What did you get done this weekend 8/11/19 edition - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**old Rusty C10** · 08-11-2019, 04:13 PM

Ive been trying to sell my house these days http://www.broometeam.auto.remax.com...ino/index.html
so I couldn't do a thing today as we had an open house, but Saturday I began to sand down the bed floor on the 76 because I am going to bedliner it.. found it was pitted so I prepared truck for the ride to get the bed floor and tailgate sand blasted

My son was off on Thursday so we started working on his truck the 87. Its a beat up mud truck but dad started cutting and son welded and we replaced his left rocker panel... we have to do both cab corners yet and some body work but it was definitely a step in the right direction.

How about you all?

Nothing this weekend but earlier in the week I put in a new starter motor. Used the smaller one from a '98 Tahoe and it works great.

Put a new battery in Big Red, and took her to the Hot Summer Nights cruise in. Biggest one yet, for our small town, Bellefontaine Ohio. We had 354 vehicles!
On my 2006 Colorado, I installed a backup camera, that wirelessly shows thru the Garmin GPS. I desperately needed this, with the cap on the truck bed, it was hard to see directly behind me.

Got my newly rebuilt/modified 250 fired up and cam broke in. I still have to get the new exhaust done, hood back on and AC sorted out, but she runs again after 6 months.

Picked up a Mercruiser 160, AKA Chevy 250 marine motor, added to my collection of 6-bangers.

Brush hogged around the parts truck collection. Time to 'thin the herd' when you can't find them in the grass...

Took the burban to a show.

Attempted to install a few goodies in the turbo 400. I say "attempted" because I ended up pulling a thread from one of the servo bolt holes and it turns out the valvebody has a non-stock 1-2 shift valve that's supposed to allow for full manual control, which I don't want. Helicoiled the bolt hole, but now have to wait for a used vb with the correct 1-2 valve.

Bought another dual snorkel air cleaner. Going to make a 'closed' fresh air set-up for the dually:

Picked up my 13th square, hopefully things get lucky with this one.

87 K20 5.7 TBI 700r4, good bones to work with, needs floor and kick panel patches.

old school fisher plow + old school turbine wheels = sexyness

That is actually a Fisher minute mount setup, pretty rare for a square to have that setup.

Those turbines are 16.5s, the BFGs are in good shape and not all weather cracked so I am going to run them for now.

Had to delay getting the pipes on the truck today as there was a fuel leak out of the top of the tank. Of course an almost fuel tank.

Drained it, dropped it and found the one hose from the sending unit was rotten. Since my sending unit was acting funky and I happen to have a new one in the stock pile, decided to replace it as well as putting new hoses one. I got it back in and there does not appear to be any leaks now. I can't tell by smell if the vapor leak is also gone or not. So hopefully I'll be able to tell in morning once shop airs out.
