Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
I fixed a striped loose rusted stud on my top speaker grille molding.

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
Well, I pushed the frame out to take some pictures. Its the first time its seen the daylight in awhile. After I took some pictures and looked at them, I realized how much of a mess the garage is. Uhuh. Started cleaning up, got distracted by shiney things and decided to pull the motor from the rolling cradle and put it on the stand to continue assembly.

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
spent the night getting my engine ready to fire up for the first time since the rebuild, installed temp wiring, temp gauges, filled with oil & primed, double checked everything.... then the moment of truth, hit the starter button it struggled to turn over a few times and tried to fire, then nothing, thats when I realized I overlooked a minor detail ...... dohhh I forgot to put the battery on charge last night.
 guess I'm waiting one more night

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
IT'S ALIVE...IT'S ALIVE!!!!!!!
Finaly got the engine running! had the valves a bit too tight. sounds mean as hell  . might be a bit too loud but it's hard to tell with the sound bouncing off the walls in the shop. I Frankensteind the bare minimum wires and key gauges to get it running and for brake in but it will stay that way till after paint. still have some trouble shooting and tuning to do but am just happy she runs again.
