What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II

[webfoot]

Got my new old lookin' tach installed.

[396C-10]

I cleaned up and painted my lower steering shaft, and added a tilt steering column. I need to know which U-Joint to order to complete the job.... Anyone know?

[firedemon]

found that you can lock all four drums in a panic when a chick in a Honda talkin on her cell runs a stop sign . get it home safe and drive into the ditch in the end of my drive way . too dark to see the damage so much for those 14 hour days this week

Cool hopefully a Chevy van from that era would work I'm thinking they would be more common than a camper

Yhea van and motor home colums are quite popular swaps.

My Red 67 is getting a update. I am getting ready to start my 6.0L on the test stand. This will replace my 350 vortec roller motor, I am so done with carburetors. Also swapping out my built 200R4 for a T56 too. Out with the old in with the newer.

[scooterpimp]

Did rear axle bearings & seals in my 71 c10 12 bolt today , now i need to find torque specs on spider gear cross pin bolt. Im guessing 8-9 foot lbs. Due to being 1/4" grade 8. But ?

After I installed the disc brake upgrade a few weeks ago, I pulled a rear drum to check the brakes. We're going to go camping soon, and I needed to see what I had. Shoes are about 70% there, but the rear wheel cylinder is seeping. I think I was the last one in there to do brakes when my FIL still owned it. That would have been around y2k. No surprise that they are leaking, after 16 years. I'll get new wheel cylinders on Monday. Also scraped about half a pound of greasy dirt of the inside face of the wheel. Must have had a leaky rear seal at some point. Ran all new trailer wiring (ast week), since I put in a Prodigy electronic trailer brake with an accelerometer instead of a hydraulic line running into the cab.

Brought it home last night and buttoned up a few things, drove it to work this morning at 4am.. Brake lights stopped working but the fuse popped so I have a short somewhere

In the process of replacing the shaft seal on my TH350 I had to remove the linkage that goes from the frame to the trans. I discovered a lot of wear in the metal U piece and the shaft that is on the frame bracket. Filled the notches with weld and put it back together. The sloppy shift at the column is all nice and tight now.

Wish I had taken pictures of the process, but I had no idea this would help so much.

[In The Ten Ring]

Opened my package of 4-row radiator brackets from a forum member. I also spoke with the media blaster, he has my (original) fender cleaned up and epoxy primed. I should be able to get it on Friday(?).

Did some block sanding and created some more rattle can fauxtina. Left dents in gate since it is too beat up. Will eventually need a new one.
