Re: What did you do to your truck today part IV
I did this over the weekend but I finally got the 4 wheel disc brakes done and the new system bled! Ordered a PS pump bracket from Summit, so I can finish up the PS conversion. Slowly getting my panel going, since I have had it 5 years and never driven it. :(
Here's a pic, since everyone likes pics. http://gallery.lisaandmike.org/album...l/IMAG0815.jpg |

I upgraded to power disc brakes using mid 70's ball joints, spindles and power brake booster/master. Stops real nice now. It is funny how I still pump on the pedal when stopping.. :lol:

Re: What did you do to your truck today part IV

Hope to pull this a block or so down the street to my house and turn my love of my '71 GMC into the start of a fleet!

Re: What did you do to your truck today part IV
Just driving. I need to stop and work on some things I want to tweak.
|
Re: What did you do to your truck today part IV
Installed original refurbished radiator and new water pump. Then took the Mrs out to dinner for a test ride.
I have had the truck three years now and with that job complete - everything under the hood has been replaced with the exception of the motor itself. I can't wait for the road salting to end so it can be returned to daily driver status. |
Re: What did you do to your truck today part IV
Pumped the gas pedal twice, pulled out the choke, started it up and drove to work. Tried out my zip tie based, experimental Mexican blanket seat cover attachment system. So far, so good. :lol:

Re: What did you do to your truck today part IV
Elaborate more on your Mexican blanket/zip tie system shp4man. I have the blanket just need to secure it. Thx in advance.

Re: What did you do to your truck today part IV
I picked up a couple 3rd row seats from a Tahoe. I will figure out which one I want to use as a back seat in my Panel truck...

repaired the worst hack job in the floor from the PO. I think they blindly measured for the stick shift, then blindfolded a 4 yr old and gave him a chain saw...

Set new glass in the wing and door window assemblies. Got the Nu Relics power unit installed and tested the switch that uses the original window crank handle.

removed the passenger side inner rocker, outer rocker and cab corner. What a beating that was.
Welded in the new inner rocker in. The cab corner patch panel looks to be less than an ideal match, but I guess we'll. |

Re: What did you do to your truck today part IV
I had restored my original wing window assemblies many years ago. I was disheartened to see the damage a couple of local glass shops did to wing window frames of other people, so I decided to set the glass myself. I only have the door fuzzies on the inner side - the two different sets (Precision and Classic Parts) I had were both too thick for the outside. Not sure what I'm going to do...I might try to modify a set if passenger car outer rubber sweeps.

Installed driveshaft, new alternate bracket and put the hood back on by myself...I don't fully recommend it as a solo job.
Oh yeah, then i drove it for the first time with the engine swap complete! |

I called in sick today- bad cold. It's raining here all day. Wife's new car usually occupies the garage, but felt the need to get Ol'Blue out of the rain. :lol:

Picked up a set of 22 inch transit wheels. Painted them white with Duplie-color color match and clear coated them with Spray Max 2K. Installed a set of Lionhart LH-EIGHT 265/35R22 tires and picked up and installed a set of Chevy Wheel Dress Up Kit with Polished Collar from Billet Proof Designs.
Changed out my broken speedo cable and ordered a new gas gauge. Next I will be dropping it with SS-7 Bags, Drop spindles and a C notch. |

went "Shopping" for a grille insert at a local yard. Found a complete '61 grille intact but the lower parts were pretty rusty, good thing i only needed the "Chevrolet" insert. Drilled out the rivets and was able to massage the aluminium back to straight enough.
Picked up extra bed fenders for future tubbing and a "non antenna" corner cowl. |
