Re: What did you do to your truck today?
I went to bleed my brakes today and ended up with another blown brake line. Right rear portion just before the rubber brake hose. Pretty sure the rubber hose has collapsed so I ordered a new one from Ecklers.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
Well had a great work day on the chassis...it's been sitting a while so I didn't want to take any chances....drained the oil poured it back in the top half on each side.....pulled the distributor out and drove the oil pump until it came back up into the pushrods and heads...pulled the plugs ( which was a pain because i had to take the headers off to get at 3 of the plugs,apparently there is going to be a modification of the bolt flange before those go back on )..light spray of WD40 into the cylinders.Polished both value covers and breathers,polished some of the other bits and parts. Rolled it over by hand a bit while the plugs were out and it's all good and ready to go . I hope at some point on the weekend to fire it up and hear it run....

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
Today replaced the driverside bed panel. I picked up a shortbed about a month ago for $100. Well traded it for a 292 that I paid 100 for. Now need to decide on one piece of high quality plywood or a bed kit. Also got a gilmer drive kit. Need to find a different alt bracket for it to work.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
I worked on my truck... sort of. I started to make a replica of my 63 longbed out of Hot Wheels.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
Thanks! I'm assuming you meant "burb" not "burp"? It's a '64 GMC panel with Hersheys logos painted on the sides. I think it was a holiday special.
