Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
Recovering from sinus surgery atm but been converting to serpentine belt not squealing at 3500 rpm is nice. Chasing out a issue with pulley alignment and coolant hose, I may have got the alignment dialed, the upper rad hose I think is going to be solved with a 67 firebird 400 upper hose. We shall see

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
.
Restored my brake pedal today. It's a Lokar unit with 20k miles on it and was in poor shape. All the pads but one had fallen out fairly recently and the finish was looking dull. The last pad jumped to freedom as I was punching the attach bolts through and out of the pedal arm. Sadly, I did not get a before picture as this whole thing started out as fixing a rattle from the brake pedal. The Lokar piece was fitted pretty good to the arm "flange" for your foot and had 4 attachment points that were merely friction based. All the brake work I've been doing lately broke something there or dislodged something but the screws fully tight wouldn't stop the rattling. Anyway, I had to get it on the bench to figure it out... again no pictures Got the rattle fixed and was ready to epoxy the pads back on there and decided to polish the thing first! Here's the finished product...over 100 bucks to buy a new one but this cost me an hour, some chemicals and some work... -Kevin

Installed some Holly retrobright LED headlights, so much more light output.

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
Got the exhaust yesterday . This shipment was delayed 3 days I’m guessing they needed to find pieces . All the pipes were there but most of the installation hardware was missing except this one clamp . Summit is sending out a replacement package of hardware.

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
Daughter, son in law, and I drove it to a cruise in swap meet about an hour north. Didn’t see anything I needed but saw some nice rides.

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
Are those pipes stainless? You're done except for an occasional touch-up. Looks good!

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
The whole exhaust from headers to the tailpipes are stainless . Hope to never have to replace them in my lifetime.

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
Oil change on the '70 and the Montero today. Nice weather. While I was taking a break, I got to thinking about how many jobs my Mac tools have done since the mid '70's. That KD filter strap has been in my box since the late '70's also. They sure have paid for themselves.

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
Heh, my wife says I'm buying "toys" when I get tools. I made a living for years with the mechanic tools I have...most of which I bought before getting married. Everything I have cost (including the wood carving and wood working tools) about the same as her latest sewing machine. She only has six, now- she gave one to a friend. My 3/8" ratchets have the knurling worn off the handle like that. Makes for iron-rich calluses!

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
I gave my son in law a snap on ratchet that I’ve had for over 40 years because it broke the mechanism to get fixed . he said the snap on guy had never seen one before and couldn’t get the parts . He did however replace the ratchet at my discretion. Hated to do it but at this point it was just a piece of metal with no use .

New TMI dash pad installed, black with red stitching.
Raining out so the picks are from a dark garage.

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
Detailing the truck for the Inaugural Fredericksburg Classic Truck Show at Pecan Grove Store. This will be a very nice Saturday morning drive from Kyle to Fredericksburg Texas.
Its been a bit since I did a full on detail of the truck. Since she is a garage queen I generally just dust her off with a water bath and wipe down. Heck a few times I did the wash during light rain LOL! Anyone else in the area going?
