What did you do to your truck today? - Page 18 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

sams60gmc · 12-20-2009, 10:49 PM

I sanded some of the rust off of my roof and then spread a little filler and got it sanded back down.

scotts62 · 12-20-2009, 11:58 PM

Put my trans on the work table, going to attempt my first rebuild

Woogeroo · 12-19-2009, 11:32 PM

I installed the new voltage regulator and ran a ground wire from the ground post on the new alternator.

The biggest aggravation were getting the nuts onto the 3 bolts that hold the v. reg. to the radiator support.

yeesh!

it is running and charging again tho', so yay!

I moved my truck out of the garage yesterday to work on my buddies Honda, then moved it back in today. I took a pic because I thought it looked cool. I had to have him sit in the engine bay and put gas in the carb out of a bottle because my fuel pump went out.

TwoFiftyShifter · 12-20-2009, 12:07 AM

Cut the exhaust off of my truck right off the manifold, de-rusted and painted the headers, got that little 6 running a bit better. More to come tomorrow.

low79fx · 12-20-2009, 11:48 AM

Blasted and painted cateye capsules to install new lenses for my 65 GMC,fixed the horn button on steering wheel,cut out exhaust to pipe up to headers.And tested all lights,turn signals and brake lights.Almost ready for inspection.YEAH!

*LILRED66* · 12-20-2009, 12:32 PM

We made a little more progress on OLRED66.

*LILRED66* · 12-20-2009, 12:34 PM

And a few more of our progress...

Turkey · 12-20-2009, 02:52 PM

sanded and primered the tailgate...sorted and put away all of the tools that have acquired in the bed

SCOTI · 12-20-2009, 09:27 PM

Made templates & started fabbing my new rear upper shock mounts. I needed 17" overall length @ ride height & was shooting for 60° angle. I think my number crunching worked . . ....

shortbed70 · 12-20-2009, 10:04 PM

Got both front fenders sanded and maybe some paint this week.

jgh64pkup · 12-22-2009, 01:58 AM

i did nothing again

*LILRED66* · 12-22-2009, 10:04 AM

We did some rearranging...to make room for more trucks inside the fence, we had a 40' container delivered and set, to put sheetmetal items out of the weather.

70 Suburban · 12-22-2009, 10:15 AM

Thats a-maze-ing

70 Suburban · 12-22-2009, 11:07 AM

I know i need onw.. the ear on my 750 dbl pump just broke off. The carb is great but the base is screwd.

**nbrfd007** · 12-22-2009, 11:39 AM

Put a master/clutch cylinder on it. Getting ready for swapping the carb to a 500 holley on my 305 V6.

NF65Fleetside · 12-22-2009, 08:48 PM

I freak'n broke my turn signal switch! guh now one more thing I gotta pickup from the shop when I go get some other items. =(

ruffrida2005 · 12-23-2009, 04:52 AM

Well i looked at my frame again, it's not doing any tricks like I thought. I got my rebuild kit in for my Demon, it cost me free dollars.

The 750 is for sell $250, never had gas in it. only set on the intake!

63deluxfleet · 12-23-2009, 09:36 PM

Filled her up...hopefully not for the last time, but probably if insurance don't pay for my hit and run total....
Took a long drive and tried to enjoy her a lil...

Gage it's not easy for older guys to stand on there heads an do wiring under the dash. I'm ok if I take my time and I've taken my blood pressure pills.I'm speaking of myself only.

ravens65 · 12-24-2009, 09:11 AM

thats no average 15yr old to do his own wiring!! most of them are to busy w/ video games to learn this stuff!! its not as hard as I thought, just seems overwelming @ first

jgh64pkup · 12-24-2009, 01:07 AM

sams60gmc · 12-24-2009, 02:57 AM

Today I started the day off working on my poly bushing sleves. I made them out of solid stock because I couldn't find any tube and I'm that cheap!! Then I built a new cross member because I wasn't happy with the way my old one was fitting and we screwed up some how and it ended up being way too high. I forgot to compensate for the 4'' tubing that it would be notched into. Anyways I built a new one out of 2x3 tubing and welded that up and removed the temporary support for up front. I also made some bag mounts. Next week I'll make my lower bag mounts and start setting up my links. Anyways pics!
