On your carb problems if it were me i'd check the float levels first then adjust the idle air screws to your motor. It sounds to me like your gettin enough air but not enough fuel. Is this a new Holley?

Sanded the front bumper, ready to prime. Left the truck in the garage to miss the hail and tornadoes.

**MisterC** · 04-03-2012, 10:24 PM

Riveted a patch in place of the breather hole in the dual snorkel air cleaner; sanded and primed the 1 1/4" sway bar, ordered some new door panel screws on Ebay and mocked up the side trim that I received from GMCNUT.

No truck action today because bought Momma some new couches and rearranged the living room so if she is happy my truck gets happier with more parts. Got one door installed so tomorrow start on the other.

Finished the last of the "mock up" stages. Pulled the body off-out to blasters for clean up,while I finish the chassis. Hopefully, the body will be back in a few days and I'll have the frame ready to be prepped and painted, so will just switch out.

66-PMD-GMC · 04-04-2012, 09:26 AM

Walked by it going to work.
She looks lonely just sitting there with her motor broke....

MalibuKasey · 04-04-2012, 10:17 AM

I ordered parts finally! A Monster rebuild kit for the 700R4, TV Cable bracket, lowered Sway bar mount brackets, CPP tranny crossmember, and right after lunch.... Capt. Fabs Powersteering adapter kit.

fasteddie1964 · 04-04-2012, 05:05 PM

Drove her to work today.

198plus · 04-04-2012, 05:13 PM

I installed my 373 gear and Eaton posi carrier today

suzq044 · 04-04-2012, 05:13 PM

Nothing to the truck itself. But we got the master-engine kit from Northern via brown-truck today

XtechX · 04-04-2012, 08:09 PM

What I did today....I drove my truck!!!!!!!!....The first time legally, I took it down for a front end alignment and probably put 30 miles on it or so without any real problems. Except for some awful speedometer cable noise, I unhooked it from the cluster and the noise stopped. What a good day...It was the moment I've been waiting for, for the past 1 1/2 years.

Breadstick · 04-04-2012, 08:30 PM

Put the bed in. None of the cross sills were in the right place, so I kind of had to make it work. I drilled new holes in the bed strips and the cross sills and put the hardware in upside down, but it worked and it's ready to haul stuff. It's not the prettiest but it'll do what I need it to.

Also, this is all in my "project Charlotte" build thread.

markeb01 · 04-04-2012, 08:40 PM

Good for you. It’s a great feeling finally achieving that milestone.

Man, I can not wait for the day I get to enjoy that moment.

_1966ChevyPU · 04-05-2012, 10:15 PM

I got more parts in today and was able to find the hardest part there probably is to track down for the truck just a couple hours from the house.
