Re: What did you do to your truck today?

thanks fellas... but it was not my idea.. i just tweaked Solver's design to work with free crap I got from work. Yeah, using a 4x4 is a little scary...my 55 cab seemed much lighter so it was not as bad but the 65 was a little squirrely on wood.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?

Worked on my frame today for about an hour. Didn't get much done. Tomorrow I'll spend a few hours on it and get all my bracketry all done. I set up a tool to run in the mill to notch my 1/4" plate to fit my axle tubes really well. I'm really happy with the way things are turning out so far.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?

I didn't do anything to the truck, but I did buy a new rebuild kit for my Demon carb! Anyone want a 750 Holley, never had gas in it!

Re: What did you do to your truck today?

Worked on my front cross member for my back half today. Its a little over built but its for my wishbone link. I messed up and cut my tube wrong so now the seam faces the wrong way wich is one of my pet peaves, so I'll try and sand that down and make it look as un noticable as possible.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?

wired new fancy plug to the alternator...

removed, tested and replaced with a new... engine module.

ran a test to confirm if alternator was charging... it was.

Pulled voltage regulator and bought a new one.

I hope to replace that, tomorrow. I also hope my headlights come back on...

Re: What did you do to your truck today?

I installed my fuel sending unit and made brackets to mount the tank to the frame. Only one old strap holding the tank. I'm sure glad it never broke.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?

Took the panel out and gave her a top off of petro. I averaged 11.7 mpg on the only tank I have checked.
That includes her sitting at idle in the garage multi times and draining the line to replace the sending unit. It's good to see the gauge working.
