What did you get done 11/22/2009 edition - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**old Rusty C10** · 11-22-2009, 06:00 PM

I didnt do a dern thing truck related except for trying to locate a couple of parts. My project is kinda parked for winter anyway how about you all?

Also let me take this opportunity to wish each of you a very happy thanksgiving and heres to hoping that those who are travelling have a safe trip and those who are hosting friends or family have a wonderful time together

Scootin 81 C20 · 11-22-2009, 06:09 PM

I didn't get much done either Bob. I did however rotate my tires on Friday.

westie 666 · 11-22-2009, 06:53 PM

Nothing much done Saturday, but Sunday pulled the old 350 for a complete rebuild.

S10Fan · 11-22-2009, 07:18 PM

I had an awesome weekend! Drove the Heap across the state to visit my brother and sister in law. On the way back I stopped in Charlottesville Va and met fellow board member "Sluggish" (Will) for a burger, fries, coke and some bench racing.

Will and I decided that Charlottesville would be a great central location for a future meet of forum members. Well, members in the Va, NC, MD, W VA, PA region, and of course anyone else that wants to make the trip.

Seriously, we could plan a spring '10 meet, nothing formal, just a casual weekend of fellowship and lots of bench racing.

bluex · 11-22-2009, 07:24 PM

I only had one night off this weekend so I stayed on the third shift schedule and showed my '78 some love.

New parts:

Temp sender, which i hope fixes the problem, wiring is good so I'll be hunting a gauge if it dosent

Blower motor and wheel, should have changed this 5 yrs ago.

1 1/16" Swaybar with ECE frame brackets. I've had this for about 5 yrs.

New to it black seatbelts had these for about 5 yrs too.

Also did a oil change and service, but ran out of grease as I did the upper ball joints, so I'll have to finish the rest of that later.

I cleaned up the underside of the engine as it has an oil leak, only when its running that I cant track down. It looks to be maybe a combo of the pass side valve cover and the timing cover. I was gonna drive it today, but the rain put a stop to that.

Nothin, got 2"-3" of snow this morning. Wiped some snow off the cowl area (it was snowing sideways under the carport) and that was all I did to it all weekend. I think winter is here.

Thanks and what Right hand drive parts do you have? I think I am going to use a steering box from an 88-98 since they bolt to the inside of the frame.

hot trux · 11-22-2009, 11:02 PM
