What Ya'll get done this Mardi Gras Weekend?

[shelby987]

For the first weekend in a LONG time....i was actually productive with my truck.....pulled the front hubs and replaced both inner and outter wheel bearings both sides (quite the friction fit on those races!), installed locking hubs on my front axle, put in a clutchable fan, and installed my PB booster......which of course meant my air cleaner no longer fit.....ahhh....its never ending!

I installed the rear window in my 67. I tried installing the windshield and learned that if you hit the windshield with a hammer (even a "soft" deadblow), it will break. I guess that I will have a professional complete the next one. I was so close, it just would not quite set correctly. Oh well, lesson learned. The biggest regret is that I spent about 4 hours on the windshield that I could have been doing something else!

I got my airbags installed on the back of my 'burb. I got the 6" drop kit from early classic, but when I let the jack down, I thought the thing was going thru the floor! It had about an inch between the u-bolt and the frame. Couldn't drive it like that, and I didn't want a C-notch. So, upgrade time! The ECE guys are great, they helped out with shipping, too. I never thought I would put bags on any of my vehicles, but I really like them. There may be some in my 68 elky's future too! I also got some relays installed on my headlights.

I did some clean up on the front end and ordered all of the suspension/steering parts from NAPA....ball joints, tie rods, pitman, idler, a-arm saft assy, etc. Didn't intend on spending that much but everything will be new.

I've got the drop spindles and 4" drop springs from GMCPaul's so.....next weekend I'll start the rebuild on the front end. Once that's finished, in goes the fresh 350/350 combo.

It's amazing how much gets done when you actually do some work.
