What did you get done? 3/18/07 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

1969k10stepside · 03-18-2007, 07:20 PM

I didnt even look at the 71 4x4.Rising scrap prices bought me out and I started cutting up all the parts trucks I have after saving the good parts.This week the parts trucks are being taken to the scrapyard.What about the rest of y'all?

Longhorn Man · 03-18-2007, 07:26 PM

tried to get the temp motor (425) in... didn't go so well. Now I'm pimpin in a shop truck... old 300,000 mile F-one-fix-me.

ChevyFan24 · 03-18-2007, 08:01 PM

Cleaned up the garage a little, got the parts I wanted to keep off of my parts truck, and started installing my stainless brake lines.

Piece of Work · 03-18-2007, 08:09 PM

Didn't do any work on the truck, But I bought a new 4HP 60 Gal. compressor, D/A, and gravity feed spray gun. Should be starting the body work next week. Oh, and a new lawn mower - had to cut the grass.

williamt · 03-18-2007, 08:17 PM

Well thanks to the faqs on this site I rebuilt my first holley 4 barrel thank you then rounded up a eldebrock performer intake and put it all togther . thanks for all the vauble info.

Sonny · 03-18-2007, 08:20 PM

Daughter's B-day (5); she's a St. Patrick's Day girl so we celebrated. No work this weekend.

RedZ71 · 03-18-2007, 08:29 PM

got another garage here at my apts, so 'ol "rusty" dont get any rustier. and changed the fuel filter to one of those whiz-bang glass ones.

*72CSTC5* · 03-18-2007, 08:33 PM

Bought a pair of NOS 72 Texas truck plates. Bought a tailgate from STP 67-72. Nice score of both of them I do say.

herb101 · 03-18-2007, 08:46 PM

I got some vinyl and started to go crazy on custom door panels (not very custom) and such. Started my stereo install to try to cover the POs butchery. Finished nothing thanks to a migrane headache mid-day today.

What I did: Put in a new distributor cap, ordered stuff to keep UPS in business.
Celebrated oldest daughter's 11th birthday. Here's to yours, too, Sonny!

What Livrat did: Removed my shaved doors and put on my originals that have handles

I tried to pay him off with coffee, doughnuts, the old doors, etc., but he would have none of it. While he was at it he put in my new key cylinder and identified that my 305 came out of a '78 Monte Carlo. Genius!

This board rocks!!

**clay68c10** · 03-18-2007, 08:49 PM

Did some handyman stuff on the house and went to a car show on saturday.
Also filled up old thirsty's tank. I'm up to 10.4 mpg!!!! That's up from 8 with a carb.

centsless · 03-18-2007, 08:50 PM

Played in the house today. Moved a light switch, receptacle and a phone line to a wall that I built today. Started tearing the other wall down.

msgross · 03-18-2007, 08:51 PM

shoveled snow (75 last week and 10-12" Thursday Night!) took kids sledding

picked up my brake calipers/pads and tore apart a Dana44 for parts.

2nd_wnd · 03-18-2007, 08:55 PM

didnt do anything to the 72 chevy, except haul the parts to a storage area.

Got the 72 gmc temp. motor in and up and running, no it's all mine, traded my old daily driver for it.

I will get a thread with pics going tomorrow, it's to dark to take pictures at this time.

I have sisters now.

Betty - 1972 chevy c-10 (future show truck in restoration)
Betsy - 1972 GMC super custom ( daily driver)

Both LWB

jeffspower · 03-18-2007, 08:57 PM

Put new carpet in the '88 and watched my dog have some fun.

northerngmc · 03-18-2007, 09:35 PM

Plowed the driveway again, and dreamed about spring and starting work on the 69 GMC again......

**hevy_chevy67** · 03-18-2007, 09:43 PM

Waxed my truck, and thought to myself how nice it would be driving it.

I hate winter...

JCA1972 · 03-18-2007, 09:44 PM

Went down to the Houston Raceway and watched the filming of Pinks All out, it was a blast.

cdowns · 03-18-2007, 09:48 PM

well i spent alot of time and gas this whole weekend lookin at trucks and cars for sale// lots of overpriced hacked up crap and i've still got an empty garage

Shyguy · 03-18-2007, 09:50 PM

Didn't do anythng on the 71 this weekend.

My son stopped by today and we talked about old trucks for a while.

Went over to my brother's and helped him install brake pads, a new axle seal on the front differential and bleed the front brakes on his 98 Chevy 4X4.

Other than that I was getting stuff together for our trip down to Fort Smith, Arkansas next weekend to visit some friend.

Spent the weekend in shorts and flip flops. 80 degrees, light breeze, had to put on a shirt after 8 pm though. Gotta love CA weather!

But I did sell my parts truck and started sanding my new to me bed. Now I just need to find a way to dispose of my old bed...

1LoC10 · 03-18-2007, 10:36 PM

This was actually during the week.. but I changed this

to this

67CHIP72 · 03-18-2007, 10:49 PM

Picked up my powder coated Rally Wheels. Polished the trim rings and caps. Got a new set of BFG's and Lug Nuts. Still need to get SS bolts for the caps(last owner painted orange). Then I put a few miles on them.

ThatOneBlue67 · 03-18-2007, 10:51 PM

Wow, I'm sorry for all you snow guys. IT's been nothing but beautiful, 75 degree sunshine here in North California. I got my motor running, which now has aluminum intake and a 700R4. Not finished, but nearly there

724x4a/cchevy · 03-18-2007, 11:07 PM

finally finished my led brake lights!!! and yes i know, i accidentally blew a couple lines in the pass side and one line in the driver's side. This pair set the learning curve

Believe me they are much brighter in person.
