Re: What did you do to your truck today!
I've been collecting parts, but finally taking action.
Mounted steelies today.   Installing as much as I can off this table in the morning.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
Finished my motor mounts for my LT1 swap into a 63 c10. Raised the motor 5/8" to help clear the AC instead of spending money on brackets. Worked great with all the room under the hood.
Now to fit the headers and fuel lines. Waiting for my stand alone harness and ECM I got a killer deal on with VATS and smog deletes already done. I want to build a thread, but new to this site and have no idea where to start. |

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
Got back after dark yesterday (so didn't post) from picking up an 94 five lug 3:42 posi (we'll see...) for my '71. Spent most of the day rearranging my shop to have a little more room to work.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
Got my only leaking fitting on the new Boyde under bed tank to stop leaking last night when got home from work. Put tank in on my Thursday off, wired and plumbed it. Started right up. The electric pump in the tank for the LS 5.3 is a lot quieter than the under the driver seat on the frame pump. Waiting on a Blazer sender wire with firewall grommet from Wes to finish up the job. Should be here soon. Pics later.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
I went to auto fair yesterday and bought new aluminum radiator, headlight bezels, door lock and key switch kit(one key), and the blazer tank conversion. Special thanks goes out to Jason at Daves Truck Parts for being so helpful. He was able to answer all of my questions and questions my brother had for his '65. I can't wait to get the truck back from the shop that is putting on my new heads. So ready to burn the back tires off of this thing!!!!

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
Why yes I did Shawno72 , I don't have any other would trim on my truck and did not want the wood look (but liked the stlye of the wheel) that it had so I bought some black stain and re-did it.
