What did you get done 12/26/2010 end of year edition
 

Ive been tied up with lots of personal issues the last week. I am still contemplating buying a new shortbed truck that is in better shape than the longbed i have but other than that there has been nothing truck related.
I hope all had a good holiday season
How about you all did you do anything?

Started snowing last night and hasn't stopped, 12" so far. I hate snow by the way.:waah: 12" is pretty much our 10-12 year accumulation, bummer getting it in one day. I wouldn't mind it so much if I lived next door to a Wal-Mart, auto parts and was a retired millionaire.:lol:

I did clear a path to the garage and worked on the floors of my '50. The driver side is 90% complete along with the passenger side. As soon as this snow clears out I'll be moving the chassis into the garage to begin installing the S-10 frame clip. I might drive this thing in 2011 after all. :metal:

Swapped a rear Burb/Blazer/sport bumper in place of the 'work' bumper & installed my 'out of sight' tool box.

Re: What did you get done 12/26/2010 end of year edition
 

Went to 2 family celebrations + Christmas at home. Finally, yesterday, I removed the rest of the worn out suspension on 1 side of my trailer and installed new springs/shackles/equilizer/bolts etc. 25 degrees and a darn cold wind. Then I took the tractor (had to use the 77 GMC to jump start it) and cleared off the snow from the barn until it wouldn'd go no more - 2' of snow packed so hard that the tractor would ride up on it (and this tractor weighs 4500#)! Another 20' to get to the plowed driveway.

Today I go get the next to last load of 'stuff' out of the family barn, been there for 30 years, now it goes to scrap or into my barn. All that will be left out there are 2 engines that I need my hoist to extract.

I hope to haul a load of scrap this week, just to make room in the barn.

Got back from a ski trip on Thursday. Friday I started cleaning up the garage to work on my 65. Tore down the motor out of my son's 82 to see what was wrong with it. It is a 305, we are not going to use it. I has a broken timing set and a broken flexplate. There was a lot of thick black sludge in the pan. I it stripped of the parts we are keeping and the rest is going to scrap on Monday.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!
