Re: What did you get done 12/14/2009
I installed my new seat belt from KrazyRay. I got the male side installed, but I need some help on the socket size needed for the bolt that holds the female side to the floor. It's a metric that's abit larger than a 13/16". Any of you guys got an idea?

Re: What did you get done 12/14/2009
Just relaxing this weekend. The long days doing Santa's work this week have left me too exhausted to play in the garage. 9 more working days and my work life will return to normal.
BTW Bob, rained most of the weekend here too. Bummer.

IIRC its a 22mm. Went to a local pick n pull. Got a nice set of '86 black door panels and got one installed on the pass side. Half way done on the dr side. Also got a nice chevy grill, and a almost mint set of '86 black seat belts. A little cleaning and they will both be ready for ebay... Helped a friend with valve seals on his camaro, we got two cylinders done in 4 hrs. Think it would have been faster to go ahead and pull the motor.... before:  after:

Not much truck related, I welded a small crack I had in my frame on my 86 then picked up some grill stuff for my 91.

Re: What did you get done 12/14/2009
when I got off work Friday at 6 I worked til 10 on my truck getting the back up light to work first installed a switch and it was on all the time then I took if and noticed there was clip holding the ear on that work with the shifter then I went to put it on, the clips that hold it on popped off so I worked a hour on them then finally got back in with the switch then I lost the connector years ago so using spade connectors first try I had back up light in park and neutral then moving them around finally had back up lights then the factory connector broke I touched the wire, the exposed wire sparked on the column right in front of my face scared me to death. I also found out the wire was to short so I had to re route it. Then the horn button came unplugged it was also short, then I called it a day, Saturday worked from 8 to 7 on help putting a cummins back in a 05 3500. then came home and checked under the dash for any more loose connection and cleaned up the wires under the dash next I need to reroute the interior lighting wires "what was I thinking when I did it"

Re: What did you get done 12/14/2009
hacked a nice JVC stereo out of a junker honda with a hammer and got the gfs 80s vintage ski doo running and took it across the field, only for it to bog out and stall at the bottom of a hill, wouldn't fire up so drug it back to the shop with her truck, then just got home from earning my snow legs driving my POS in a M-Fer of a storm...fun day

Re: What did you get done 12/14/2009
Check for a plug in the pilot jet. Went through that problem a few months ago on a Yamaha TTR125, even after cleaning the carb. The passageway in those things are tiny and it doesn't take much to plug it up.
As for the truck, Built a dolly to hold the bed and took the front and rear glass out. Also removed the AC control and put some blue led's in to match the Dakota Digital cluster. |

Got the donar truck almost down to a rolling chassis, I posted pics in the build thread Project Zues, hopefully this week the cab will be off and I will get that old inline 6 outta there and really hit it hard.
Happy Holidays, Sarge

Re: What did you get done 12/14/2009
Finished grinding down the welds from the PO's C-notch and plasma'ed out a couple of frame plates for the new 4 link brackets.
Later on tonight I'll put together a thread in the project section on the overall project and update the pics in the suspension section. |

Re: What did you get done 12/14/2009
I got my truck to the house. I need to figure out the wiring under the hood so I can get it started. I have a few other small projects that I will start on and get those done and update regularly. I also got a 350 roller block for a future project.

I liked the idea and brought it to the 73-87 forum, and it's been a tradition every since. Bob has been gracious enough to continue the tradition and it's truly appreciated. All my truck stuff has centered around the 09 Sierra I just bought. I have been waiting for my Snulid to arrive and it came in on Saturday. I had that installed along with a bed mat. I dropped by the dealership and got my plates installed as well. Today I washed it and decided to pull some of the emblems off. I took 6 off, and plan to take at least two more....

Re: What did you get done 12/14/2009
I have been fixing wiring all week. My wife was out of town early in the week, so I got the chance to work later than usual. Whoever put the engine in my truck was nice enough to completely butcher a Painless wiring harness. I have pulled out probably 40 butt connectors, and soldered and shrink wrapped the wires. I also added the new (to me) seat belts I bought from member BruthaMan (Thanks, Wade!) and did some cleaning of my garage. It's nice to have a truck related update for a change.

I finally got around to getting my new engine painted. Here is a link to my build thread. Pics of the engine are at the bottom.
John's Project Other than that I put up the Christmas lights, and did a little Christmas shopping. |
