Re: What did you do with your truck today, Part 3
I spent time earlier this week working on the tune for the crossfire manifold. I'm currently running a 16197427 from a 94-95 truck and I haven't had much time during the last couple of years to make changes to the calibration.
Last night I dragged out the old Hydrovac I've had in storage for a few years. I hope to begin rebuilding that soon. I've got several pictures from the assembly manual to help fabricate brackets and plan the install. And I've started collecting bits to install 3/4 ton steering arms. Made a quick measurement of the mounting holes and it appears the 3/4 ton arms will bolt right up. Last night I ordered the ball studs for the factory tie rod ends. This should be fun. |

Re: What did you do with your truck today, Part 3
I did with my truck yesterday, been editing and posting since I returned. Explored some abandoned stretches of Route 66, this is Two Guns Shell service station. The wind was 50 MPH gusts.

Re: What did you do with your truck today, Part 3
I went to a car show today and it fired me up to come home and do something on the truck. I didn't work "on" the truck but I made saw horses to get the hood done. This hood has kicked my ever loving butt! I have said it before, I have chopped many tops, sectioned bodies, made suicide doors (before they had hinges you could buy) and just about every other custom thing you can think of, fender flares, shave door handles, what ever. This hood makes chopping a top look like making a PB&J sandwich! It's been swirling through my head for the past year how in the hell am I going to weld this hood together? Then it hit me recently saw horses! Seems simple and a lot of you will go "duh" but it just hit me, funny how the brain works. So I made them yesterday and will be getting at this baby! DAMN I want to drive this truck again! It's been 25+ years!

Re: What did you do with your truck today, Part 3
Got some welds ground off, got some clearance issues on the hinges taken care of. Not much, but I got out there!

Re: What did you do with your truck today, Part 3
Went to the Function 4 Junction show on Saturday. There were 700 cars in the show and about 1000 for the cruise. As usual my phone had a low battery so no photos but here's a video I found of the cruise.

Re: What did you do with your truck today, Part 3
Dove in deep waters tonight and split the hood up. Yep my wife has lost her parking space in the garage. Having the top off is making way more sense with working with the hinges and creating clearance for them. I was climbing up under the body into the eng compartment to do this. Now I can do it way easier.
And yes I put my five minutes in yesterday too! Brian
