Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
You could keep a not so friendly dog there if you go every day. Uh... but then you'd be stuck with the not so friendly dog for a long time

Just my luck, it would poop on the carpet right when the realtor showed up!

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Yeah, not such a great idea. Probably snakes would be better. I've never even seen snake poop

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Well today I got some time to work on my Engine Run Stand that I started about a month ago, about another day of work and I'll be to the point of installing the control panel and related gauges, wiring, etc.
I have wanted one of these for years but never wanted to pay the price to buy one, have found a few used/homemade ones on Craigslist, but still did not want to pay the price, so I'm building one. Thanks to myself and all my hoarding Hotrod/Car/Truck Buddy's I'm in it a whooping $25 so far as I had to buy the weld-on D-rings. So far I've made the jigs for BBC/SBC, SBF, a universal adjustable bell housing mount and a Jeep transmission mounting jig. The plan is to be able to test just about any motor or motor/trans configuration, just have to initially fab the mounting jig, if it has not already been done. Yep...that's a 302 SBF saddled up that's earmarked for my Jeep. Once I get it fired and tested, the stand comes apart for powder coating. |

I feel very tired just looking at all those shift levers.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Nice job. I guess your buddies know where to go if they want to run an engine now
Yeah yeah 302. That's cool. What I want to know is what's that 3 nostril beast behind it?

The 3 Nostrils belong to an early (36-37) Ford Flathead V8 that had been hot rodded years ago, it has been hanging on that engine stand for 25 plus years. Seems to fit the bill as a conversation piece more than making any noise. |

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
yrs ago when we had Air Care (vehicle emissions testing) i went with my buddy to get his '46 flatfender tested.
it had a buick v6 in it with a 4 spd (lever #1) a overdrive unit (lever #2) and a twin stick t-case (levers #3 and #4) the Air Care guy climbs in to dyno test it, looks at all the levers for a few minutes, then looks at me and says do you know how to operate this? of course i do, but like anybody not being a fan of emission testing i told him i have no idea. so he climbs out and another Air Care employee climbs in. he too spends about 5 minutes looking at all the levers, and he too asked me if i know how to work it....nope, nada, no idea. so the 2 employees start talking and one of them grabs a book and after a few minutes they come back and announce the jeep has passed, we're like what? you haven't dyno'ed it or stuck the probe up the pipe. apparentley there was a note in their "book" that said they don't dyno anything with less than an 80" wheelbase....buddy still had to pay the testing fee, but got a free pass....he was not sure if the jeep would have passed, so we took the free win |

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Excuse me for being pedantic, but you better put that lower trim on that door before you go much farther. Especially since it's hers. The front stud is impossible to get to otherwise.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
I spent a lot of time today looking for my neighbors dog. He dug under the fence. Hard to believe because he's an old dog. Never did find him. Hopefully someone took him in. An old Chihuahua isn't going to fare well at night with the coyotes around here.
They put up the lost dog flyers and put him on Facebook. Hopefully somebody found him. And I went to buy a really big rolling toolbox full of tools for cheap. But I was too late. It was already sold. So I accomplished nothing today.

Re: What did you do today not on your truck...
Made the last of 4 trips to Ma. (330 miles round trip) to get my daughter's stuff. Hope to get a closing date this week so we can move it all again. Would be nice to get her in before Christmas. My garage and '84 are packed solid with her furniture & belongings. She has been home for 2 weeks and I now remember why she moved out.Lol. My wife and I are exhausted. Time for a break.
