Re: '72 Cheyenne K10
I finally finished wiring the KC flood light and rear cargo light switches. I made the bracket from an old bent grill support (and smashed two fingers in the process).

Re: '72 Cheyenne K10
That sounds like fun. Especially with the heat we've been having. How's the smoke in your neck of the woods?

Re: '72 Cheyenne K10
Smoke is not bad in the valley, noticeable up in the foothills. I hope they can stop the fire soon.

Re: '72 Cheyenne K10
After my kayak trip last weekend I noticed a pretty big puddle of transmission fluid under my radiator, but I couldn't find the leak until today. Every time I looked it was clean and dry around the fittings. Today I ran the engine and shifted between all the gears in the driveway and it was clearly leaking from the upper transmission line.
I tightened it as much as I could, cleaned it up, and topped off the transmission fluid. I'll check again next time I go for a highway drive to see if the leak is fixed. Fingers crossed! |

Re: '72 Cheyenne K10
I had a similar leak but on the transmission end. FYI, it only leaks while driving. So, it will leave a very small puddle when you park it, but will be a continuous drip while driving.
Hopefully it was just loose. In my case it had been previously overtightened and the line was ruined. I bought a new line and replaced it and all is good now. |

Re: '72 Cheyenne K10
I took my truck on its first real four-wheelin adventure to the High Lakes today. It died on me a few times on steep technical section, but it did fine with the transfer case in low. A boulder in the middle of the trail customized my passenger side rocker a little bit. Fun day. I'll be going back for more.

Re: '72 Cheyenne K10
Where's the High Lakes? I can see a burn scar in the pic's. Dang boulders, they like sneaking up and biting...

Re: '72 Cheyenne K10
It looks like you had nice weather. We were in the fog most of the day. Your truck doing what it was built for.

Re: '72 Cheyenne K10
I just picked up this AstroVan Hydroboost for $50. Just have to figure out how to get it installed into my truck. Looks like Captainfab from this site makes an adapter bracket.

Re: '72 Cheyenne K10
That will be nice. I hear good things about hydro boost.. Keep us updated on the progress, I'm curious how it comes together.

Re: '72 Cheyenne K10
Took my truck on a ~450 mile round trip to San Jose this weekend. No problems, but 63mph in the slow lane the whole trip was a first for me. Santa got me a used canoe and patio set.
