what did you get done 12/6/09 - Page 2 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I spent most of the week getting my truck ready to come to the house. I did a lot of little stuff (replaced tailpipes, scraped the old tint off, etc.). I drove it to the house (about 30 miles) and it did great. Picked up a new tool box and rearranged the garage, now the bed of the truck is full of trash.

Next time you do one of those heater cores, only take the pass side loose and remove the radio. I did one friday and removed it through the radio hole. Took about 45 minutes. Sneaky sneaky.

I drove my truck! I have been daily driving it again for the last 3 weeks or so. I quit using it as a DD about 2 years ago. The poor thing has been too neglected for too long. My '37 Chevy Coupe project has really taken up what little time I have.

My wife has convinced me twice not to sell it. She says I don't look right driving anything else! She's a keeper.

She just recently found out that she likes driving it after I have owned it 8 1/2 years.

Ha! Thanks. If he's driving the 78 I will be.

Jonboy · 12-08-2009, 08:04 PM

Congrats. They do finally sleep all night, if it's any consolation.

do you have any pics of how you routed the ducting? i have that same heater and had to "improvise" a little when trying to hook up the defrost and other vents

flamingbig10 · 12-09-2009, 09:07 AM

no I don't, but I routed the ducting from the left vent to the driver side defroster opening, but right now the ducting is visible from under the dash, but I working on plenum so the floor vents will be facing out and hiding the ducting

Cold as crap ened up snowing later in the day been snowing ever since.
