Nice birthday present lol. I swapped out my q-jet to my Holley only to find that the bottom gasket on the spacer must be shot because i can put my hands over the top of the carb and the engine speed up lol. This means i get to drive the wife's bubble car to work tomorrow.:banghead:

hmmmmm where do I start..

this is how it looked monday morning
http://hphotos-snc3.fbcdn.net/hs216...._5134541_n.jpg

when I got home from the airport I noticed my wheel spacers arrived. So I put the wheels on. My brother and I went to the junkyard and we got a chrome bumper and a 1 piece back glass, and installed it. Middle of the week my left power window went out. so we replaced that motor, and put junkyard chrome door handles on, and lowered the front and rear more. we ended up replacing the right window motor yesterday,and i had to splice new plugs in. I really think thats all we did to it, and this is how it sits now...

Re: What did you get done 1/10/2009 edition
 

Nothing until it warms up. I need to install my tailgate skin and handle flip but it's too cold to spray epoxy.

I sat around the house with the family this weekend. Made a lot of plans to get stuff done on my truck, and a couple others as well. That and found out that our Good-guys here gets autocross this year. :metal:

Re: What did you get done 1/10/2009 edition
 

Got a lil sanding done.

I was delayed by a broken pipe in the wall behind the water heater in the house:waah:
As it turns out someone put a galvanised pipe to the copper pipe when is should have been a brass pipe. So my pipe rusted though and did a bit of damage that I really didn't need right now.

Re: What did you get done 1/10/2009 edition
 

I finally shimmed up my crooked bed and cleaned up the garage.

Re: What did you get done 1/10/2009 edition
 

I found out why the truck wouldn't turn over from the ignition. Turns out the junction block on the firewall is bad or I did something wrong when I put it in. I should have it running next weekend.

Re: What did you get done 1/10/2009 edition
 

WOW! That turned out nice. I love the color.

It was great to meet you and the other guys. Enjoyed chatting with you, Frank, and Greg.
My first time to make this run, but not the last for sure.
Dude that is a HUGE transformation. Those wheels set it off just right.

Re: What did you get done 1/10/2009 edition
 

NOTHING!! Lazy day, too cold to work on the truck. WatchNFL playoffs and college hoops.

Re: What did you get done 1/10/2009 edition
 

WOW that is freaking a perfect interior! i love it!

Re: What did you get done 1/10/2009 edition
 

Looks great man! Specs on those new wheels?

Re: What did you get done 1/10/2009 edition
 

That looks great . I can picture myself sitting right behind the steering wheel .

Nice meeting you Travis . I wish I had a camera also .
It wa nice to meet you Ken . I finally got to lay eyes on the Cheyenne in person . Unbelieveable truck . I think it is one perfect truck ! The paint is slick as is the engine compartment , suspension, detail , etc .

Anyone else within driving distance should make the run next year .

Thursday drove to vegas for the CES show. planned on leavin at 7am at the latest, ended up leaving at noon. Rolled into vegas after dark, hit the sheets. Friday: meetings peppered throughout the day, walked around a lot, and finished with some amature mma fights. Pretty good fights Ryan Coture (randy coture's son) fought. My sister got her pic taken with Randy! saturday more meetings, more walking. Sunday: drive home. We left at 8, rolled in at 5:30. Time for bed.

Re: What did you get done 1/10/2009 edition
 

My truck started it's 6.0 swap this weekend. Will finish pulling the engine and trans tomorrow when I get home from work. Will run a 6.0 and a 700r4 that is built very stout. That way I can keep my factory cluster and save a few hundred bills.

Re: What did you get done 1/10/2009 edition
 

well, i started the molding in of my tailights friday, coming along nicely:D

Re: What did you get done 1/10/2009 edition
 

fixed a few mess ups I did, battery cable was rubbing against a sharp point on the transmission so covered it with plastic conduit, also used it on the wires to the starter were exposed, moved the tail light wires that were on the outside of the frame to the inside, and greased the front end parts

Re: What did you get done 1/10/2009 edition
 

I parked the 86 GMC in the basement and pulled the rear tires off sandblasted the drums and painted them. I plan to pull the rear end out Mon\Tues if I get time the kids are sick so who knows.

Re: What did you get done 1/10/2009 edition

Re: What did you get done 1/10/2009 edition

Re: What did you get done 1/10/2009 edition
 

Worked sat some nice OT then came hose cleaned the house up a bit for my late birthday party. I drank way to much sat night. Sunday it was requested that I fix the turn signals and tail lights on my soon to be uncle in laws mini van that he had diagnosed at a local shop a few weeks ago. Last monday night the mulitfunction switch I replaced at his request of course it dident fix the issue. So sunday I was nice although hungover replaced the fuse which dissapered from the fuse box which put power back to the lights. He took it out he said lol. Then pulled the plugs off the rear harness cleaned the typical burnt garbage off plugged em back in and they all fired to life. Sad thing is he paid that shop $90 to have them look at it and they took 3 hours to come up with a part that wasent bad and dident even see the missing fuse,

Re: What did you get done 1/10/2009 edition
 

They only truck related thing i did this weekend was, look at it. My wife had me doing honey-do's all weekend and probally for the next couple weeks as we are remodeling the house.

Re: What did you get done 1/10/2009 edition

Re: What did you get done 1/10/2009 edition
 

Well truck related was just wish that I was putting my steps on the beast. Didn't get around to it. Might do it tomorrow though (half day at work). This coiming week I'm going to the International Bike Expo in D.C. That should be cool.

Re: What did you get done 1/10/2009 edition
 

I finally did get out to my shop and do some work on one of my trucks. The 71 4x4 I bought awhile back had an inop heater, so I dug into it and found both a bad switch and a frozen cable. I decided to pull out the entire assembly and clean it while I repaired it, but I found once I got it out, that all the rivets holding it together were toast and it was falling apart. I had another control set from my Blazer, so after cleaning and lubricating all the cables and testing the switch on it, I installed it back in the truck.. Nice to have working heat!! I also began to clean up the NP 205 in preparation for new seals and a transplant from 4 spd to automatic. Now I just have to gather up my flex plate, starter, and a few other goodies..

Re: What did you get done 1/10/2009 edition
 

What transmission are you using?

Getting parts to Denmark must be expensive. Having spent a few years in your area, I know what the taxes, import fees and shipping fees are.

Where did you get this truck? It's a rare vehicle to see in Europe.

Good luck.

Got my defroster working, changed the oil and put in a new speedo gear.
