What did you do to your truck today! - Page 250 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Haha on the undercoating, I did my whole under box and cab including wheel wells on my 4x4 lately and man the rubberized stuff won't clean off at all, arms, face and hands. Looked kind of funny for a few days but the truck looks good.

Mr.Hyde · 05-12-2013, 12:16 PM

Use olive oil to take off anything like paint or undercoating. Just a handy tip.

BigDaddyV · 05-13-2013, 07:53 PM

I drank beer while sitting on the tailgate, w/ my buds...

Delo69 · 05-14-2013, 12:54 AM

Used it like a truck and made a Lowes run to pick some things up for our garden. 10 bags of soil, 5 bags of manure, and 13 cinder blocks.

74baggedbug · 05-14-2013, 11:16 AM

Dropped it off at Roger Lewis Makeover for my vintage air!! He came very highly recommended and is one of their top 25 installers and vendors... I felt my truck was out if place when I saw the cars he was installing A/C ... He treated me very friendly and took the time to explain all what was involved. Can't wait to get it back

Got rid of the old burnt out exhaust and cheap headers and put in some proper ram horns. Runs smooth and quiet now, with only a slight drone at 1900rpm. I got away with only a bit more than $200 for the whole system. The most expensive piece was the Y-collector.

Everything pretty much bolted right up except for the Y-collector. It needed a bit of rework and tweaking to get it to line up just right without touching anything. Old headers in first pic.

budman k20 · 05-14-2013, 04:57 PM

Drove it to work and put on new wheels and tires.

Drove it to work to drop off a 350 turbo and 203 to a friend. Gotta love a usefull classic

Square_78 · 05-14-2013, 10:54 PM

New edelbrock valve covers and adjusted my rocker arms. One needs a new adjustment nut though as it keeps loosening up fast. I'll have to pick some up this week.
