Re: What did you do to your truck today part III
The towbar has it's second coat of Hammerite.
Today I bought new 8.8 high tensile bolts for all the fittings oft he towbar as well as a pair of even higher spec collared Allen head bolts to make into fixing pins, along with the R-Clips I was given on Monday by the local spares shop. Measured, then ground flat aspects for the drill to take to, drilled through (sacrificing some bits in the process) and then tidied them up. This means the towbar is now complete, ready to fit once the truck is ready for reassembly.

Re: What did you do to your truck today part III
I pick up the new battery and grounding cables Friday from Napa as well as the heater core. That is the last of the under hood items left to do. I them put on the steering wheel. Next is the muffler tie in.

Re: What did you do to your truck today part III
I took a wood shop class at City College and built this box for the back of my truck. It has been sitting in my closet for many years. I know it is more then 7. I have been thinking about breaking it out and maybe using it, either in the back of my truck or in the living room as a coffee table. It is made out of solid white oak and the Chevy Bowtie inlay is African Mahogany. It still needs a finish on it.

Re: What did you do to your truck today part III
Yeah, that's what I thought. All you can buy now (at least afaik) is the thicker composite gaskets.

Re: What did you do to your truck today part III
I looked for a month and one day it pop'd up, had to buy 2 seperate items to get the complete set, still missing the water outlet gasket. I just found a guy selling some, but I don't need 14 of them!!!

Re: What did you do to your truck today part III
Pulled most of my front end off today to drill out 2 broken P/S studs and to replace the water pump. Bolts on core support all came out easy for not being touched for 50 years. I enjoy challenges like this.

Re: What did you do to your truck today part III
Trying to do whatever I can to keep things moving while I wait on weather and $$.
Mocked up the high hump so I can drill some holes. wife even helped out! Then I made an adapter for my gas pedal. The high hump came from an earlier year truck with a gas pedal that bolts to the floor and I wanted to use the 66 pedal that snaps on with ball mounts. A little cutting, a little drilling and there ya go. Thanks to member Durg for the idea! Good enough for now! My bed full of takeoffs and parts I've painted and prep'd. My sad front end with my leg sticking thru it... [/QUOTE]

Time to grow your hair out, Marine!
Your wife will love the truck as much as you do by getting in there and getting her hands dirty. I need a woman like that. |
