

Installed new cab mounts, steamed off motor, started on getting radiator out to replace radiator support mounts and fix oil leaks. Valve covers and damper seal leaking.

I put the fuel tank back in but I think I'll have to take it back out....doesn't the fuel tank gauge wire go in behind the fuel tank?

Painted my tailgate band. All the black paint came off the repops one. Too much tapping skills for me to do right but I think it looks fine.

Out local truck club is having a slalom course day at the Anderson Speedway in Anderson SC in three weeks. One of the safety concerns was if a battery feel over and shorted out due to exposed terminals. Well I took care of that today. I'm ready to go now!:chevy:

Yea some of the guys went riding in the Mts. a couple of weeks ago and one our members battery fell over. That got us all to thinking.
I bought a $11.00 battery box and $3.00 terminal covers and fixed mine with a strap. It's nice and tight. And it can't go anywhere!:chevy:

Last wed: removed the front clip by myself, then power washed everything off over the weekend.

Today: Got the motor/trans pulled (Crate 350/SM465 )....LC9/TR6060 w. MSD atomic EFi coming soon.

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
 

Radiator support mounts done, disassembled a little more, dropped off misc. to be powdercoated. Next, fix oil leaks, paint and detail engine and engine compartment.

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
 

It runs in front / along the top edge. There are stock clips that hold it In place on mine.

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
 

Took tank back out, put in sender and EEC hose. The EEC hose was troublesome as 5/16 inch hose was too tight! 3/8 inch was the ticket.

Got the sender wire in behind the tank (behind the nozzle where I like it much better).

I waited for part to arrive. Man this is getting old. Another weekend w/o what I need to finish my project and get my truck back on the road. If I had to endure "paint jail" like some of you all do, I'd go nutz:uhmk:

Picked up 2 more 16" rims ( that makes 4) to convert my 70 c20 from 16.5" to 16".

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
 

I installed some new springs to replace the old ones and I'm not sure I like it. Although the new springs are shorter than what was in there mostly due to age I'm sure, the ride height is up an inch or so. (Livable though) The new ones are HD 1/2 ton springs which are most likely c20 like in nature. Took it out for a cruise to see how it drove and it seemed more bouncy in back. I'm hoping a shock swap will settle the rear down somewhat. Truck is lowered with blocks but still see some hauling so I know I'll like the better level load capability of the new vs old worn out springs. Any good shock suggestions?
