What did you get done-01/28
I had the weekend off and had great plans but unfortunately they didn't all happen. Oh well, sometimes we get side tracked with family events and have to forsake our other plans.
I did get my daily drivers cleaned up so I accomplished something truck related. I spent most of Saturday cleaning my garage and storing Christmas decorations. Once I got them packed away, I focused on replacing my garage door opener that died. It took a few hours working by myself but I got it done. I programmed all the openers and installed a wireless key pad as well. It doesn't sound like much but I was glad to have it done. What did you get done?

Re: What did you get done-01/28
I killed my truck. Does that count?
Otherwise, I worked today (sunday).

Re: What did you get done-01/28
Cleaned up my yard this weekend. We had a ice storm here in Missouri I'm sure everyone heard about. I lost a few trees and without power for 1 week.

Signed into Airborne school Friday...
Cleaned the truck Saturday, then it rained. Tried to talk to a place about buying a Gaylord Lid and Bed Rug, but it seems people just don't want to do business! ![]()

Re: What did you get done-01/28
Rested on Sat (worked 31hrs Thurs/Fri). Today I got out & created templates for my 'new' shock brackets for my ART front lower control arms.
I made a template that I was satisfied with & began cutting up some scrap 3/16" steel for the brackets when I decided to see how well my work gloves protected my skin vs. the cut-off wheel. The cut-off wheel won . . .... The doc wouldn't stitch me up because part of the shattered cut-off wheel is still imbedded in the tissue. He wants me to go see a hand surgeon tomorrow. 3hrs later I was back out in the driveway finishing up the cuts (brackets, not fingers) & of course I had my hand wrapped in plastic to keep it sanitary ![]()

Re: What did you get done-01/28
Didn't get a whole lot done, just stole some parts off the shortbox and the 87 burb before they go to the scrappers. Only keeping the shortbox frame and the boxes of goodies that came with it. Other wise for the rest of the weekend I was tied up with snowmobiling and some college junk too.

Re: What did you get done-01/28
I helped my buddy with his '94 pickup for a little while on Saturday. Took my other buddys honda to the car wash and my moms car after that today. Cleaned my Cavy out yesterday too. Other then that just did alot of chores and minor stuff. Nothing really car or truck related.

Re: What did you get done-01/28
Did an oil change on my 78 stepside DD on Saturday. Drove it to Lowe's to pick up some stuff for my house Sunday night.
Went out this morning to fire it up to go to work, and it won't even turn over. It was cold, so maybe the starter's frozen? I live in TN, so I have no idea if it's even possible for a starter to freeze. Can that happen? It had plenty of juice in the battery to make the lights bright and everything. I guess I'm gonna try it again later when it warms up some. Weird. EDIT: Went out a few minutes ago and it fired right up. Must've been frozen. Never knew that could happen.

Re: What did you get done-01/28
I spent a good part of the week with my FIL at the hospital. He is still in pretty bad shape, but got out Sunday morning, so that's good.
![]() I went Saturday morning to the the junkyard and got the manifolds I posted about last week. Someone else had started pulling them, but quit. They had already disconnected them from the exhaust system under the truck, so that was a big help. I cleaned them up yesterday. They are supposed to be stainless, but they are still ugly. A friend who is a GM mechanic says they put just enough stuff in the alloy to keep them from rotting out. They still ought to be better than the 305 manifolds, though. They look like this: ![]() I haven't been driving the truck for the last week. I have needed to work on it, but the weather was uncooperative, and I had to work on the house. I have a noise under acceleration that is driving me crazy. I sounds like an exhaust leak, but I can't find anything leaking. I spent a couple of hours on it yesterday, but I still don't know any more than I did when I started. ![]() I also had to do some painting (priming, really) on the house. Squirrels chewed a hole up under the eaves, built a nest, and made some wood rot out. I had the fun experience of removing the rotted wood and the nest, and replaced the wood last weekend during a lull in the rain. I caulked it in the dark one night this week after work, and got to prime it on Sunday. I'll either paint it one night this week in the dark, or wait until next weekend. Oh, the joys of being a homeowner... ![]() Slonaker |

Re: What did you get done-01/28
I got stuck working all weekend but got the POS car done and out of my life. I'm never doing a FREE engine again!
I ordered some new carpet from GMCpaul so it should be in this week! ![]() I'm going to do some much needed drilling on my truck today, the belltech lowering kit dident have the proper size holes for my stock spring bolts so I used some smaller ones as a temp fix. Hopefully my bushings are still intact. Next couple of weeks I'm going to start the BB build. 1998 Vortec 454, 4 bolt main caps all around. Still deciding how far I want to go with it but I guess if the crank is salvageable that will help in the $$$$$$.

Re: What did you get done-01/28
The knob for my fan control has been broken since I bought me '86 GMC. I have an '87 non-AC cab I am not going to be using so I pulled the control head off to put in my '86.
PO put in an detachable-face stereo that is basicly mounted to the bezel. I've never had speakers hooked up so all I know is it lights up, but don't know if it works? Not real concerned with that right now. I've also had an issue with my dash light fuse blowing when I pull on my headlight switch. Since I have to remove the radio to get the bezel off anyways I decide to just pull it all-together. Some people shouldn't be allowed to touch wires in a car (or a house too I suspect). What a rats nest of wires. Going to the strangest of places. Judging by the fat cables running to under the seat I assume the PO had an amp of some type before. This solved the mystery of the toggle that did nothing on the bottom of my dash though. After cleaning that mess up and getting everything back together (yay, no more jabbing my finger when trying to adjust my fan), I decide to put a good fuse in the dash light spot just to see if maybe I fixed that by getting rid of the rats nest. What do you know, they work! Two birds with one stone...

Nothing here... Another weekend where a bunch of parts went uninstalled.
![]() I am about to pay a shop just to get my headers on, because I just don't know when in the world I would do it myself.
