Re: What did you get done 1/29/2012 edition
I put in another re-man power steering pump today. Got everything bled, and it worked fine. Then I went to back the nose of the truck out of the garage. I made it 5 feet and my fuel pump quit. Sometimes I think this truck is trying to kill me. Thank God I had a brand new one waiting. Hey, at least it happened 5 feet from my garage instead of 100 miles away, like what would usually happen.

Got the last bits of the motor installed and got her fired up after almost a year. Then started wiring up the electric fans and temp gauge.

Re: What did you get done 1/29/2012 edition
Performed a heater core - box swap on my 75 (top) by swapping in reworked one sourced from '78 (bottom). The 'swap' went through OK. It's amazing how much crud accumulates inside these things over decades! Now I have functioning heat and defrost. However, as soon as buttoned up heater system alternator went into a quasi charging mode ~ putting out barely 13Vdc vs. normal 13.8 to 14.3Vdc. Looks like another bridge rectifier went south!

Re: What did you get done 1/29/2012 edition
Bolted in my aluminium bed floor, shot primer on the light bar and test fitted bar/lights on the bed.
Put new brakes in the rearaxle, and punched a hole in my forehead when a spring slipped off one of the hooks. Finaly took off manifolds and drilled out 2 broken bolts, now I can start fitting my new exhaust. Found a set of 18" rims that might end up under my truck if the seller can make up his mind about acualy selling (why do people advertice if they are not sure?)

Re: What did you get done 1/29/2012 edition
Lots of good projects going on. I swapped out my old leaky radiator and put in a nice 4 core, and swapped out my old leaky gas tank for a good one. No more coolant on the floor and no more stinky gas smelling garage.
