Re: What did you do to your truck today part IV

repaired the worst hack job in the floor from the PO. I think they blindly measured for the stick shift, then blindfolded a 4 yr old and gave him a chain saw...

Re: What did you do to your truck today part IV

Well, the supercharger seized up on me during start up the other day... So it was off to a buddy's house who knows a thing or two more about blowers than I do. Found out blowers like to eat fuel, not metal... So after some minor "clearancing" of the case and rotors to remove the damage, I slapped it all back together and made the Maid Voyage after leaving some tire marks about 100 feet long. Two grown men, giggling like school girls as tire smoke billowed behind us.

It was a beautiful day for a cruise down to the local watering hole. She is a little more peppy now with this new 383, blower and tranny that isn't slipping in 2nd and 4th. This week is my car clubs big car show, so it was kind of important to get this thing wrapped up.

Re: What did you do to your truck today part IV

I yanked out my kick penal speakers that I was vary happy with. The reason I had to do so was because I blocked off my vents the air pressure inside the cab when I shut my doors caused the bondo and paint in my roof to crack. Real bummer but I don’t want my paint cracking

Re: What did you do to your truck today part IV

I modified my finned air filter cover so that I can us a center stud instead of the complicated way it was originally attached. I might end up stripping the paint and having it polished to go better with my new aluminum heads on my new 355.

Re: What did you do to your truck today part IV

Set new glass in the wing and door window assemblies. Got the Nu Relics power unit installed and tested the switch that uses the original window crank handle.

Re: What did you do to your truck today part IV

removed the passenger side inner rocker, outer rocker and cab corner. What a beating that was.

Welded in the new inner rocker in. The cab corner patch panel looks to be less than an ideal match, but I guess we'll.

Re: What did you do to your truck today part IV

Installed driveshaft, new alternate bracket and put the hood back on by myself...I don't fully recommend it as a solo job.

Oh yeah, then i drove it for the first time with the engine swap complete!

Re: What did you do to your truck today part IV

I called in sick today- bad cold. It's raining here all day. Wife's new car usually occupies the garage, but felt the need to get Ol'Blue out of the rain.
