drove my '70 for about 4 hours straight to pick up a 250cc scooter for my ungrateful sister and added a quart of oil to it to keep her happy running down the highway at 65mph

69vetteside · 07-16-2012, 03:01 AM

Ordered some chassis and suspension parts from CPP and NO LIMIT ENGINEERING.
NOW the wait

Pulled an all nighter finishing up some loose ends....I ran out of steam half way through the doors. Here's a rough shot......

RexDodge · 07-16-2012, 10:46 AM

Adjusted the valves, installed the valve covers, installed the oil pressure safety switch...nearly time to start this bad boy up! Just need to replace a couple of splices I am not comfortable with and vroom, vroom!

brianthelion02 · 07-16-2012, 01:42 PM

Fixed the high speed fan relay for my a/c! Installed sound deadener and carpet,almost ready to head out for texas saturday!!

BurnoutNova · 07-16-2012, 03:36 PM

All I managed to do was look at my truck. Some parts showed up from Classic Industries but all I did was look at em

magwakeenercew2jh · 07-16-2012, 07:24 PM

Here are a few different angle shots of testing and freeze plug failure.... and what it could look like for you if you don't change them when the motor is out....I won't put up a "before" picture. The motor was in there snug as a bug in a rug. At least until until the pi$$%ng contest started at the first start-up and freeze plug puke.

That's Butch doing most of the good work.

**nlped** · 07-16-2012, 07:51 PM

I ordered me a Painless 18 fuse wiring harness from Streetside Auto, and perchs, a "deluxe" track bar & brackets from CPP (the latter is to adapt my 12 Bolt from my '76 Blazer that is nicely modified) for my '70 GMC today. I'm excited to finally start getting this show on the road

oklalawnboy · 07-16-2012, 09:46 PM

I checked on the progress of rust removel/repair on the inner roof panel. I have to say it is looking good. Maybe next time I'll remember to take my camera.......

OSM 70 C20 · 07-16-2012, 10:37 PM

Tried to figure out what to do with this

UNEASYRIDER · 07-17-2012, 12:28 AM

OJ1988 · 07-17-2012, 09:06 AM

When you do, let ME know!

Think I'd just torch off the hinge so you can get at the bolts behind the fender, then replace the hinges and door with different ones. Least you can get it off to see if the door is salvagable that way

You have one clean ride!

in deep 72 · 07-17-2012, 10:30 AM

It's exhaust tubing for now, just wanted to try it out, will go with DOM if I like it. Turning out to be a major undertaking though.

shopking72 · 07-18-2012, 07:33 PM

Changed out my crappy stock fan for a nicer one. Cleaned my K&N air filter and recharged it. Clean the truck up and drove it to a car show.

Over 100* and the truck was not liking it lol.

sjarrett71 · 07-18-2012, 09:00 PM

Shopking, that is a sweet looking truck! Love the color, love the stance!

Installed the transmisstion, transfer case, drive shafts, radiator, electric fans, clear side marker lights, and pulled the broken front axle shaft.....very productive evening! Tomorrow, new axle shaft, rehang the exhaust paint the bumpers and rims black. Looks like I'll make the mud run this weekend!

rogergodding · 07-19-2012, 09:10 AM

Took the carb off my truck and put it on my sons and scored some Sanderson headers for $225!!
