What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II

[toolboxchev]

Halfway done under the dash, new wiper motor, Man that was a PITA. I was not made to bend that way. New bolts for the heater fan switch assembly and put in a Never Pop control upgrade for it.

Will post a pic soon! Its nice to have wipers again

You just gotta have at least the truck in the photo! That's a requirement.

Thanks for the tip. I'll try that next time.

I let mine stretch its legs by driving it to work. I'm just waiting for the weekend to continue tearing down the bed I bought last weekend.

Minor improvement.
I got tired of looking at my grungy looking alternator, so I pulled it out, and cleaned it up.
Gave it a light coat of bright silver, along with repainting the pulley and fan blak.
Didn't take long or cost much, and looks 100% better than before.
Sorry, no pic. It was dark when I finished

Welcome to the board!

I've been enjoying the short rides to the dump, think I'm going to have to replace the starter, had to roll start her the last 3 times I've drove it! traveled about 70 miles (one way) a few weeks ago to pick-up tires for my Sonic and pick up some tile for the laundry room that a co-worker gave me - the suspension that is 47 years old needs some work! My co-worker told me and my wife that he loved the truck, my wife replied "it's a money pit!" He said "but all the money you put in it will come back if you ever sold it". I don't think she realizes that I only have about $1k in it right now (spread out over almost 2 years). Nothing I have done has been real expensive so far. I don't know where she gets "money pit" from?

I have no idea why this keeps double posting, I wish you had the ability to delete a post.

I went to a swap meet & picked up a couple of items.



The emblems just because I haven't seen them with my own 2 eyes. The dash panel because I might decide to put a modern radio in it & want to have a factory uncut dash if I went back to factory. I like choices.

Got the tach working!

Not a darn thing! I've run out of excuses for not getting started painting the family room and the wife laid down the law today. Woe is me.

Well, this WEEKEND I got the a/c mounted, mounted two computers, installed the padded dash, mounted the new fuse box, and pulled the wiring harness for the LS3 thru the firewall... It's just laying on top of the engine for now. Oh, and I also installed the radiator core support. A little touch up on the paint, and then the radiator goes in and I can hang the inner fenders and do my plumbing!!

Nice truck!

Where did you get the frame.....No Limit?

[Nh4clo4]

Cleaned up and painted the emblems for my 68 today

[toolboxchev]

Gave her a good ole dish soap wash in the rain, let mother nature do the rest. Setting up a welding table and a Millermatic 211.

Did some playing around with that welder, its one slick machine!

[Already Gone]

Took my console apart and took it to a place to get it media blasted.

[74baggedbug]

Excuse the dirty interior but can't get over how bright my dome light is.. fellow board member made it for me ( same guy who makes the full led tailights) can't remember his screen name

[firedemon]

well for the last two days been going through motor plastic gauged all the bearings , wire wheel , wire wheel , paint stripper , wire wheel , wire wheel , oh and did I mention wire wheel . it almost looks like new cast in most places . the stripper really helps take the caked on baked on grease along with the old paint . it came from a 1 ton cube van with 76 thousand on it super clean inside super filthy outside . four bolt main haven't run the head numbers yet guessing nothing great but I did drive it before I yanked the engine seemed to be pretty snappy in that huge tank so should be good in my c10 . oh and I ran a tap down every hole I could find with a thread in it I use old bolts in the holes to seal em from the paint but takem out before the paint dries so I don't pull paint chunks when it dries

Pulled the dash pad last night. It's been sitting under towels, and until today hasn't been cleaned in I don't know, 20 years maybe. Real happy with it. The vinyl in these trucks are well made. Out of the elements and they're built to last. Now it's off to bed. I'll see this again in 18 months-ish





Don't imagine there's a clean fix?

[Already Gone]

As I previously posted I took my console for media blasting yesterday and got it back today. I am not comfy leaving near impossible to find parts out of my control for any longer than I have too.

X3............Thing I sweat most is my hardware. Luckily I found a zinc plating operation in Reno/Sparks. I might prefer phosphate, but I'm not prepared to leave this stuff longer than a day or two, and no shipping either.

15x 8 Blazer rims blasted and painted. Getting there....
