Well I got my truck back on all four wheels after going through the front end and lowering it. Sneeked away to get my wife a Valentines card and flowers. After 25 years together we do think alike. We bought each other the same Valentines card!!!! No she did not buy me flowers,,,,, only because she's seen what I did to my clothes after working on the truck.

Great wife to put up with my dirty laundry:metal:

Finally recovered from a bad flu.

First thing Saturday morning replaced master cylinder - old one had a leaky seal. Bleed brakes twice just to make sure that I've purged all air from the system. Finishing the job before XYL woke up - priceless. Having my truck road worthy again is 'most excellent'!!

Today - nothing truck related - just keeping XYL happy!

Got the engine and trans pulled from the truck. This week I plan to start tearing it down and replacing the gaskets, cam, timing set, and several other things. I may even get brave and take on the proportioning valve while I am at it.

Spent 3 1/2 hours on Saturday washing, polishing, waxing, and then vacuuming away the previous ten days of snowy weather and associated filth off of the daily driver. Even with using a buffer, my arms were ready to fall off.

Re: What did you all get done 2/13/11 Valentines edition
 

Double sealed 14' of basement wall. Went to cheerleading competition on Saturday. Finally was warm enough to go out in the barn, reassembled the monojet for the 77, started work on the waste motor oil processor for using WMO in my diesel, started sorting out the cast and aluminum from everything else for my next scrap run. Pulled the glows on my 'new' 82 diesel engine, dumped out all the fluids, next is a tear down and inspect.

P.S. sorry it didn't work out bob.

Re: What did you all get done 2/13/11 Valentines edition
 

Lots of body work and ordered all new side trim as well as all my paint supplies.

Re: What did you all get done 2/13/11 Valentines edition
 

Put on the new 'top banana' grille emblem. :metal:

Re: What did you all get done 2/13/11 Valentines edition
 

Washed the truck and realized how bad of shape my wheels are in. Polished aluminum is hard to clean.

Re: What did you all get done 2/13/11 Valentines edition

<----Jealous, Needs grille brackets so I can put my 74 grille on and post up a similar picture.


2/13 was a Sunday, so I did nothing but stuff my face at Grandma's after church and take a nap :mm:

On Saturday though...Did nothing to the 78 or the 67. Put new shocks on the 01, and a coil and new battery on the DD 98 S10. Went to dinner at a fancy restaurant in the 01 with the wife, all dressed up, on the way home pulled a SUV out of a culvert. Teenage girl had missed the entrance to a neighborhood pulling in and went down in the culvert, both back tires were hanging 2ft in the air. After checking on them, I threw a strap around the rear subframe and pulled them right out. Surprisingly no damage other than some scuffs on the rockers and a cracked front bumper.

Got my block and rotating assembly back from the machine shop. Everything is all clean and balanced. Now I just have to put it together.

Re: What did you all get done 2/13/11 Valentines edition

Re: What did you all get done 2/13/11 Valentines edition
 

KrazyRay? I posted in one of his part out threads earlier this morning, haven't heard back just yet. He didn't have any specifically listed that I saw, but he has several 73-74 trucks he is parting.

Re: What did you all get done 2/13/11 Valentines edition

Re: What did you all get done 2/13/11 Valentines edition
 

Pulled engine out of the '77 and tore it down to find the crank had been turned .020/.020 and the bore is STD.

Re: What did you all get done 2/13/11 Valentines edition
 

Pumped up the tires at my father-in-law's house where it was being stored, took it for a ride, then took it to the new house and tucked it into its nice new garage. Hope to be able to start working on it a little more now once I get my tools moved.
