Re: What did you do to your truck today!
I picked up a ripe 69 longbed 1/2 ton a while back that doesnt run very well. So I started tearing the engine out to replace the cam I suspect to be going flat. I'm also goin to toss a 700r4 in it so i can hopefully start daily driving it.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
well today i just drove it around,and went to the coffee shop for a cup and meet with the other old farts around town, but for the last two days i cleaned up the exhaust manifold that i took off the lake pump 292 and took the intake and exhaust manifold off ole dollor and cleaned and scraped off a mess of old gasket and rust, my old manifold was worse that i thought. got her back together late last night and boy does it run and sound better, had to do some work on the new (used) exhaust manifold to make the heat riser work properly.
i even have some pic's of the process.the screws were used because i can't use a welder but i think it will work o k... |

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
Today and the last couple of days I have been disassembling all of the used a/c parts that I bought from teeitup. Pulled the heating and a/c coils , blew out all the dust and debris , cleaning up the ac/heater boxes and repainting them. Also polishing all the aluminum and copper parts. sand blasted all of the rusted parts for repaint.Have many pics but cameras in the garage will post sat .

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
First, my Happy New Year present to those that are into my kind of music:
http://www.rollingstone.com/music/vi...pelin-20121227 Today, it was a little ride down town, ordering an anti-snow item. And I think I've decided to move my 1" spacers to the front and pick up some 1.5 inchers for the rear (only, mine will be five lug) with my Christmas E-Slay stocking stuffer gift cards!!!!

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
Tired of long tube headers heat soaking the starter in traffic, installed a high torque corvette style starter and heat shield. Replaced a lot of wires too. Big difference.

I'm not trying to sell it. I really can't see myself without this truck. (spent years& thousands of hours restoring it) and love it. I told him no. cheers, Pat |
