Since I haven't been on for a while...

Saturday changed the oil and greased front end. Two plugged zerks on control arms and broke one on a ball joint that ended up having a couple cuts in the boot too.

Today, hauled 1086 lbs steel and 224 lbs copper to scrap yard.

npoe2982 · 03-26-2012, 10:57 PM

drove the old thing to work threw some stuff in the back and drove it home. i goosed it a couple of times, and got annoyed at the squealing caliper. best of all i dug a trench for a french drain in my yard and returned time and again to deposit and with draw empty and full cans of beer. good day.

mud.man.rj · 03-26-2012, 11:04 PM

Got frustrated trying to change my drivers door, the truck just had new cab corners and rockers installed before I bought it and installed a bit high are the rockers, so cutting them off tomorrow night then refitting it myself, some people just don't pay enough attention to detail do they. Oh well, just take a bit longer to get doors on.

Stevo427 · 03-27-2012, 01:51 AM

Swapped the whole front grill. Repainted and polished my front badge. Put my grill trim in

also painted my eyelids black.

LakeAnna · 03-27-2012, 05:04 AM

Wet sanding...

JointTech · 03-27-2012, 07:11 AM

pulled the diff cover off. found out I have a 14 bolt out of some later year. Need to check ratio tomorrow.
Also discovered my carrier bearing is completely shot abd the drive shaft looks to far out on the spline. Good thing is the carrier is probably my weird wobble when just taking off.
Also discovered I have a TH400 not TH350 so I had to update my sig.

wrwelton · 03-27-2012, 08:00 AM

Glove box went in. Putting in rubber boots around floor shifters next.

KyFarm · 03-27-2012, 08:15 AM

Got the seat back from the upholstery shop and in it went. Should have been a straight swap but the seat I got from what was supposed to be a '72 was the same dimensions for the cover but had totally different rails and bolting pattern. And of course the new holes I had to drill hit just about half a hole in the support member. A little grinding and a little dremel tool and in it went.

Also put 3 point seat belts in

MrSchaeferPants · 03-27-2012, 10:49 AM

Last night, but I went to bed right after so no posty

Tailgate hinges and brackets finished in Sail Blue
Tailgate stripped, and barely a coat of primer on it

wrwelton · 03-28-2012, 08:31 AM

I decided to put the seats in my truck to see what they will look like. They came out of a 2006 suburban. I found them at a junk yard last week. Iam most happy

mud.man.rj · 03-28-2012, 06:19 PM

Really like those seats a lot, do they fit good for lenghth and also with the t.case shifter. Jealous, would be nice in my 71 4x4. Someday I may score as good as you did.

mmmBoost · 03-28-2012, 08:07 PM

Bought some temp seats for the truck for $50 from a friend Honda Prelude. They'll work till I can find the seats I really want

Scott Webster · 03-29-2012, 01:01 AM

Threw a 10ft aluminum brake in the back to deliver to my cousin. Gonna suck the gas down like a whiskey sour on a hot day, but it will give me the same smile driving it.

JointTech · 03-29-2012, 01:07 AM

Changed the tranny filter.
Put the Diff cover back on and filled it up.
Pulled out the driveshafts to replace the ujoints and carrier bearing.
shes almost roadworthy.

norske · 03-29-2012, 05:46 AM

I have not bolted them down yet, but I did sit in it and it seems like it is going to work just fine. I paid $100.00 for them. I am not sure Iam going to keep the center console. i am thinking of building one that will give me some storage space and a couple of speakers.

Rob H. · 03-29-2012, 05:31 PM

This is actually a what I did in the last 4 days post LOL! Monday evening I pulled the driveshaft and the 3 speed tranny to replace the clutch. Replaced it Tuesday night with the 12 inch clutch and heavy duty pressure plate that came with my 70 burb parts truck. Then I decided I'd put the 4 speed out of the burb in my truck. So Wednesday night I did this!

Today after my bus route I pulled this from the burb frame, sure wish I'd got the 402 that used to sit in front of it!

Then I slid it under the truck after checking it out, I rigged this up to lift it up into place, yea looks a little redneck, but it worked great and sure alot less lifting for me!

shawno72 · 03-29-2012, 06:06 PM

That is totally genius.

JointTech · 03-29-2012, 06:13 PM

dropped my driveshaft at the shop to have the end cut off and a new one put on, balance and put in new ujoints.
