Re: What did you do to your truck today!
I replaced my leaky Rochester with a freshly rebuilt Edelbrock 1406 on my 350. Also changed the worn out throttle linkage rod, fuel filter, and freshened up the hoses.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
The sun's out today in the Sierra Foothills.
So, I: 1) Went out to look at the truck; 2) Opened the tailgate; 3) Inspected and then broke up the old windshield; 4) Pulled out the back of an old bench seat and stashed it; 5) Closed the tailgate. Other than moving the cover, the truck-travelling tool box, the new fan dedicated to the A/C, and a cheap tarp, I'm ready to start on the bed...That bed hasn't been empty for three years. I learned that it's harder to break up a windshield than the side windows. Cost me almost an hour picking up glass shards off of the driveway. Even after I'd wrapped the SOB in towels, etc. before the hammer went to work. Oh, BTW, the windshield under the windshield-cover's the new one. The ol', pitted one's in the garbage can!!! When the weather turns for sure, the bed's gonna get power-washed, the wheel wells removed, and stripped of bed liner material. With the the remainder of the bed, they will get prepped and painted the same color as the interior and engine bay sheet metal. Then I'll put wood down on the bed floor. Seems sort-a silly on the rat mobile, but I have all the stuff so I might as well do it.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
Ordered the 5th 6th gear cluster for the T-56 transmission and installed the new KYB rear shocks. Still waitng on the re-drilled axles to get back. I hope by the time they are back I will have the new studs and rear hubs so I can finish up the rear end.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
Started to install my power steering setup I bought several months ago. Changing the motor mounts at the same time. Of course the mounts were bad and then wouldn't line up correctly. I see now why people woller out the holes in the enging braces. I finally got the driver side done. Didn't have enough time to get the passenger side mount or the rest of the power steering setup done but I did get the pump mounted. Hopefully we will have another warm dry day around here soon.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
Got my Accuair stuff bolted up into the EXO mount. Ive decided im going to mount it on the drivers side frame rail behind the cab. The EXO mount is pretty cool and keeps everything neat and organized. I dont have a fancy welder or much of any fab experience so my air ride install needs to be as "bolt on" as possible and this makes that happen.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
ole dollor now has a auto trans , instead of granny 4 speed, had to get a 153 tooth flex plate instead of the 168 tooth i had, starter is said to be a big block starter, put in a lokar auto floor shift its a 16" shifter. sure glad i did not get the 23" one...got all the odds and ends finished and took it out for a drive, when i stop trying to stomp a hole in the floor board trying to find the clutch it will be better, i drove about 45 miles and no leaks or noises. i think i am going to love it better than i did...and a few pic's.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
did not take any pic's of the install, just the th 350 painted , and the pic. of the 168 tooth flexplate that i put in and was to big. it started life as a granny four speed and i changed it over to a auto, it still has the 292 six cyl. its hard to get parts for the 292 and a lot of trial and error. but its back on the road after about 3 weeks of ordering parts and waiting on them to come in, the only pic i took of the install was after it was in and through the floor, need to take some sense i got the floor shift in and the a/c moved back to the middle of the dash.and all back together, also put in a new am fm radio. the old one was no good from the day i put it in. i do like the auto better that the old four speed, old knees need an auto....
