I washed it and drove the hell out of it for a couple of hours.

Have seen these on other websites. They are pretty cool and they do good.

I ordered my NASCAR edition air gap manifold

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

Tried to finish dismantling the rest of the water pump assembly, and proceeded to turn the head off the two bolts attaching the thermostat housings (top/bottom). Just one more thing to deal with....

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

I looked at paint chips... trying to decide on some accent colors while its in the body shop.
I also bought a 3hp mini starter on ebay for 60 bucks shipped!:metal:

Everytime I take a part off of any vehicle, I either break it, strip it or bust a knuckle. I hope you get it.

I shot the front and back bumper, grill surround, master cylinder, Booster and various other parts in a gloss black.

Must be a given trait for these old trucks... :D

Yeah, it shouldn't be to big of an issue, but it's is just one more thing to deal with.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

Abused it, by doing a couple of big burnouts.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

made sure I was getting vacumn to booster (I was) and drove the heck outta it, crossed a flooded section of road (fun but shouldnt do it) slid around some corners while driving, and drove it.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

I hauled some stuff with it!

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

I vacumed out the interior and removed the ECE parts from the bed so I can detail/wash it this weekend.

My son climbed around on the bench and made vroom vroom sounds while holding the wheel and grabbing the shifter...lol

Aired up the tires and cut some firewood, second load this year.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

Nothing... I'm a lazy bastard.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

Well I didn't do anything TO my truck but I did do some stuff FOR it. I started enclosing my shop which is where I will (hopefully) finish the teardown and restoration. And I unpackaged my new welder which will (again hopefully) help with that as well. ;)

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

Today I took out my seat and carpet so I could access the top of my tranny/t-case and soak it and the engine with simple green.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

Fixed retarded ignition, runs like a super champ again.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

Talked to a lady who's husband owns a couple of 67-72 school busses he doesn't use anymore for his rafting company. Gave her my number, hopefully he will call and I can get my gauges finally! Oh, and I rebuilt my truck mentally for like the 9,000th time.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

Took off the old and installed the new...............registration stickers on the rear license plate.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

I rolled on some of that rustoleum bed liner/Herculiner stuff. What a mess, they should print on the can that you should expect to throw away what ever you are wearing. If I ever need to line it again I will happily pay to have it done. Yesterday I finished up the new drop 3" front, 3.5" back. Tomorrow hopefully I will wash and wax my 68 GMC and the wife's 41 GMC.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

Took the truck to a cruise in, it's first public appearance.

On my way home, I let my wife drive so I could find where the helacious wind noise was coming from. Turns out the one piece window little triangles were leaking air badly. So on our way home we stopped by wally world and I got a small tube of clear silicone caulking.

Got home and applied the caulking around the triangles. I poked a real small hole in the caulking tube and laid down a thin bead. You will never be able to see it! And hopefully it will cut down on the wind noise a lot.

I also tracked down a new rattle. Turns out the wire for the lighter that I just installed is tapping on the top of the gauges, so I'll have do something about that.

Looked at my speaker kick panels with hopes of working on them tomorrow.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

R&R upper and lower ball joints. Still trying to install the lower A-arm caps so arm pivots without locking up.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

Wash, wax and vacumnd it. It was badly needed. I also changed the plugs and installed new head to header gaskets.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

put $47 worth of gas in it! drove the @#$#^&** out of it. :smoke:
one of the bike forums i frequent has a thread like this, has like 800 pages!:lol:

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

It's a today/yesterday combo......

Put gas in it, drove it to work, cleaned out the bed, took it on some sales calls, pondered new parts while driving it. Will probably do the same today.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

Received my new carpeting for the Burb and installed it in the passenger areas. Will work on the cargo area today as I have to take the side panels off. Put new thresholds on. Made a huge difference. Bought a hatch and tailgate which will force me to take a 600 mile each way road trip in the future - we'll turn it into a mini vacation.

Yesterday I picked up my truck from getting new steering components put on. Drove nice. Put $55 of gas in it. Brought it home and hauled some hay. Runs great after that carb rebuild!

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

last night: charged the battery (arrgh). parking lights got left on.

Drove it to work today and put $45 of gas in it. Got a nice compliment at the gas station by a guy with a late model burb with 311k miles on it. Looked like new.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

Did some drilling on the new rear bumper brackets (that were missing holes!!), getting ready to mount my new rear sport bumper, in place of the crappy step bumper that's there now.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

Drove it to the junkyard to pick up some parts for my son's truck.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

Replaced vacuum hose on brake booster, installed the back half of the console and wired the rear speakers and crossover for the stereo; wired door switches for the courtesy lights under the dash, in front half of console and rear cab light. Replaced knobs on headlight and wiper switches with Ron Francis knobs and re-installed the battery.
