I started on my rear air bag install. I removed the PO's cut coils. There are no controls for the bags yet, there is only an air valve like an air shock.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
Drove about 2 hours for some 69 camaro 396 power steering brackets, then spent most of the day trying to mount my p.s pump from a 69ish truck w/remote resevor. I need to braze the return line fitting back to the pump and install lines and one project out of many will be done, or closer to being done.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
Installed an almost new Edelbrock 500cfm carb to replace the 750 that was way too large for my 305.
Running great now and hopefully burns less gas!!

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
Went to start the truck yesterday and nothing. So today I was doing a little diagnostic work and found the a few of the wires on the plug that goes through the firewall were fraid and broken. Then I spend the next two hours going to all the local parts stores trying to find new connectors with no luck. They just kept sending me on a wild goose chase. Came home and looked through my catalogs and still no luck. NAPA could order them for me but I have to buy a box of 50 for $35. Kinda stuck now. Anybody know where I can find 4 of these.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
Well it was so freakin cold and windy I didn't get to swap on my rally wheels and new tires like I wanted so instead I used it to run around town some, peeling out a couple times (just cause I could) and then I used it as it should be to haul a trans and rearend from a buddies.
