Bought my truck a sport bumper in pretty good shape (couple small scratches and needs cleaned real good) and dakota door seals for $70 at the local pick-n-pull.

to the forum from North Texas.

I had the same problem. I used a good penetrant like liquid wrench and locked on a pair of vice-grips to the nut/clip part and undo the bolt. I also found out that I broke quite a few of the "J clips" during the process. You might consider purchasing some new ones for re-assembly.

Good luck!

got the new edelbrock intake and edelbroke carb installed and ditched the stock q-jet and factory manifold....wow what a difference in weight between the two and wow it looks awsome...will post pictures up when i finish and fire it up today...

chevy88 · 01-07-2012, 02:36 PM

Installed/aligned my door back onto truck after being completely rebuilt.

dmwphoto · 01-07-2012, 05:58 PM

I installed a new rear wiring harness. The PO did some funky stuff with the wiring and it was a mess. As soon as I get some back up light cups I should be in business. Also need a license plate lamp.

BigCountryx · 01-07-2012, 06:49 PM

Did some custom body to add tire clearance, lol. At least I can turn both right AND left now. I guess that's progress.

**Palf70Step** · 01-07-2012, 08:13 PM

Went backwards on the 70.

I needed a solid engine to replace my oil burner in the Hoopty and since I already stole the tranny out fo the 70 fir the 83, I decided rather than buy another new crate that I would steal this one to go into the 83. So today the 70 was stripped of its drive train.

Oh I forgot (at least by yourself) small blocks don't come out with long tube headers still hooked up.

Other than that the ole crate is in the stand waiting for the day to do the swap into the 83.

Also installed a new stereo head unit into my 2002. One of the filters was going bad in the tuner section, so I swapped in a fresh unit. The Pioneer can do all the cool tuff too; MP3 CDs & Flash Drive MP3s plus blue toothie & Ipodee (don't care) stuff.

1967monster · 01-07-2012, 08:24 PM

got fender off yeah went plan b cut them off worked out good. they where in a bad place i couldn't get to them with a wrench.

ItsRandy · 01-08-2012, 02:33 AM

More block sanding the bed. I will be shooting the last coat of primer on it tomorrow, then block sand 1 more time and shoot color next weekend. I can hardly wait!

Delo69 · 01-08-2012, 02:25 PM

Well my wheels and hubcaps took longer than a day but here is what I've done recently just waiting to save up some for new tires..I'm thinking 235/75/15 Goodyear Wranglers will look great.

What the wheels started out as:

After sandblasting:

After about 4 coats of rustoleum and a coat of clear:

Ebay hubcaps I bought started like this:

And ended up like this to match the truck:
