Re: What did you do to your truck today!

Took the Oreillys upper ball joints back out with vice grips, because they weren't really 3/4 ton 85 balljoints, even thought the box says they are. found some real 3/4 balljoints at another store, instock. Put those in. Yeh, they seat in the spindle. Finally got my 85 disk breaks in my 68. Found out the Tallon Hydraulics adapter for my hydraboost rotates the unit upside down, so have to return all my new stock 2004 Chevy hoses back to NAPA and make custom hoses. Guess I'll find out how good my Mastercool tubing flare tool works. I think it has the right dies. Also stripped a shock absorber mount stud. Guess it'd been torqued one too many times. Looking forward to being sure I'm going to stop in time. Jim

Nothing today (yet) but yesterday, made a breakthrough!

Finally had the time AND help: blew out the fuel and vent (EEC) lines. WOW. Ton of charcoal-like dust came out of both sections of the vent line.
