Re: What did you do to your truck today part III
Not worked on the truck........ BUT.
Well....... Today was just incredible. After Clems awesome party yesterday, he and Kim made breakfast of pancakes, sausage and coffee for 12 of us. After this, Clem, Bomp, McMurphy, Martin "mjh1965" Myself, Peter Hoffman and Jeff Falk all drove over to Mike Losh's shop where we all gave a hand lifting, cleaning and drinking beer and generally being amazed at his build, detail and finish on Boosted Bertha. Joined later by Sarah his wife, it was just such an amazing day. Build thread. http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=643425 What a privilege hanging with you guys. Now at Clems playing 8 Ball Pool with McMurphy, Bomp, Clem and Martin. Life rarely gets better than this.

Re: What did you do to your truck today part III
Seems you can run these trucks without oil in the trannies. Mine was bone dry and did it make noise. hahahha. I put oil in it today. The 3 speeds are tough. I drove it 130 miles yesterday and the gears were grinding and the trans sounded like poping pop corn when going slow.
 Time to get that 700 in there.

Re: What did you do to your truck today part III
Changed the Rear Shocks. Seems both left side shocks on my truck were dead. Handles real nice now. I put 4 Belltech Nitro 2 shocks in.

Re: What did you do to your truck today part III
I thought I'd spend a 1/2 hour fixing up my cobbed together alternator bracket.
I like the passenger side and have a lwp so I used the stock late model L bracket. I have early heads tho so made a rear mount which uses the pump to block bolts. TA DA. Lines up perfectly. Then discovered my shiney new chrome top bracket doen't fit--period. Ths stupid thing lines up right in the middle of the alternator boss. Back to cobbing up a spacer and longer allen head, which will require removing the fan to install. Who designs this stuff? W |

Re: What did you do to your truck today part III
Paid import duties on a package of brake goodies that has travelled thousands of miles to get to me, only to be held for ransom by our postal service
 ....and shelled out another few hundred on more parts for the front suspension rebuild, coming to me courtesy of a certain forum vendor

Our weekend project: After about 6 months of sanding, Bondo & primer I finally got busy with a spray gun, with assistance from my awesome daughter and dogs of course.

Thank you, I made them so they fold out of the way when not in use.
