Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
Got both new seats mounted and wired tonight. The six way, lumbar and heaters all work. I wired the heaters so that if the switch is left on and you unbuckle the seat belt they will automatically cutoff.

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
Got my frame back on the ground. Had 2 flat tires previously, so technically it would not roll anywhere. Sorry for the cell phone pics.

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
Well I hate to admit it but it was 77 here today so all I did was drive it. Wed high may be as high as 40 with snow likely.

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
Finally tightened the throttle return spring and discovered a fuel leak, fixed it bet that improves my MPG. and it's so cool to have my engine RPMs drop down to it's base idle between shifts.

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
Placed my order with LMC for a new gas tank, sending unit, filler neck grommet, and turn signal lever. Got the jitters pulling the trigger on what has been my biggest expenditure on this truck so far. Went ahead and topped it off with a new fuel pump, hard line, and a few tools to make everything happen. To make things sweeter, I had one of my regular customers donate a pair of HD coil over rear shocks that he had taken off a 72 K20. They should go nicely on Grunt.
Hoping to have almost everything together enough to start driving him to work on a regular basis within the next week or two. Thank goodness I live in a small town, the cops know me, and know that my truck used to be driven by the guy who used to service their cruisers. That should let me drive him around my town without to much trouble.

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
Installed new 15" Grant steering wheel. I do like the extra room! Also changed oil/filter--one of my favorite things to do on a crisp fall day in S Texas.

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
Upgraded to the best pair of shocks Monroe offered for a smooth ride, did some wiring work. My heater fan wasn't working. Installed a new steering gear box. Hope to have time to drive it some tomorrow, I'm tired and hungry this evening.

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
On my 70 CST, removed rear coil springs, replaced trailing arm, pulled and replaced a long bed passenger side, ground off some rust on the frame. Didn't make a ton of progress, but had beautiful weather to work outdoors; very therapeutic.

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
Finally my pittman arm came in, installed it and took her for a spin, with those new shocks and that new steering gear box it's a new truck, just a sweet old ride. Just what I wanted.

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
Got the new fuel pump in, along with the new alternator bracket, now it moves fuel, and the belt doesn't squeal. Half way through getting the turn signal switch replaced, and still need to get a few other things done. Hopefully tomorrow.
