Re: What did you do to your truck today?
today i got the new radiator that came with the truck out of the box and in the truck and noticed it had the built in tranny cooler in the bottom that i didnt think it had so thats a plus(the radiator probably cost the $400 i paid for the truck) ....messed around under the dash looking at the wiring which seems to be all intact from factory and not spliced together which surprised me...found and installed a brand new fuel pump that was under the seat that i needed for the motor i pulled out of the wrecked 65 since the one it had got snapped of in the crash(another plus)....then i rolled around on the creeper looking at the underside of the truck checking everything out for about a half a hour....then went inside made a few calls to some friends looking for some usable tires.....posted a add on craigslist looking for a th350 and a guy is going to sell me one tomorrow for $75 bucks. Not alot done but felt like a productive day

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
Thanks for the kind words. And of course I meant to say "giving the truck a bath", which it got yesterday.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
Not today, but last week (before heading out of town for Hot August Nights, then being sick for the passed few days).
Started some sanding.... Got a little detail painting done on the grill shroud.... And finally got that big, ugly, utility bumper off......  Lots more to come..... .............

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
Got the plugs out of the engine that has been sitting in the field for SEVERAL years, needless to say that was a ***** also, got rid off all the bird, rat, and dirt dauber nests, then I cleaned up the carb, tomorrow is draining and cleaning the tank and changing the oil, a few steps closer to seeing if the ole gal will fire up and live again.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
Well thanks to Markeb01 I felt comfortable putting up some coin today for a
'73 rolling chassiss as a donor for my '61 apache axle swap...Also scored a sweet uhpolstered bench seat and 20 gallon fuel cell from the same guy selling me the roller.... Started pulling tranny plate off floor of '61 to get at the tranny mounts because I sold my straight six and dropping in a HP 283 Thanks for all the great info shared on the site...gives me confidence to do my own build!!

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
Well, it finally happened... I got tired of leaning forward to reach the toggle switch under the dash that locks up the torque convertor for OD. So, I installed a floor-mounted headlight dimmer switch and wired the OD to it. Now, I can just kick the button, the old girl locks up in OD, and down the road we go!! Funny how a simple task can feel so mundane after a couple of months. Next task is wiring the heater to a knob on the dash instead of a lever switch on the floor. It is gonna be a real pain to reach when I eventually do need it.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
Took the gas tank out and cleaned it, changed the broken sending unit. Fuel gauge works. Placed side mirrors, replaced dome light. Drove it to my brothers shop in Kerman.

fuel Pump went bad.....it was new, went and got another, will return the other to Rock Auto.......Took it around to a few friends homes and showed the gmc off.......had a lot of fun, and the sun went behind the clouds so it was only 95 degrees instead of 105....makes a lot of difference. |

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
Keith,
What kind of fuel pump did you go with? I bought an electrical one and I am debating to going mechanical instead on my sbc 283...... Roberto aka el_bole |

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
Also started putting some aux gAuges(want a stock dash with stock temp ,oil gauges really bad) but of course I dropped the fitting for the oil pressure gauge. Anyone got a spare one? It's the ferrel fitting that sandwiches the oil line.
