Re: What did you do to your truck today!
Tried to figure out how to get the paint to stick?? Then used my drill with a wire brush to take the paint off.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
re-installed the full leaf spring pack. Sits a lil higher now, but it's ready for some work! Getting ready to move from Calistoga to Santa Rosa and I have stuff sitting in Pope Valley (30 min East), stuff in Novato (30 min South), and stuff in Pismo Beach (4 hrs South). It will be nice having everything in one place :-)

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
Took the afternoon off of work because it was such a beautiful spring-like afternoon! Installed my new HEI in the 70 C10, installed new plug wires (think they gave me the short set instead of the long under-the-manifold style), gapped the plugs, and fired it up. Took about 15 minutes to get the timing just right. Ran good, but had a nasty tick in the passenger side rockers. So I pulled the valve cover and adjusted the noisy lifter. Unfortunately I noticed that the rear-most valve was hardly moving. Guessing that lobe is wiped out...
![]() I also replaced the 15' long van style tranny dipstick with a standard one. That cleaned up the engine bay a LOT! This is my first 2wd in this bodystyle and I had NO IDEA how much more room you have to work at the back of the engine in the 2wd vs 4wd trucks!

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
Nothing but looking for a piece of black carpet to make the side door covers. I have de idea of engrave the letters Chevrolet or the bow tie. But the carpet stores don't sell a yard. But I found a place the name is UFO (upholstery furniture outlet an they have two choices car and marine types.
We'll see. |

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
That's weird, Tomahawk30, I had 5 2wd v8 trucks and 2 4x4's with v8's and all the engines sat the same distance from firewall whether small or big block, maybe yours was a 6cyl originally as they sit further back if just being switched to a v8 and not moving mount back. Cool trucks though, oh ya..

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
I drove Belle to the Pull a Part. Last week I saw some black seat belts but didn't have a breaker bar to bust them loose..Today I was lookin fwd to getting them today but someone beat me to it..actually the pulled almost anything they could glove box door, orig am/fm radio, and wiring harness. But I did manage to pull a tool box out of what was left of the bed, needs alittle work and a white paint job so it matches my truck.
Talked with a couple guys out side and got a number for possible lead for a period correct tailgate for cheap. I also started sanding a spare tire holder that I got out of a 67 last summer.
