This is my long bed e brakes

Is that possible a long bed cable on a short bed
Where the single cable joins the double is there any more adjustment?

Metaldoc · 03-28-2018, 05:48 PM

It's all painted again for the second time.

Part code seemed to be sb. But I will make sure again everything is in place. But think it may be a LB cable.

Fired the engine for the first time after the rebuild yesterday and today finished everything up by putting the new valve covers and air cleaner on. Now on to pass. fender cup repair and re installing the fenders. Cruisin' season's coming up and I'm way behind.

I ordered some LED headlights on Monday & they arrived today. I was able to get one of them installed. Rusty screws held the other 3 up. Lol.

Ceramic coated my exhaust manifolds and pulled all the lettering stickers off. Looking like it should for shiny side down truck.

69BUCKET · 03-31-2018, 01:57 AM

Radiator, shroud, fan, power steering lines, trans. Lines, torque converter bolts...

**RodnRudy** · 03-31-2018, 08:25 PM

Decided to tackle the rusty fender up today. I tried a different way to make the repop cup fit by lining up the wheel opening side then using a spot weld cutter I removed the piece on the rear of the cup and made relief cuts to "stretch" the front of the cup. More pics to follow

**RodnRudy** · 03-31-2018, 08:30 PM

I had to make one relief cut on the front of the cup to move it over and add a small piece of filler to the gap. Every thing lined up and time to start tack welding.

Drove ole reliable to get parts for my 99 that ate a fuel pump.

OregonNed · 04-01-2018, 05:46 PM

Painting brake drums and giving the wheels and tires a good cleaning.

**RodnRudy** · 04-01-2018, 07:01 PM

Sanded the primer on the fender cup and shot some Dupli Color on it. Doesn't match but it's down low and doesn't look too bad. After all she's a beater driver! Oh, and I got the left fender hung too.

I spent yesterday driving mine to get & return parts for my '02. That's the most driving I've done in it since the day I bought it.

beaterku · 04-04-2018, 09:20 AM

Finsihed up bolting together the rear frame and started setting up the brakes.

Did you add some fade to the paint? I used to tell customers that I'm not able to match the old paint because they don't make "fade" to age it.

I am working on that concoction. It takes years of research, driving in the rain, long days in the sun. Opp, better check the oil!

**3757chevy** · 04-04-2018, 10:34 PM

I didn't do it, but I paid to have it done. I had a new windshield installed while I worked.

My daughter had her '11 impala done at the same time.

**RodnRudy** · 04-05-2018, 01:14 PM

Just got back from a test drive after replacing front coils and shorter rear blocks. Ride quality is better but I don't like the look as much. I'm waiting on new hood hinges so I can throw the hood back on and call it done.

Need a before and after pic of ride height

Metaldoc · 04-05-2018, 04:14 PM

plumbed in new PCV line, fuel, and vacuum advance. Looks nice and not just hoses. I found that spark plug ends fit perfect on the PCV to 3/8 tubing. I've done a bit of small tubing work.
