Re: What did you do to your truck today!

The old truck hasn't been moved for about three months, and hasn't been ran for about one month. I try to get over there and drive it around at least twice a month to keep everything going, skipped a few times so it needed attention. I let it sit too long and the carburetor got trashed, a rebuild and new fuel filters got it running like a top. It felt great to get it going again and take it for a drive, I'm going to take it to the gas station tomorrow and add some Sta-Bil and fresh gas to the tank also. The brakes still work great considering it's been off the road for four years already since I got my welding truck. It's going to get an oil change next week, and the steering column bearings need some attention as well as the turn signal cam. The Suburban is still parked, don't have money to throw at it yet. I know the engine is worn out, I have a used 350 to drop in but don't have time right now. My '84 hasn't needed much, just been going through a lot of gas haha.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!

Drove it to work Friday. Going back after lunch I noticed a vibration at 30-40 mph. Turned around, took it home and parked it. Came home from church tonight riding with my wife driving her Traverse. When we pulled in the garage I saw the problem. Missing lug nut on the left rear. Jacked her up and tightened the other four. I worked on the brakes about 3 weeks ago and must have left the lug nuts only snugged.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!

Just drove it today and stopped at a cruise-in for a few mins. But yesterday I used it to tow home my new to me boat a 1978 Cobra with a 80 hp Mercury!

Re: What did you do to your truck today!

I'm proud of my progress and have to brag via photo one more time now that I have another round on it since yesterday.

Beginning, middle and end! Well nearly, one more scuff coat and final sand to come tomorrow.
