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

I know Roger and Connie from Outback Truck parts, they are great people and are really fair with all thier prices. Bought alot of my parts from them, but then again I am still not finished.

Friday I ordered about $1000 worth of stuff from Summit. A new set of drop spindles, rear shackles, rear sway bar, poly cab bushings, 140 amp alternator, 3" x-pipe and a Holley rebuild kit. That should keep me busy for a while.

Took my sons to Lake Conroe Saturday and did a bit of skiing. The water is still a bit on the cool side, but we had a good time. My oldest son is finally old enough to drive the boat while I ski.

Sunday, I stripped the upper control arms I bought last weekend. I am getting good at removing control arm bushings. I was hoping to get my lower A arms done, but none of the parts stores around me had a ball joint press available.

New shocks, new rotors, brake pads, alignment, replaced a couple of warn suspension parts, rotated tires.

Found a slight fuel leak from one of the lines (just old age) that will get fixed tonight.

Put wire cages around my tomatoes. Took the front cap off my donor Chevelle then pulled the frame out from under it. Left the body in my garage { my wife won't let me leave it in the yard. } and put the frame in my shop so I can start tearing it apart.
