Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
I would say its not right... At WOT the cable should be all the way tight... Im sure there are some youtube vids on how to Correctly adjust it. If its not right it WILL kill a trans way too early

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
I spent 5 hours to get 1.5 sets of inner fender bolts down to metal, and I never did get to my nuts. Tired and my back hurts. Mom called at 2am, because one of her Shepards was dying. By the time I got there (five minutes away) he was a breath a minute, and I only witnessed three. Bruno was quite large, about 120 lbs. Very graceful.
It was unusual to see how the other dogs reacted. The emotional one was looking for consoling (she's part white lab, white labs are VERY sensitive). The other boy, who is near 2 years old was off as well, though confused. When I brought him inside it didn't quite register, though he's a very smart dog. I've noticed that in some animals. They recognize you in life, not necessarily in death.

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
said good bye too this one today.
it was cool to see this one go down the road and have the "other guys" view of it rippin down the street. the new owner was more than happy to drive it 45 mi. home.....its gonna make one bad azz ls'd shop truck hopefully we get to see this one in the future. before and after pic...not much done to it but we cleaned it up and got it running driving good. its a beast of a 2wd truck even with the 305 in it. i woulda loved to build this into a k but i really dont need yet another truck in peieces here. onward i go sanding on the stepper and getting the axle and motor back in the k

Drove it about 20 miles to a local Cars and Coffee gathering. It showed well and we had a great time.

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
got new dome light and filler neck grommet in today from brotherstrucks.com! I'm getting closer to getting it on the road, plan on (again) cutting the old bed off of the truck and putting the new one on!

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
I put the seat and door panels back in the truck. I kept the original vinyl on the seat and sewed in new plaid from SMS. While it was apart we added a little new foam to the sagging ends. It sits like a new seat. Also re dyed the door panels.

Had new door panels made for it along with the vent window delete which is a very rare opition on these trucks! It's almost as rare as the corvette engine mod. I bought a clear shower curtain and put it on the door behind the new panel to keep the moisture out. I hope it works.

Installing the electric cruise control! Got most of it done but have to pull the PCM out for the last wire. VSS signal wire is all that is left and the turn signal lever.

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
Beautiful piece of white oak you have there, and a nice stain choice to. I'd like to make a varnish suggestion. I restore mahogany boats for a living. Petit Captains varnish is a traditional phenolic varnish that provides a nice Amber hue and UV protection. About 10-12 coats would have wood looking fantastic. We have experimented with automotive clear on wood and has worked pretty well so far (it's only been on the boat for a year) but it's clear and doesn't give that deep rich luster. I'd love to see your floor when it's done.

So far spent most of the morning tracking down a rattle in the drive train. No luck so I'll keep looking as I watch the race!
