went to paint the rear drums and noticed gear oil running off of the pass side rim???? ended up pulling the axles and replacing both the axle seals today. waiting on the diff cover gasket to come in to button it up and add some new gear oil. did get the rear drums painted as well! lol

jhaymon · 07-28-2012, 08:05 PM

well today i didnt do anything to my truck. i did however almost get bitten by a water moccasin and had to go get a little 5' gator out of my buddies oil pit in exchange for a new to me tailgate for the 70.

Replaced the rear brake hose and one front brake hose- then had the wife help me bleed em out. First time I have ever done anything like that with brakes- took the new project for a spin afterwards- clutch a little stiff now- guess I need to bleed it out too- but man I had fun wrenchin on it. Now gotta get a new carb- the ole factory 2jet needs rebuilding so I think I am gonna find a four barrel intake and order a new edelbrock 600 cfm for it. Just havin fun tinkering with it til I collect enough parts to start the tear down and restoration of Ole Blue!

**70CHEVYBB** · 07-29-2012, 08:31 AM

I am installing a 96 350 in my 72 winter truck. edelbrock intake and 600 holley. I do have to add an electric fuel pump and install the bucket seats but I am getting there.

Thank you! They are actually new rally rims from Wheel Vintiques with '67 Corvette centercaps with "Disc Brake" on them. All four rims are 15X7 with 5 on 5 bolt pattern, the rear tires are 275/60-15 and the fronts are 215/65-15.

Working on coats 3 & 4 of primer on the drop spindles for the 67... It has taken about a week with the remodeling of my house going on simultaneously! LOL everytime I have to run out to the workshop for a tool I spray them a coat! LOL but at least I am accomplishing something... First coat of paint should be tonight!

jmdemon55 · 07-29-2012, 07:39 PM

went to pick up the diff cover gasket today,wrong one of course? decided i would go ahead and install the new grant steering wheel. what a pain in the rear! this was not the first one i have ever installed and today i was reminded how crappy the installation is on these wheels,especially the horn button and contact. i finally got it but geesh. it looks alright but i think this will be the last one i buy.

ryanroo · 07-29-2012, 09:55 PM

i fell asleep under mine this afternoon. wearing my welding shirt and using a 4x4 as a pillow. doesn't sound comfortable but i konked right out. i guess all night softball tournaments are harder on me than in the younger days
