Installed a Detroit Locker unit. Everything went together almost as planned. It locks/unlocks the way it should, but I didn't mark the preload adjusters properly before I took them out! Next step is determining if I want to try that myself or take it to a shop.

My Dad came over and together we cleaned more gunk off my engine and disassembled enough stuff to realize the timing chain needs to be replaced. It's always fun working with my Dad, even if I'm 42 years old now.

Still in teardown mode on a 67 SB I picked up a few weeks ago. I got the custom plywood floor ripped out of the bed to find some nice swiss cheese. It's amazing someone could let a bed get ruined like this.

ole dollor · 12-03-2012, 10:02 PM

chevytruckguy70: thats looks great, ya did a great job...i like it.

Delo69 · 12-03-2012, 10:03 PM

Drove her around and got some pics.

ole dollor · 12-03-2012, 10:06 PM

junksaver: man thats a real bad bed...looks like you will have your work cut out for you, i guess you could rip out the floor and make it a wood floor, if the side walls were good enough to weld to....thats the worst i have seen....good luck.

zellway · 12-04-2012, 01:14 PM

Used it as a truck. Almost didn't fit. Thought I would have to go get my long bed but we got it. Should be a nice upgrade to my little shop.

shawno72 · 12-04-2012, 01:18 PM

Nice!!

magwakeenercew2jh · 12-04-2012, 03:39 PM

The sun came out this morning.

So, I uncovered her, started her up, re-glued the headliner and checked for (water) leaks.

It rained like a mutha over the last couple of weeks. Looks pretty dry.

Found a badly placed throttle return spring. Fixed it.

Square_78 · 12-05-2012, 06:53 AM

CPP 5lug disc conversion and drop spindles should be here next week... Ordered four RE-7 bags and front mounting plates today! I'm collecting everything I need over the winter and I'm installing it all in the springtime. I can't wait to get my truck on the road again!

I did the same thing. Be careful to remember where you put everything while collecting parts. I bought a few things twice because I couldn't remember where I put the stuff while I was collecting parts. It was nothing big or expensive, however, hours were spent saying; "I know I already bought that (insert name of part here)". Then digging through all of my stuff looking for parts only to run across the parts after I had installed the re-purchased parts. Now I have a few "spare" parts.

Back on Sunday I replaced the peep mirrors with some aftermarket heads on 72 brackets. I have much better visibility but I miss the clean lines of nothing on the doors.
