Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II

So poor fit on the rollpan, well at least you got it on there.

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
So whats new about aftermarket metal parts. Most don't fit right. I am glad you payed attention in High School Metal Shop and did what was necessary to install the roll pan.

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
Found out the carb filter holder thingie I was given by a forum member won't work for me.
![]() It fits the threads in the carb but is too big for the fuel line fitting. Oh well. |

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
After 10 months of not touching it due to finishing my Masters degree and other home projects I finally got the 70 back in the shop for the long awaited roof swap. These are in-progress pictures. The pillars are not fully fitted yet

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
Driving her and smiling the whole time!
Tightened the screw on the rear view mirror, it doesn't flop around anymore! Hopefully tomorrow I will install some door mirrors that were given to me. This 80 year old guy I met at the trash dump saw it and come over and started talking to me about it. He said he has a lot of old parts laying around his shed from when he had old vehicles, he invited me to come over and look around. I (with my brother-in-law) got over there and there were projects all over the place. The mirrors were all I could find that would work on my truck & I really needed them! I'm surprised at how a lot of people just want to help with my truck! God is good! |

Ask the Counterman to let you look in the TOMCO catalog , it's in there . They'll have the catalog but most Countermen no longer know how to use it....

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
After driving to a Saturday morning cruise in I worked on the truck. Found my temp sensor and dangling wire and discovered temp guage actually works when hooked up. Also found my pretty spark plug wire connectors can't stand the heat.

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
I hooked my temp up and found that the gauge doesn't know what hot or cold means. Also, that sucks for the wire holders!

Cut the raised rear floor section out of a doner K5 Blazer for my 72 Blazer CST. The doner K5 is in the "Trucks for Sale" area here.
