Well its time to work on the grill. I removed the center and coated it with oven cleaner. Wow that stuff works great. I have sanded it down with 600 grit where scratches were bad and now I am sanding it with 800 grit, wet sanding the whole way. I think I will go with 1000 grit and see how it looks. I am putting the windshield and slider in this weekend. Should be stasrring the truck next week.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
Guess I did not know you could sand the grill to shine like that by wet sanding using 800 to 1000 sand paper....looks nice good job.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
The driver side lock mechanism was stuck so I lubed everything and found a broken spring in the door handle. The lock & handle work fine now even with the busted spring.
Next up is a headlight warning buzzer (NAPA 7821637). |

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
Decided it was time to tackle some tranny leaks! I have been working on these trucks for years but transmissions are one place I'm very weak at , that said I'm very happy with the result. The truck is a 71 C-20 402/400 , leak at the modulator so I pulled it and when I called the local parts store they had one in stock and it was $6 so that was a no brainer! Next came the speedo assembly, I managed to remove it without breaking anything, brought the whole thing to a tranny shop where they put all new seals in it right there and charged me $10, so both leaks were repaired the same day for under $30 without breaking anything! I know this is long winded but seldom do things go this smooth.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
yesterday I completed 90% of the new efi fuel system. I had to add a return and make some fitting/end changes, which ultimately wound up in my removing all the 1/2" aluminum tube and -8 AN fittings and s.s. hose...and replacing with -6 AN s.s. hose and fittings.
today..finish the fuel system, install a few sensors...and on to wiring! |
Re: What did you do to your truck today!
found a plug wire resting on the header...... nice burnt wire so I replaced with a longer set that can actually route better..... running pretty good so wonder how long that was going on!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Test fit some smoothies I bought from a board member.
They aren't going on this truck, but I wanted to see what they looked like. They will be going on the red GMC one of these days! Just waiting on a 4/6 drop and some other goodies. It looks like I need a taller wider tire for the back. I guess a 275/45/20 will have to work since the rims are 8.5" wide. |

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
My dailly driver blew a headgasket so was driving c10 as a dailly driver. Today I took it to my friend's chassis dyno and did some tuning on it. Best pull was 332hp and 360 torque at the wheels.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
removed the insulation under the dash. spent 4 hours scraping most of the black goo they used to stick it down. Note to self. The insulation is not fire retardant... I got sick of scraping and was going to heat up the insulation and goo with a blow torch. Started a little fire....

Well the windshield is in the truck. Had as guy come over and put it in for me. Some things are better left to the professionals. I bought a sliding window a couple of years ago ata aswap meet for the truck and went to put it in and come to find out it is for a 73 chevy. You can not trust everyone. I have seen a couple since but knew I had one already. Well the search continues. I will try to find an original aluminum one or I will buy new. Bummer. Should be starting it this week.Any one looking for a 73 aluminum slider let me know.

Finished one side of my truck and started on the other side, removed door and bottom hinge and ready to cut and lower improperly installed rocker, welded on 1" too high same as the other side. Nice install but just too high.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
Got my last door (driver's side) bolted back on and adjusted, what a pain in the a$$. It's a OEM door, just not the original door. It fits pretty good, just not as good as the passenger side door which is original. I also got my air conditioning condenser mounted in the radiator support and installed new lower radiator mount brackets.
