Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
I broke it.
On the way home from work, I heard a hissing sound, and soon the power steering wasn't. Popped the hood to find the expected spray of fluid in the front left corner. I man-handled him home, and now I have to refill the pump to see where the leak is. I *think* its a hose and *hope-and-pray* it's not the box.

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
Finally got brake fluid squirting from all four corners on my K10. Found the rear flex line had collapsed inside--likely original. Some more bleeding to do to get it right as the master cover (rebuilt unit) leaked so I used the old one.
Also installed the new glove box insert and will be doing the door and window seals as well as some other small items. Pertronix is next..... |

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
Yesterday, I took a broken header off. Today, I put one new one in, along with replacing the fuel pump and filter. (There's nothing like getting a gasoline bath right before supper!

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
Fit the new grille, mocked up some radiator brackets, and sat the bed back on the frame to get an idea on how Im going to do the fuel fill with the Boyd tank and stripped the driver side of the bed and uncovered quite a bit of work its gonna take to get it straight. No rust hidden under all that paint and bondo though.

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
Got to take mine on a road test and drove it about 120 miles to San Antonio.
I finished my transmission swap about two weeks ago and I'm loving the overdrive. I put a 200-4r in and cruise at about 2250 rpm to do 75 mph. Glad to be able to drive it again as it has been down for about 3 1/2 years. |

Installing Vintage AC in the Blazer. Good AC is a must have for the Power Tour.

Pure Toy - future trips to the dragstrip. Doesn't get out in the dirt much anymore. After suspension, rear end, brakes work is done, going to add a supercharger.

I'm sure not everybody is a fan of this look but I like the way the pipes turned out.
