I'm bored with the current topic.. what have ya'll done to the trucks this week? I chipped a few inches of ice off the lawn ornament , but not much else. anyone do anything great ? any good plans for the weekend?

lmao liz

I feel you, crap is finally melting here :)

i didnt do much shovelled the snow and am getting ready for more of it on tuesday

Too cold to do anything here...

i washed the 89, put new bed rails on it, and im working on cleaning and polishing the toolbox, i cleaned out the bed on the 85 ford beater, and i tried a different carb on my 71 which wont even start it

i thought you had a heated shop llessur?

I do, but I gotta start a fire to heat it up first... Not brave enough to go cut down the tree and hack it up first in this weather

this aint workin ;) doesnt anyone have anything good to talk about with the trucks?

yea liz i plowed snow with my 86 yesterday

i plowed snow with my grandpa's '77 on Tuesday. does that count? the past few weeks, i've been spending quite a bit on parts for my 86 lately, so this week is just pretty much a sit back and relax week.

I got the under dash a/c parts hung in my 72 project truck this week.. Only thing done all week and I had wanted to get the cab on the frame! Oh well..

I've gotta tighten and locktite a shock bolt out back (been clanking) and I wanna get the skidsteer started to do some snow plowing, I hope it warms up enough for me to venture outside and fire up the chainsaw to heat up the shop :D

I removed all of the stock garbage exhaust. I got my cab bolted on the frame & took the left tank off. I need to remove the tank splitter valve & install new hoses to it yet. One tank is enough for me. Then its on to the other million things on the list...corn

I put some transmisson fluid in :p

I bolted back on my accessories,
since i had no snow to shovel,
it did get down to 55 :eek: one night, bur...... :D :p

Yanked the q-jet & picked up the replacement (Still a q-jet, actually the same number.) Next weekend, I'll hook it up. Did I mention this is done on the street in center city Phila., not a sheltered garage. No, its not a big deal to swap carbs, but 2+2 does have a way of making a house smell like home. (acetone, toluene, etc.) Man, do I have garage envy!

It has been 20+ BELOW zero the last few days here...factor in the wind chill...and it got down to -40 or so below zero...friggin cold!

Of course my fiance 99 TJ decided it didn't want to start...condensation in the fuel lines/tank, she ran it below 1/8 tank of gas. Charger on the battery, two bottles of iso-heet, and some starting fluid in the air box finally got it started this morning.

I can't wait till it gets in the 20's again...might have to bust out the shorts! :D

I burnt my shop down :metal:

Actually, just did some smoke damage... I'll be putting a new distributer on and rebuilding my carb starting tommorow...

Also swept a good 10 square feet of soot off the roof of my shop today :)

I fixed 2 coolant leaks.

dayum Jeff , I was whining about it gettin down to 16 above here and wouldn't leave the house :)

I rebuilt my Eddy carb and replaced my starter. Its amazing how well it will start and run now.:D

I plowed some snow for a little cash!!! The great part is that the plow is my buddies and he let me borrow it for free!! $450 made in 3 hrs!! It was in the 30s today. Felt like a heatwave!!

I'm hoping for a warm day too so I can do some clearing with the skidsteer :D Can't get her started too easy in this cold stuff...

Even though this is the wrong board :D I got some work done on my 72 flatbed project. I swapped the front clip for a 67 GMC clip, hung the doors and damn near got the other cab corner welded in. Another 2 months of work and she should be ready for a few coats of paint. Just trying to spice up your thread Lizzy :D
