My turn for a "What did you get done this weekend?" thread! - Page 2 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

good progress this weekend. buttoned up the carrier bearing mount. made a bracket for the air tank and got it mounted, welded and painted. did the same for the air compressor.

the big accomplishment of the weekend was getting one of the C-notches in. after getting that done, i just had to see how the axle fit. looked good, but i'm gonna have to do something about the brake line on the P side. the T is really close to the frame, and will bust the line if it were to bottom out. I'll probably try to move it over a couple inches and call it good.

I can't wait to get this on the road!!

Nothing much here...I just ground off my year old paint on the firewall and shaved most of the holes and capped the wire gutter. I hope to have the rest of the holes filled next weekend and start slapping some mud on it.

No truck work, currently pulling an all nighter for my engineering final project. I'll take a nap after Calc II in the morning.

Currently at 15hrs straight in the lab, will hit 20hr straight before I'm out, and still not completed, so I will rinse and repeat tomorrow.

This weekend I popped the top on my 70 K5 that I have recently got roadworthy! Diggin' being topless!
