Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
Removed a few parts for heater & evap. box removal. Takes me twice as long to take notes. Turns out I'm writing a book. I'm say 12% percent into dismantling this, and just my assembly manual is 10 pages long, and not as winded as I am.........Wait.......... The original intention was just a good reference for the novice (me) for reassembly in 1-3 years, but in my line of work it just comes natural. Time consuming..........*&(*&^.
Also cut these off the frame. The brackets were for a fifth wheel, and the flat piece of steel was for a receiver hitch also welded to a rear step bumper. That hitch maybe original or dealer add on? There was also a boat launching hitch welded onto from bumper (yippee!), saddle tanks, camper mirrors. Suffice to say the original owner liked the RV life. Lucky for me he picked the wrong truck for it (SWB). Near as lucky was locating a "new" bed decades later. That was a score. ![]()

Installed a heater to my truck. It's nice no longer having to bundle up just to go drive around. =]

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
I bought my 72 k20 from Colorado earlier this month without a grill headlights or bumper. Got a grill and headlights on today. Can't wait to buy a bumper and get it on

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
Removed Q-jet due to condensation or fuel?? Puddling on top of intake at base of carb,found all airhorn attaching screws at least 1/2 turn out, and intake runners completely soaked,also loosened fuel line clips along frame rail to move them away from headers. After reinstallation ,puddling still exists. How do I begin a new thread? I have a question about my water pump, can anyone determine from this view if the water pump pictured is a standard or reverse rotation pump?

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
Replaced the wiper switch and floor dimmer switch on the 67 GMC this weekend. Wipers work again but sprayer still doesn't even after a new pump. More investigation needed. Also installed a new passenger vent window glass. Tried to adjust the brake light switch but couldn't get to it without installing an extra joint in my arm.

Thanks. That pic came out better than I thought it would. And the truck came out as dirty as I thought it would! Haha

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
Got the valves properly adjusted, and buttoned everything back up. Went to go for a test drive, and found an issue with the trans. Have an idea what it is, should have it corrected soon.
To review, I have now converted the fuel pump, and cooling fan to electric, the Summit cam is broken in, and the Vortec heads are working well. The long tube headers breathe nicely through the Magnaflows I have, and everything seems to be balanced just fine. Here's a quick video. https://youtu.be/NFneAGKXtJU
