Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
Cleaned top end parts so they are ready to go when I get my valve job back. Soaked the new polished finned aluminum front differential cover I just got in muriatic acid solution so it was a closer match to the old same type rear cover, slots, and overall condition of my '72.

I spot painted the maroon on the cab, trying to retain most of the old paint job.

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
Replaced the drivers headlight, tossed out the faded dash mat and 86'd the crappy seat cover in my new to me '72.

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
I pulled the truck into the garage and started doing the 3spd on the floor to original 4spd on the floor conversion. I cut out the floor to install the high hump. I rust primered floor pans, they had some surface rust on them. I removed the old 3 speed trans. Tomorrow will be another day.

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
Just got home with a tailgate I found locally. Have it just sitting in there. Internal parts need to be installed but hey ..... I'll be able to haul stuff without the fear of said stuff rolling out of the bed.

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
Finally completed the refurbish and installed my grille. The little lady isn't looking too bad.

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
Thanks. It's coming around. Not a show truck, just a fun everyday driver.

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
Gave her a good bath today after starting her up for the first time in 12 years. She smoked a bit when I first started her up but quickly cleared up. I didn't even have to clean the points off and shes perfect. May try and put some wax on her tomorrow.

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
Tried to see if some jb weld will seal a small leak. Fingers crossed.

JB Weld or any other Epoxy , isn't much good for cooling system leaks , I'm keen to hear how it works here .

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
Seems to be a hair line crack and only leaks after I turn it off. I've seen mixed reviews online. All I will have lost is about 30 minutes of my time. Cheaper than $200. I'll update you, probably won't get it out till the weekend.

How many pounds pressure cap are you running ? .
Always remember : the boiling point of plain water goes up 3° for each pound of pressure so few vehicles ever need more than a 3# cap . Many can run fine with a marginal cooling system and no pressure at all but the coolant will evaporate as you drive . Slowly but it's a thing to think about ~ I've driven across America with klunkers that couldn't take any cooling system pressure at all without leaking .

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
Test drive around the block and back. All seems good with all the rest of the parts on.
