Re: What did you do to your truck today!
Replaced my battery, as well as the cables and terminals. Put in a new air filter and top.

I pulled mine out of the garage so a guy could take pictures of it. He is building our mantel in the living room for us and want to show his dad my truck.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
went to the pick-a-part yard... they only had one 71 LWB that was beat up and stripped... I did go by the S10s and pull some 175 amp main fuse blocks to eliminate the old fusbale link... I stole this idea from Whitels1 who did an LS swap on his square body K5 blazer ...

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
My son installed the Holley carb (1850) on the 454 in my '67 swb stepper and hooked up the linkage and fuel line. While I filled the radiator with anti-freeze.
We pushed the truck out of the garage and started the engine for the first time after putting it in the truck using a temporary gas tank. The mini starter I got from DB electric worked great without any shimming. The truck fired up after the fuel pump built up pressure. We ran the truck for a while until the thermostat opened and topped off the radiator.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
I finally got both of my brake lights working with the lights on, replaced the one rocker arm that kept popping off the push rod, and over the weekend ended up getting the power steering put in and it drives like a charm now, finished painting it, and put side mirrors on that I picked up from o'reillys.
Edit: ill have to upload the pictures tomorrow, they're too big to upload from my phone.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
Just to prove to myself that I'll never be *done*, I decided to put in the new
M & H under dash wiring harness. So, in the course of doing that (and still trying to figure out why ALL of my gas gages don'e seem to want to play fair with the new sending unit), I broke the bezel. So, I bought a new one from a Seller on the Forum and filled it up again. Gotta go out and crawl around under the dash tomorrow, I guess. But I feel lazy.

Re: Re : Auotmeter Tachometer
Yeah. O'Reiley's up here in the North....But you better call 'em first. They have a display
of the tachs. But, up here, the local store seems to have to order everything. It's a 3 3/8" face. I think a model 5795, 6809, or 6811...but not sure. I just checked....There are 240 tachs on E-Slay just in case a Forum Seller doesn't one for ya.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
I sanded the dents and around them on my '67 cab and C10srule put bondo on dents that could not be popped out.
The repairs looks great. Next weekend we will finish sanding the cab and front clip. It is nice to have the truck running again so we don't have to push it in and out of the garage.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
![]() Finished painting it and put the side mirrors on, the headlights are out because we have to replace them. ![]() We had to notch out a small piece of the fender well to have the lines clear for the power steering gearbox. ![]() We got the power steering pump mounted in with a few of our custom brackets that we had to make, but it definitely works extremely well. We might have to get another radiator hose because it looks like it's slightly touching the belt. And, I put a chrome oil breather on, a new air filter, and fuel filter. ![]() This is the ground wire that kept giving me my brake light problems and all I had to do was clean it and replace the screw and every light works now.

Sunday I was doing my Physical Therapy in Pick-A-Part and stumbled across a cherry 1978 Jaguar XJ6 , I scored the tach for $13 and will see if I can adapt it to suit ~ I don't want a flashy guge , I want a stock looking one .

That radiator hose is too short . not to mention the crappo accordion typ .
Those P.S. hoses are wrong too , the corect ones are bent differently and clear the inner fenderwell easily . All these parts are available cheaply @ Rock Auto.com -Nate Quote:
