Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
Finally got my 71 back on all 4's. After it being on stands all summer for a dana 44 refreshing and a front spring up grade. As you can see still lots of work too do.
Next up is putting in all the new steering components with a ps up grade ![]() Gotta get it roll able so i can push it into the garage for a lil' welding On the firewall at the bottom of the heater box mount. Then the 400ci. can get dropped in. This winter i'll do the rockers and other sheetmetal work.i hate being all dressed for cutting and welding in the heat of summer. VERY SLOW WORK as its not a priority.

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
Installed a correct square bore to spread bore plate in search of my low vacuum issue. It didn't improve the vacuum.

That's pretty good . If I'm using a new cam I follow this almost exactly, if re using an old cam I use 3,000 RPM's ~ either way if you set everything up correctly , the entire engine breakin is done in 60 seconds .

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
Picked up my original driver's side front outer fender from the painter. The guy did an excellent job welding up three rust holes. He used pieces from a 1968 Buick Skylark, so even the patches are General Motors and "period correct."

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
I cleaned up and painted my lower steering shaft, and added a tilt steering column. I need to know which U-Joint to order to complete the job.... Anyone know?

My buddy Greg from fullers machine did my emblems and my boy Michael "sic" Cato did the roof and panels on my truck we wanted something a lil different on the truck..

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
I painted that reinforcing bar that attaches the driver's side inner fender to the front of the truck's frame.
The best paint I had for the job was Rustoleum Engine Enamel but I primed it first and it seems to be curing well. |

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
found that you can lock all four drums in a panic when a chick in a Honda talkin on her cell runs a stop sign . get it home safe and drive into the ditch in the end of my drive way . too dark to see the damage so much for those 14 hour days this week

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
Hey guys,
I want a steering column that is between 2 to 3 inches shorter (I want to move the steering wheel closer to the dash). Anyone know if there is a vehicle that has a column that would do what I'm wanting? I'm not really concerned about tilt, but it's not a deal breaker. I think I saw something about some of the Camaro's columns doing this, but I can't find it. |
