Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
After almost 3 years of essentially doing other to my old K/10 it got a little love over the long weekend!
The tranny gave up the ghost in 2013, and with a new business, life, ect. it sat on the back burner for a bit. I did have a trans built, and went ahead and pulled the 454 to fix a clearance issue. While the motor was out, and the truck was no longer my daily driver I decided a new cam was in order. While finishing up the cam install I dropped a head and broke a valve spring, valve, guide... Off to the machine shop. I got the engine put back together and installed, and the truck sat for several months. At one point it was shoved outside and covered with a tarp. After moving it to my new shop, I went to putting it all back together and found water in the pan. Not just a few drops, it was filled to the bottom of the pistons!!! Yank the motor back out and realize its no quick fix, back apart it comes and I send the bottom end to the machine shop for a freshen up. I ordered my parts, and re-assembled the engine this past spring. We got it back between the rails, trans installed and then life got in the way again for a few months. At christmas dinner the old man finally harassed me enough about it that we made plans to spend a couple days working on it over the weekend. Over the course of a few hours we were able to tie up most loose ends, got the T-case back in the truck and are now working on the small details to get it back to running and driving. After 3 years, I can finally see the light at the end of the tunnel. I have been building cars for over 10 years and NEVER had one apart this long. Its amazing what life can do to our plans sometimes! |

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
I finally got around to installing my Undercover Innovations panels. I needed to Dremel out a hole for the A/C and locate some black edging (as they didn't supply enough to trim both panels completely). Also applied some paint to the bottom of the battery box.

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
Well nothing has been going on for the 70, but I did finally put a new engine in Lula-Bell. Another project down one closer to getting back on the 70.

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
After 5 years since teardown, I pulled my cab out of storage today.
Gotta get the bent and rusty inner cowl taken off before taking it to be media blasted and primed this coming week. Pretty excited! I think, lol... |

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
Found a pair of Firestone Destination A/T's new for $150, 31x10.50x15's and had them mounted on the rear. Running Michelin 235-75-15 on the front with 8" rallies. Looks a little high in the rear at first glance.
Tomorrow, I am mounting a factory 1 1/8" sway bar, should bring things together up front, replaced ball joints a month ago. Just got done, too late for pics, maybe tomorrow.... Tom
