What did you get done 10/25/14 edition - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**old Rusty C10** · 10-26-2014, 05:19 PM

I got quite a lot accomplished this week got the bed off the chassis and onto a trailer for the impending trade. I got the cab mounted on the frame and the whole thing loaded onto the trailer to get to the shop for sanding and paint and I pretty well got the fenders and nose prepped for paint. pics in build thread
How about you all?

All I did was install a new oil pressure sending unit after searching the four corners of the earth for a new 45* 1/8in pipe fitting to replace the one I broke off in the block trying to remove the old one.

Dropped the driveshaft out of the 77, new U joints, took about a cup of caked grease and dirt off (the underside of this truck was sprayed with gease before it moved into the gravel pit), started it (2nd time in 4 years), drove it around the yard and put it back in the barn. Put my 99 in the barn until I get ambitious and look at the oil pump.

pretty dismal truck week!

I put my new tail light lens and buckets on my 82 K5 Blazer ( even though none of the lights work right ) and tonight I will be putting it into storage so I have to fill it with gas and put a bit of air in the tires.

Other than that, I got all the leaves off the lawn so now it looks like green carpet, clean as a whistle. I also ran new wiring on my ATV trailer.

This weekend remove the stock intake manifold and carb. Replaced with some elderbrock units. Runs a lot better.

walkerb · 10-27-2014, 09:42 AM

Moved the 75 to its new pre divorce storage

Malibuick231 · 10-27-2014, 10:23 AM

Fixed the drive side window the person before me bolted the window track in the wrong spot and it all most fell out.

johnwaynejeep · 10-27-2014, 01:20 PM

I didn't get anything done this week, but I think I got a fair amount done before the onset of winter in Alaska.

Rear brakes, new shoes/wheel cylinders/rust control on all components/speed bleeders and a bleed and balance on the system.

Driveshaft, new front shaft CV joint/U-joint/greased the whole unit

Guage cluster, new circuit board, new lights, added tach, traced and tested all gauge signals and got most of the guages working.

new tires

Manual choke installed

There's still a ton of things to do, but I'm comfortable with the progress so far.

**Sodak** · 10-27-2014, 03:05 PM

Took the runnig boards off. took both the front and rear recievers off.. fixed the parking lamps ,they were litteraly falling apart.. took the after market grille off and put back the stock 81-2 grille .

SCOTI · 10-27-2014, 07:22 PM

Not much on the dually. I did spot a small show going on in a parking lot while eating lunch so I did a quick walk through & noticed this Super Clean little gem.....

**Dads79GMC** · 10-27-2014, 08:00 PM

Moved the cab from the barn to the garage and ordered some Dirty Dingo mounts for my LSx build. Mike

engairuph · 10-27-2014, 08:11 PM

Didn't get much done, but I did clean the blazer up and hit a cruise night with the fam.

Hiluxxulih · 10-29-2014, 08:19 PM

I removed my right side valve cover to fix the oil drip coming out of the oil filler tube .

Funny you should mention the Chalet, I just saw one for sale at an auction here in Fairbanks. It was non-running, but the camper was in real good shape. I was thinking about buying it, but I wanted a pickup for the bed. I probably could've gotten it for under $2K.

It's sometimes funny what you pass up not realizing what you're looking at.

Low84 · 10-31-2014, 02:52 AM

Got my two replacement coil packs I broke, the IAC valve and TPS (everything AC Delco or Delphi). Also realized the screws are some oddball size, got those coming in the mail tomorrow. If that's the case I plan on having it done by the end of the day.

NJ C10 Guy · 10-31-2014, 03:52 AM

Received all the parts for my transmission swap, replaced the fuel pump, learned I needed a regulator so I got one of those, found a potential electrical headache, and started getting quotes for my ring and pinion swap. Not much accomplished work wise but it's all stuff that needs to happen before the wheels are in motion.
