Re: What did you do to your truck today part IV
Mocked up Frankentruck's Christmas present to make sure everything clears.
Should I keep them red or paint them black?

Re: What did you do to your truck today part IV
Got the tailgate on and the windshield in. Neither was an easy task.
Happy to say they are behind me. |

Put my new brake booster and hinges on before I head back to work up north.

Re: What did you do to your truck today part IV
Updated the cooling system between Christmas and New Year by modifying the fan shroud and changing out the fans to Derale Performance HO 12-in. fans and inset mounting them on the shroud. The temps stay steady now at 180 in stop-go L.A. traffic.

Re: What did you do to your truck today part IV
I removed my old jazz fuel cell in order to make room for my new Boyd tank. And new AN 6 fuel line which will replace my old and too large AN 8 fuel line. I am not sure whether to go with braided stainless an line or stainless hard line. I have had the tank for around 15 years.

Re: What did you do to your truck today part IV
what's the difference between a Fuel Cell and a Gas Tank?

Safety fuel cells work just like the gas tank on your street car, but they are designed to prevent spilled fuel in the event of a racing incident. ... Fuel cells generally consist of three parts: The outer can or enclosure, the bladder, and the foam baffling. The fuel cell enclosure is typically made of steel or aluminum.

1. the cell started to warp. The top started sagging inward and the bottom started bowing upward. Yes it was vented, and no, the straps were not to tight. 2. The sending unit did not go all the way to the bottom of the cell, so I never had a correct reading of how much fuel I had left. 3. It came with AN -8 fittings so I ran an -8 fuel line that I think has been causing all sorts of problems sense I installed it. I know I could just replace the line but I needed an excuse to replace the cell with a tank  4. I was constantly smelling gas around the cell. If that doesn't convince you, would you like to buy a used jazz fuel cell? |

Re: What did you do to your truck today part IV
Todays day of self isolation included installing the new front park lights on the GMC. The counterpart lenses come with rivets which are way bigger than originals, and don't look good installed...5/16" as apposed to the lense openings of 3/16"...you can see the difference in the picture before and after. I filed down the rivets by hand to fit. Drilled out the holes on the housing as the rivet stems are a little larger too. Used an oversized punch with the lenses placed on an anvil to gently splay the hollow core aluminum rivets. Thinking I might try a felt pen or paint to tone down the color of the aluminum heads...Were the originals brass or metal? Problem solved, and they look great

Re: What did you do to your truck today part IV
Finally got the Vintage Air installed and charged. I didn't like the look of the plastic box. Built this carpeted cover to reduce the fan noise and attempt to improve the look. It didn't turn out quite like the idea in my head, but it did reduce the noise and is easy to install and remove. The back was left open for air flow, only sides, front, and bottom are covered.

Re: What did you do to your truck today part IV
Finished removing rear springs and mounts today in order to put new drop springs on my ‘63 longbed. Problem is the bottom bolts on both trailing arms are stuck in there. Heads snapped off while trying to remove them. Looks like tomorrow I will be drilling them out.

Re: What did you do to your truck today part IV
That sway-bar reminds me I need shocks on my own Kidney Bouncer.
I've been pulling my hair out trying to figure out why my battery isn't charging and staying away from hammers and large wrenches so I don't do anything I might seriously regret!
