I actually got out there and spent a few hours cleaning the front end up to paint. Starting to get in the mood to work on it again.

Tony,
Any idea what the clock is out of?

I didn't do anything to the truck, but I did buy a new rebuild kit for my Demon carb! Anyone want a 750 Holley, never had gas in it!

sams60gmc · 12-18-2009, 02:09 AM

Worked on my front cross member for my back half today. Its a little over built but its for my wishbone link. I messed up and cut my tube wrong so now the seam faces the wrong way wich is one of my pet peaves, so I'll try and sand that down and make it look as un noticable as possible.

Woogeroo · 12-18-2009, 06:21 AM

wired new fancy plug to the alternator...

removed, tested and replaced with a new... engine module.

ran a test to confirm if alternator was charging... it was.

Pulled voltage regulator and bought a new one.

I hope to replace that, tomorrow. I also hope my headlights come back on...

I installed LED taillights and a new flasher in my 66 GMC today. Nice and bright.

*LILRED66* · 12-19-2009, 08:58 PM

I checked out the shop, while my Dad was talking trucks with the fellas!

Byronic · 12-19-2009, 09:34 PM

I installed my fuel sending unit and made brackets to mount the tank to the frame. Only one old strap holding the tank. I'm sure glad it never broke.

198plus · 12-19-2009, 10:43 PM

Give him the keys Tony, Looks like he's ready for a spin around the block

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!

sams60gmc · 12-20-2009, 12:00 AM

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.

looks like the shops in good hands

Byronic · 12-20-2009, 10:46 PM

Took the panel out and gave her a top off of petro. I averaged 11.7 mpg on the only tank I have checked.
That includes her sitting at idle in the garage multi times and draining the line to replace the sending unit. It's good to see the gauge working.

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

sams60gmc · 12-22-2009, 01:56 AM

not much today just worked on some 3/4-16 Weld in bungs for my 4 link.

jgh64pkup · 12-22-2009, 01:58 AM
