Re: What did you do to your truck today part IV
Looks good...sometimes you just need to have a place to sit your drink. I need to come up with something for a cup holder. I usually drink 20oz cokes and need something for that.

Re: What did you do to your truck today part IV
I cut the super rusty 69 bed sides off my trailer today so that I can bolt on the old bed sides I recently swapped out from Frankentruck

Re: What did you do to your truck today part IV
I installed my Clifford intake with 12Bolt cast iron headers and a Holly 450 3BBL (converted via 12Bolt kit) and got it fired up last night!
Need to dial it in now and get an exhaust installed. I borrowed this pipe bender from a neighbor to bend my throttle linkage and it rocks! Initial results... Sounds Good! |

Re: What did you do to your truck today part IV
Since my 98 Silverado is torn apart in the backyard , the 63 had to be put into service ... Time to get serious and get both of them up to snuff ..

Re: What did you do to your truck today part IV
I upgraded the shift knob on my B&M ratchet shifter...This was from a walking stick I've had for years that is no longer made, a resin skull with actual silver overlay so it has an amazing look and feel...well, as long as you like skulls.

Re: What did you do to your truck today part IV
Installed a set of bumper guards I bought years ago and painted up the valve cover to run the pcv setup on the ol v6.

Re: What did you do to your truck today part IV
I upgraded my headlight circuit to full 12GA Wires, 12GA Relays, Circuit Breakers (H/L) and Ceramic Connectors to put more power to the lights and off the switch. Currently running Phillips Halogen Sealed Beams. The difference was AMAZING this morning on the way into work! So much more light than I had previously. I read that you lose up to 30% light output with factory wiring, it sure looked like a lot more than that to me when it was all done.
Next up, Cibie 82440 glass with HELLA H4 100/80W High Wattage Bulbs. |

Re: What did you do to your truck today part IV
When I was rebuilding my engine. I found a dist that I didn't know where it came from. It looked new so I dropped it in points and all. The truck started running a bit jerky and I figured it was an ignition problem.
I was up in Reno last week so I strolled into The Summit Racing Store and picked up a new Petronix Dist. I installed it and re gaped the plugs to .040. One was actually at .050, no wonder why the points couldn't keep up. I must say the difference is night and day with the new dist in.

Re: What did you do to your truck today part IV
Upgraded alternator after mine failed on me last week. Went with a Delco Internally Regulated model so deleted the external regulator and adjusted wiring, and upsized the lead wire run from battery to alt to 10GA. Much better now!

Re: What did you do to your truck today part IV
I'm going to shampoo the seat I found that Pick-n-Pull for 60 bucks. I do have a seat cover for it just want to clean it up a bit before I put it in my truck.
