Re: What did you do to your truck today!
Picked up one of these, should give the thing a bit more oomph when starting, 900 amps cold cranking.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
Well combonation between yesterday and today. Yesterday pulled the seat and gas tank out of the 72. The tank was half full of old gas and full of pin holes, pulled the sending unit out to see about saving it, looks like a big NO. Today we pulled the dog house off the 70 'burb. Trying to make it easier on myself taking the transmission crossmember out to swap it into my 67.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
I think I cracked the piston or broke a ring. Too much blow by and runs rough. Pulled it out and waiting on a GF to come over and pick which motor to put back in.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
I did it! I did it!
After owning my truck for nearly 13 years, I fixed the spedometer!! I replaced the spedometer cable for the second time and this time it works. The "old" new one was somehow stuck. My truck has been at the 38,908.8 mile mark for as long as I have owned it. I am prould to say in all this time I have not gotten a speeding ticket.  Now I wonder how many miles I have on the rebuilt motor I did nearly 10 years ago! Keith Last edited by lil hoodlum; 05-31-2010 at 07:17 PM. Reason: mispelling |

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
Saturday I drove it over to a welding shop where a friend works and he redid my exhaust from the mufflers back and sent it straight out the back. Sounds good! Today I installed the fuel cell for good and got the lines ran up to where it'll tie into the original lines. Hope to have the bed back on it by the 12th for a carshow, shouldn't be a problem.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
Took it to see my grandfather [at the cemetery] he was in a wheelchair when I was restoring and allways asked why do you waste so much time working on it just buy a new truck. When it was done I was able to get him out for a ride with a little help from my friends and I will never forget that big smile he had and he liked it. He passed away 2 weeks later.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
Put down carpet strips in the back of the Burb, cleaned it up a bit from its road trip to the swap meet last weekend, and started tearing down a 70 350 that's been sitting on the stand.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
Finally found the blocked brake line and replaced it with new ones. Now have fluid going to all 4 corners.
Got Rusty out of the garage for the first time in a few weeks. She needs to get some "new" rubber and to hit the street for a bit. |
