Great shot with the horse. My wife is a horse person too. Not afraid of anything including getting dirty or a broken nail here and there. So how did the carb do?

Regarding horses and my wife, she is a dental hygienist by trade so she has no squeamishness about anything and she isn't afraid to get dirty. We spend a lot of time at the barn or out in the back country. I am a lucky guy. |

Your are a lucky man with a wife that will help, get dirty and not complain. Mine does the carpentery around our house, so I just let her.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
I finally got around to mounting the fuel tank between the rear frame rails. I like the way it turned out with the bottom of the tank even with the top of the axel tubes. Now all I have to do is finalize the filler location. I want to install it in the stepside fender but am not sure what style. But that is for the next weekend of free time.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
well went to try and get rear wheels off so i could change tires out as old ones will no longer hold air and need to roll on trailer but to my surprise once takeing off lug nuts wheels would not come off. so i teied hitting them with rubber mallet cause they are origanl ralleys and was gonna repaint and keep for now but found out real quick mallet wasnt doin anything except making me angry... so i sprayed centers down with good ol WD40 and came back later with a small sledge hammer...now im really mad they still wont come off..i dont want to ruin wheels but i dont kn if i have a choice... any ideas

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
That's a great looking battery hold-down!
Today I finished up two weeks of not driving Cecilia. I have been tore up about that. I finally got my radiator repair finished and some paint slapped down on my mount and bolts. I also gave my ancient (but newly rebuilt) alternator a polishing and painted the mounting arm. Then I drove her just because I could. ![]()

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
That's a nice color. Gold? Will the truck be a 2 tone or all that color?

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
It's going to be 2 toned.
![]() Hopefully we will finish the rest this week. It's over 100+ degs here so it depends how motivated we are. This heat is no fun to work in especially after working my normal job all day... Posted via Mobile Device Also yes it is gold, the metal halide lights make it look a little greenish. |

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
I have been racking my brain on setting up my electronic fuel pump because I am running an 89 454 that had a tbi on it. Well after some time I was always noticing a block off plate to where the fuel pump would be and finally I asked myself I wonder if the cam has a lobe on it to run a machanical fuel pump, so today I went to pick n pull and got a fuel pump rod and it inserted all the way, I had my son crank of over and to my relief it moved up and down, so now I am going to be running a machanical pump instead. My life just got a little simpler.
