What did you get done? 3/11/07 - Page 2 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Since these seats won't fit in my '88 Ext. cab worth a darn, I think I'll use them in my '72. I can't believe the cab's interior width is bigger on the '72. the wide trans hump was the big problem on the '88.

Tracked down my nasty oil leak to the back of my passenger side head. Tore it down and got it runnin again today. Tune it up tomorrow and drive. Hopefully leak is gone.

Big weekend for me!

There's some milestones when building one of these things......truck painted, all panels back on, first motor firing, and the first little cruise around the parking lot!

It's moving under it's own power and this thing will fry the tires on demand!!!....gonna take a surgeon to remove the smile from my face!!

....or at least until the front crank seal gave way and spit oil all over!!...PISS!!

Oh well....it's was a pretty easy fix, but just made a mess.

This pic is the first time this thing has moved on it's own power since 97!

Zumo · 03-12-2007, 09:10 AM

I cleared out the other side of my garage and rolled the truck inside. Trying to keep it out of the elements and out of site from would be theifs. I put in a newer seat and still need to olt it down. I am also going to install a new tach so I don't want folks swipin' my sh!t.

FRENCHBLUE72 · 03-12-2007, 09:22 AM

Congrats SactoJim on the first drive since 97!

Looks like alot of progress amongst us.

This weekend I got to work on my 70 K5 on Sunday. Got the transmission bolts all tightened, got the bellhousing cover installed. Got the power steering pump installed along with the alternator. So very little left to do before I can go for a drive for the first time in the K5!

Alvin · 03-12-2007, 10:05 AM

Got a few coats of primer on the top of my frame. Tonight we'll flip it over and put a few on the bottom. Hopefully tomorrow we'll be spraying black!
