Finally fixed my gas sending unit. Float was missing. 5 dollar part and 10 in shipping but at least now I know how much is in the tank.

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
Picked this kit off cl today hoping I can fit it nicely to my 67 swb stepper.
I'm sure I'll have too do some cutting and welding but it's a start and it'll save me some $. Then I can take off my "fits all getter running dont disturb the nieghbor header mufflers". They work but they are loud but not nearly as loud as open headers going around the block. Oh and also cleaned out the cowl and Got the radio,ebrake,dash lites and dome lite workin in the 1ton stepper it's about as far as I'm going with it,soon time To Send It Down The road.

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
Looked at Raymond sitting in the garage getting more and more pissed about the little body work things that the body shop screwed up... if it weren't for the little screw ups I could have this painted long ago... Also looked at Haulin in the driveway dead to the world... I have a short somewhere that keeps draining the battery and I haven't found it yet...

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
Got a fresh Turbo 350 installed in Kazoo this weekend, and while off last week, installed a complete set of XRF balljoints. The joints are super nice, maybe better than Moog. The have a million-mile warranty and were a breeze to install.
Need an alignment and a pair of tires before winter, thats next.

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
More on the photo above, takin it down to bare frame. Then sandblast and reassemble everything new. It's amazing how clean this truck is, once I powerwashed the bottom of the cab it is original red primer.
That 307 in the photo will be set aside in favor of a 400. |

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
Started working on the truck body today to see if there was any shine left. Used polishing compound and wax jus around the hood and gas cap. Up close you can see the fine cracks and scratches. Gives it character, I mean it ain't no show truck. Lol just my daily driver

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
Got it way up on stands today to start mocking up this exhaust. I put the tail pipes in and realized I needed the bumper on it so out it came.
I sure will need some cutting and welding. But it's all good I can make it work. Sorry dude I forgot too get the part # today. Anyway it is a heart throb square body exhaust for those who want too know. An since I was under there I took a few pics of the underneth as dusty an dirty as it can be. U can see my do not disturb mufflers. And my custom crossmember. It seems I found a new avatar for now.

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
Well I got this far an that was the easy part.
I need to get gas for mr. Miller today I might have enough for a few more tacks. The tail pipes are not gonna be fun. But i do have 2 pcs of 3" x 24" long ss tubing that I'll make tips with. Wish I would've pulled the bed off before starting oh well. Nice steering wheel.i like it.

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
Yhea it will be. The intermediate pipes pretty much fell into place I might need a lil' shortening yet. I have 67-69 camaro/68-74 Nova headers on my bb. They fit pretty good except they exited rite on a oe truck auto c member. So I made one. They don't hang below the frame. Oh an the z bar needed a lil modding. The tail pipes is where the "cutting and welding" part comes into play. The ps isn't too bad but the ds. Is tight

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
100 bucks worth of electrical components, wires, plastic wiring retainers, spark plug wires, glove box, and finally wire gutters.
And I have not even scratched the surface. |
