Truck in my sig ... Been laid up from surgery for the past few weeks. Drove it around today for the 1st time in a while. Sure was nice! That was after I checked all the fluid levels, including the anti-freeze. Good to -20 degrees.

landsurvey1 · 01-08-2012, 07:18 PM

I don't drive it in the winter

ryanroo · 01-08-2012, 10:14 PM

got the frame boxing plates for the front portion cut

Horsman · 01-08-2012, 11:02 PM

Cleaned and polished the original paint on the firewall and reinstalled the freshly built 402 and transmission back in the C20.

Installed some newly painted plugs in the shoulder belt holes and bought a new seat. Picked up a 2nd row seat out of a 99 suburban for 75 bucks. 60/40 split and both seats flip up so you can store stuff under there. Saw the info from another member on the board who used one. Funny thing is I have a 99 suburban in the driveway so I went out and measured and made sure it was going to be comfortable and fit right.

Just color matched the sholder seat belt plugs I bought off a board member... Gotta let them dry completely then I'll pop them in

Sprayed the last coat of primer. I will finish block sanding it during the week and shoot color on it next weekend. I'm so excited!!

I fabricated a bracket and installed this oil separator for my PCV line. I'm surprised at just how much oil is collected in 100 miles of driving.

BB72CHEVKT · 01-09-2012, 06:34 PM

Installed my rear drop springs.

Redleg · 01-09-2012, 06:42 PM

Replaced the coolant hose!

For those interested it was Gates part# 20686!

Oh and refilled with antifreeze!!!!

Those work good. I put one on an Aspire I had and it collected alot of oil to begin with, it seemed to slow down after awhile.

What is the purpose of the separator? Does it help the motor?

It traps the oil vapor that comes thru the pcv system and keeps it out of the intake manifold, cleaner intake plenum and less oil burning in the combustion process.
