Re: What did you do with your truck today, take 2
Looked at pictures of my truck progress. I was missing her because she is 1100kms away from where I'm working but all the awesome builds and pics on this site keep me going until I can get some more build hours in

Repainted the cab in an attempt to match the "Patina". Next week will "age" the paint by sanding and rusting it.

Re: What did you do with your truck today, take 2
I have a big oil leak to the back transmission (SM420), so have ordered a new out put shaft seal.
In an attempt to replace the seal, I have removed the propeller shaft, parking brake drum and band, expecting to be able to remove the oil seal from the outside but I didn’t succeed. So I have removed the case rear casting. Just to discover that the rear main shaft bearing had a lot of play so needs replacement. I have so decided to remove the transmission from the truck, just to have a look at the other bearings. The main shaft front bearing is worn out too. Ended by an order for a bearings and seals kit. I had the plan to replace the clutch throw out bearing as it is a bit noisy. The transmission being removed, I took the opportunity to have a look at the clutch so removed it just to discover that the disk is worn out and it is missing a part of it. A good day! Had to order a new clutch too! I have an oil leak at the rear axle. Am just wondering if I will have a look at it ! Cheers Michel

"Aged" the Cab by sanding and rusting to match the original patina and get the desired "Rusto-Mod" look.

Re: What did you do with your truck today, take 2
Scored carpet for $5 at church fundraising sale. I love them no emotional attachment to any of the stuff so deals can be made. I paid full price! Now just need to cut and get edging put on. Enough to cover it 2-3 times so will not have to worry about day to day damage. From 76-2000 I just tossed in indoor outdoor stuff in what ever pattern caught by fancy at the time.

Re: What did you do with your truck today, take 2
I could have welded them directly in but I decided to keep the edge cause I want them to bolt in.

Today I took out my auxiliary trans cooler. My truck (350/350) has been running warmer on the freeway than in town, so I know it has an airflow problem. The trans cooler was out in front of the radiator and I suspected it was blocking the breeze. I mail-ordered another unit and will tuck it under the truck. |

Replaced the trans pan (bad drain plug machining caused leak) with one with better design. No more leak.

Re: What did you do with your truck today, take 2
Removed the steering wheel on the 58 and installed the new fuel sending unit. Replaced the fuel fill hoses on the 59. Now I need to learn to add pictures :-)
