[zicc1835]

[ghackett1]

Today I adjusted both the accelerator pumps on my Holley 4150 double pumper. Much better throttle response, different truck.

Nice work there, like how clean that firewall is.

Wrapped up the bucket seat swap today. Really happy with how it turned out and excited to get back on the road now that the good weather has finally hit the area.

Turned out real nice.

[Steeveedee]

Yup! Very nice! I have to pull my seat back out and bend a piece of metal that is touching the side of the seat base on each side. I wish I had caught that before putting the seat back in. It will eventually wear through the new cover. Sure can't let that happen.

[Already Gone]

Got mine back today after a 10 month stay at a shop where all new front end parts and a slight lowering kit were installed along with the newly rebuilt small block 400 and the original radio with the AM/FM Bluetooth conversion. Hopefully can get awheel alignment done this coming week and the 70R4 set up properly then ready to cruise.

Usually not a fan of undercoating but it did protect the underside of the hood . This is the hood side of the bracket going to weld it up today figured I should paint it and the inside of the hood prior to welding

Took a couple of pics yesterday evening after a local Cars & Coffee

well,as is usually the case with me it seems?1 step ahead,3 steps back.when i put my truck back together and finished up a month or 2 ago,i broke a clip off the outer windowfelt seal on the outside of the drivers door.China junk i'm sure,anyway i found a seller on Ebay selling them one at a time.i ordered a new seal.they put a 27 inch long windowfelt in a 24 inch long box?genius.i complained and they said i couldn't return it,it was ordered over 30 days ago?i tryed to straighten it out and install it but it fits like crap,looks like crap so it's on there but only til i buy another set elsewhere and change them all.then my lovely wife says " why is there a dark spot in the middle of the dome lamp?" i said it's 50 years old,i'll buy a new one.more Chinese junk.the new lens doesn't fit the original bezel?it's about 3/16's too long?i guess you have to buy the Chinese bezel with the lens to fit but i wouldn't bet on it?then since i was visiting my sick friend in Ohio last week,i made a run to Summit,bought some stuff i needed and 1 stainless 2 1/4 exhaust tip planning to cut in 2 and install a piece on each side.i should know better but it looks nice left alone,not cut in 2 but i have 1??smart like a crowbar i am?anyway i'll have to get another one here and pay more freight than what the goofy tip is worth.i love it when a plan comes together?

Those covers for the interior light come up fairly often on the parts board NOS. Might take a look over there.

I had the same problem in my Burb, same aftermarket brand.

[Casper42]

removed these from the four corners: polished the lenses, polished the brightwork and repainted the black surround. Looks brand new!

[zicc1835]

chrome p coated the hinge

[67C10Step]

Decided to swap from stock tail lights to the smaller 55-59 lights. When I finally get around to rear bumper I am thinking about moving the tail lights down to the back up light location and then come up with a hidden back up light.

[72c20customcamper]

Played with my knob two coats black three clear then I used a paint pen and lightly sanded with 1000 paper going to give it a couple more clear

[Rust_never_sleeps]

Spent 10m trying to clamp the bottom of the rear brake hose, then gave up and went to look for diagrams, then spent 30m before it dawned on me I was trying to clamp it on the wrong side of the bracket.
Looks like I quit for the day at the right time cuz my brain was mush

[72c20customcamper]

Also fixed the spare tire side mount . I used 1/2 -20 grade 8 bolts tacked them in place and then cut the heads off . I then fully welded the backside and ran a bead around the front . Going to paint it tonight and try it on the truck tomorrow. Figured I’d use a couple of c clamps to hold while I test fit it

[zicc1835]

p coat this today

For the last several months my truck has been making an intermittent noise when idling that sounds like a turkey gobbling. I could only hear it from inside the cab. The exhaust and engine noises were too loud when I'd get out to investigate. I finally discovered that the noise would go away if I applied a little pressure to my shift lever. I applied a little grease to the three contact points between the linkage, transmission and frame mount, and the noise is gone. Now I need to track down the creaking noise that's coming from rear wall of the cab. I sprayed lubricant in a bunch of the seams, but that didn't do it. I think I'll need to take passenger seat out and have my wife drive me around while I crouch on the floor to locate the source of the noise.

What tranny do you have, Pat?

[ghackett1]

Installed a front sway bar on the 68, purchased an original used bar, restored it, and used CCP polyurethane bushings. Ground off two rivets all the other holes were already there, piece of cake install. Truck handles better.
