I feel you, crap is finally melting here

rolson1039 · 01-29-2004, 11:54 PM

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

Russell · 01-29-2004, 11:58 PM

Too cold to do anything here...

Blue_71 · 01-29-2004, 11:59 PM

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

***Liz*** · 01-30-2004, 12:00 AM

i thought you had a heated shop llessur?

Russell · 01-30-2004, 12:02 AM

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

***Liz*** · 01-30-2004, 12:11 AM

this aint workin

doesnt anyone have anything good to talk about with the trucks?

TODDS 72 · 01-30-2004, 12:13 AM

yea liz i plowed snow with my 86 yesterday

*1FaastC10* · 01-30-2004, 12:21 AM

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.

69c10stepside · 01-30-2004, 12:21 AM

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..

Russell · 01-30-2004, 12:36 AM

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

corn · 01-30-2004, 01:21 AM

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

brad2 · 01-30-2004, 01:30 AM

I put some transmisson fluid in :p

Nvbowtie · 01-30-2004, 08:23 AM

I bolted back on my accessories,
since i had no snow to shovel,
it did get down to 55

one night, bur......

:p

PhilaTruck · 02-01-2004, 03:04 AM

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!

bigblock73 · 02-01-2004, 03:14 AM

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!

Russell · 02-01-2004, 03:15 AM

I burnt my shop down

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

apstguy · 02-01-2004, 05:39 PM

I fixed 2 coolant leaks.

soleeagle · 02-01-2004, 09:38 PM

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

phantom dually · 02-01-2004, 10:00 PM

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!!

Russell · 02-02-2004, 03:29 AM

I'm hoping for a warm day too so I can do some clearing with the skidsteer

Can't get her started too easy in this cold stuff...

dubie · 02-04-2004, 04:56 PM

Even though this is the wrong board

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
