Re: What did you do to your truck today!

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

Thanks 67Cheby!! Yea thats my grandpas 68. When he passed he left it to my dad and me. Its all original except for a 283 in place of the inline 6 from the factory. He bought it brand new in 68 and when he drove it off the showroom floor he took it over to some place that did undercoating back then and it has zero rot anywhere. Im trying to get mine back on the road so i can get started on it so it stays that way. Mines been down going on 7 years since it seems that life and money always seem to find there way into the mix.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

LOL, i understand mine was my grandfathers truck he drove it for 25 years, and we tore it apart 8 yrs ago !! so i understand , it looks like a great start , when you get yours done that is !

x2- looks great, nice job!

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

I have been working in attaching the new bracket converting my 67 cab to 72 gas pedal linkage. I did not realize the problem otherwise I would have welded in the holes in firewall. I used longer screws to attach bracket and put rubber washer and steel washer to cover holes. I have also been restoring the steerring column and fixing a exhaust manifold. New harness and radio should be here soon.

Where did you get the seal for the steering shaft?

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

I did not replace it. Why is there a problem finding one?

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

Ran new window washer hoses and pump hose

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

I've been looking for one for a long time.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

Just got my new aaw harness in the mail. Nothing stoppping me now!!!!

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

I watched mine collect dust !! and listened to it try to rust, lol

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

Helped a friend remove the cowl and windshield from my parts 'burb so he can use it for some patch panels for his 71. The 'burb is an old rust bucket and other than making a decent storage shed, it's getting to be a donor for several other trucks!

Re: What did you do to your truck today!

Call Wes at Classic Heartbeat.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

I started installing the AAW harness and I am having way too much fun. It really was worth the investment. New ignition, new headlight switch, Hi-low beam switch. Im impressed.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

Regarding the AAW harness. I did find out that in the directions they tell you to drill 2 #10 holes to support fuse holder. It was too large of a hole and I had to find 2 larger screws to secure it.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

I will keep my eyes out for you. Is the seal inside the nuckle on steering column?

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

No pics but I had a productive day for the 72. I cleaned the paint booth and moved the all the parts in for our start at a two tone job in the morning.
:bann:

Re: What did you do to your truck today!

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

I added this 48 gallon auxillary fuel tank. Today I will fill it up if I can afford too! I will easily get over 1000 miles per fill up though and that will be nice.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

Worked on my Driver Side Door today. I love bodywork.

I left the cost out of the picture, but I can add it back in if everyone is interested in what a total purchase from bowtie would cost.

More info and pics to come after I receive the crate!!!

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

yes it did..thanks

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

That seems about right. What made you go for the 200 instead of a 700?

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

I currently have a th400 in the truck, so after looking up the specs 2004r & 700r4.
It looks like the 2004r will swap right into my truck as is.
No need to move the crossmember, no need to get a new drive shaft (except the yoke change).
So it made since to just go with the 200.
The gear ratio in the 200 is almost the same as the th400, just a tad lower.
So no loss there, just gain with over drive.
It just made since all around!

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

Thanks for the info, I have to change a 72 Gm from 3spd standard to 4spd auto, will have to be careful in length and see which is the same. Is there any electrical to it for 4th lockup or just tv cable adjustment.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

Mocked up the headers I received today...

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

I started removing misc stuff. The truck goes into paint jail on Tuesday. I picked up my seat from the upholstery shop on Saturday. I like it but the color did not match all of my other painted trim pieces. Oh well. Looks like I will have some time to get them all squared away while the body and paint are getting done.
