discovered my rear main has leaked all over my clutch

[66-PMD-GMC]

I nearly finished stripping the wrong brackets and such off my 71 frame that is going under my 66. I have the correct rear body mount supports to change out along with the front core support mounts and radiator support/cross member. Also finished my frame jig to hold the frame while I work on it. Tomorrow I should be able to get the last parts off the frame, wire the new parts that are going on the frame and haul the whole thing to the sand blaster. I will be picking up a new data cable for my camera phone to post photos of the project. The paint, new bushings, grade 8 shoulder bolts etc. are sitting in my roll away waiting for the fun to begin.

yeah, I'm running real low I'm down to 6 cigars in the box, time to restock.

All I did was drive the truck, all week since it has cooled off considerably this last week or so, 85-90 afternoons and 57-63 mornings, weird that when I take the truck to work in this weather, it takes me twice as long to get there...hmmmm

[niterider65]

:just a few more dics are on . now i have to run a spacer on the frony to keep
the wheel from rubbing the caliper great sounds like new wheels.. finished the steering link just need to get the power steering box and brackets and stuff..

I will be sanding my ceiling while I have the cab rolled over on its back.

Yeah, I had the cab on its back earlier and, despite being VERY careful, managed to slightly damage the sheetmetal on those tricky edge ridges; also kept feeling like I might put a foot through the back window stumbling around in there!
That being said, I recently realized I STILL have to rotate it back in order to paint with the gravity-fed HVLP sprayer. I think I'll try suspending the cab next time.

I replaced my stock steering wheel with a Chevy Lumina wheel that I got at the junkyard for $20. It's much more comfortable for me and doesn't look too out of place. I can't really see the speedo that well because it's a smaller diameter and thicker grip but that's no big deal. Right?

[niterider65]

just cleaning under the dash fount a couple places to fix tomarrow and finish sanding the fire wall and dash for primer pics 2 and the found holes in the kick panel wire welding will fix that and por 15 for the rust and some black silicon to fill in the seam .. Am i doing it right or just being to picky

[niterider65]
