Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
Pulled the drivetrain and front end yesterday. Today the drivetrain went to its new owner.

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
Nothing to the truck but I finally went and bought a garage heater and mounted it.. tomorrow Ill have to push the Vette out so I can get to the gas line stubbed into the wall behind it and run it to the heater and fire that bad boy up. No more freezing days and nights out there

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
Finally got to put my cab on my frame....it's only been 3 years and 10 months since tear down....wire harness is next I'd say..oh ya, I got my engine started too after new forged crank and roller cam, custom TPI fuel injection. I had it started without the cab on, I just rigged up a tank and battery...sounds healthy! (406 ci).

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
....more stripping.... Im thinking that when I get to the bed Im gonna get some paint stripper....
The cab is completely stripped except under it and Ill get that when we lift it off the frame. The right front fender is ordered. Once I get my "after Christmas bonus Ill order the cab corners and inner rocker patches and the lower inner left side door patch along with the bed front. Still deciding on doing the wood bed floor or not.

I realized it's unlikely I'll get my 292 overhaul finished before the paint Jail needs a drive line to install so I hoisted the old 250 CID i6 onto an engine stand and began stripping it down and cleaning the engine and all those ding dang brackets.....
Whew , I'm tired and still have lots to do plus I need to find a pair of those side plates that fit 194/230/250 engines ~ this engine has chrome covers and i want stock .

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
Actually been over the last few days but, began Vintage Air install. Much more difficult than I was expecting, and just when I thought I was making headway I found out they sent me the wrong compressor mounting bracket. They did agree to send out the proper one but I'm still on hold for another week.

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
I ran electrolysis on my radiator hold down brackets. The process works and is cool as all get out, but I guess 2.5 hours isn't enough time. Not a lot of rust came off although a good bit was on the sacrificial steel. It did remove most of the paint though.
I'll try again tomorrow and go for 12 hours running time. ![]() |

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
Started pulling all the salvageable parts off of the ol' 283. Opened her up, found out she's a very dirty girl.
