Re: What did you do to your truck today!
Friday I received my 12bolt parts,new Eaton 4 series Posi,3.73 ring & pinion, complete install kit, extra inner pinion bearing & solid pinion shim kit. Got all of it for $670.00 shipped to my door step.
Today my youngest son (8 yr old) and I started taking out the rear-end so we can rebuild it ourselves. We got everything stripped down and apart, we stopped for lunch and a movie this afternoon... ( it was a hot one today) & almost got finished removing the rear-end this evening but stopped after fighting with the E-brake cable and the backing plate. It was fun to watch the reaction on my son's face when he cracked open the dif cover and to his surprise all the "stinky oil" came out... he was taken back at first, but he held it open to drain with one hand and held his nose with the other.... ![]() Good times!!!

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
Ran metal tranny lines up under the battery tray, then rount the lines up through the two holes in the valance and voala, much more reliable tranny lines that i dont have to worry that the rubber would crack

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
I drove mine to a friends who lives about 80 miles away, longest trip since I got it running again. We cruzed the beach (Oceanside) a little then on the way home I got rained on. Rain? In southern California...in the summer? I wasn't very happy about the rain (no wipers) but, I guess it had to happen sometime.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
I know what you mean on wearing your fingers out, sanded my 79 Bronco by hand, didn't say I was smart, man my hands were just raw after that truck, but got smarter on my 71 GM, bought a palm sander, just a wonder, thought I am not too quick sometimes..but got it right this time. Sure cut down on the labour and skin. Think my figerprints grew back in.

if you have a stnd bore up to .30 over, the block can be rebuilt with no issues. i really dont like going more than .30 over but 327s dont seem to have the overheating problem at .60 over jobs ........... provided the block passes a mag test

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
Drove to georgia yesterday and bought a seat from board member CC69Rat and actually met his dad aka NoNeck...super cool guy. Got it home on the ole roof bike rack on the Camry (my wife was not impressed...lol). But it's in and loving having a seat again.

This is what it looks like now after using metal rescue for about 6 hours. Next is the wire wheel, and if all else fails I do have a 350 block sitting up waiting to be built. Dont want to put too much energy into this engine if I cant keep it simple. |

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
Saturday, I entered the truck in a local show. The only prize I won was a primo parking spot
![]() Sunday, I replaced the crappy "temporary fix" choke cable with a factory one. I also installed a new air filter. Next project is to replace the gas pedal, as the rubber bottom holding it to the floor ahs just about split all the way off.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
Finally got my headers installed and the exhaust welded up! Fixed my tps problem with a couple shims, got the clutch linkage moved whitch was stupid easy and I'm still kicking my self over taking so long on it.. Put new connecting tierods on the front axle, checked all the fluids, put $20 of premium In it and have been driving it since! I sure did miss driving it. Wish I hadn't waited so long.. Now just for a set of premium lock out hubs and I'll be ready to go wheeling again!

First day back for me. Been off on a music gig with Brothers and friends. I went to inspect and found NO LIQUIDS on the floor! Finished up the elec. fan install, routed the starter wire and the Napa made-up trans lines away from the passenger's side header, wired up the lic. plate lights that snap into the roll pan, snugged up the mid and rear wire harness. Then, I put the wheels on, torqued 'em down and took that sucker off of jack stands. Hooray! Next (with camera in hand this time), cowl, hood hinges and hood install.I decided not to bolt the seats down until I was on the ground. I just wanted to look out the way I was going to when I wasn't 12" in the air! ![]()
