Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
Not a darn thing done on the truck today, busy in Matera, Italy working on another classic piece of iron..... it is a 72 however.... good patina as well! Lower roller shafts are worn so it's got a drop kit I guess you would say...

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
Changed the tranny fluid, rear gear fluid, repacked the front bearing, checked all the brakes then a good cleaning for both Holdie and Samson. Been a great day.

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
I'm a stepside man but I got to tell you that white fleet just looks absolutely classy. Solid white and all trimmed out is hard to top.

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
Changed exhaust manifold "donuts" in my 69 k/10 and took a test run to the beach--good place to clear my mind what ever is left of it! Lots of water out there-3,700 miles or so to Europe.

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
Replaced radiator. Had to drill the spot welds on the saddles and emove them thus only using the actual bracket and rubber to hold the new rad in. It was too big. Guess ill order some 4 core saddles. Also installed new heater core. That was fun. The rubber stuff that seals it up held it there REALLY well. Thought I might break the case trying to pry it off the firewall. That was yesterday. Today will be filling with coolant and checking for leaks and hoping I finally have heat and a sealed cooling system!

I let mine stretch its legs by driving it to work. I'm just waiting for the weekend to continue tearing down the bed I bought last weekend.

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
Minor improvement.
I got tired of looking at my grungy looking alternator, so I pulled it out, and cleaned it up. Gave it a light coat of bright silver, along with repainting the pulley and fan blak. Didn't take long or cost much, and looks 100% better than before. ![]() Sorry, no pic. It was dark when I finished |
