Re: What did you do to your truck today!
Painted my engine, put on the new motor mounts and some new heat shields for the plug wires. Waiting for the stainless exhaust manifold bolts to come in, and still have to clean and paint an older set of stock valve covers

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
Last Friday I started the alternator upgrade on the 71 and finished tonite. I know it shouldn't have took so lone butI couldn't find my tester and bought a new one yesterday and just got checking everything tonite. My son and his new wife is about to drive me nuts. Not including my wife. Hair pulling time.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
A couple of days ago we set up a quick electrolysis tub to remove the rust on bumper brackets and other parts.
![]() Here is a comparison of before and after ![]() This set-up worked pretty well, but had to see how we could make it better, so tonight we built a bigger setup. Went from a 3 gallon tub to a 35 gallon tank. ![]() ![]() Best part is that there is no cost. The barrel was a freebie from work, and the 1" bar for anodes my buddy snatched from his job. The rest is just spare parts lying around.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
Well first I put my new holley carb on, then I dropped my oil pan to replace my rear main, when all of a sudden when I took the pan off I discovered one of my main bearing cap bolts just hangin' out in the bottom of the pan.
So now I get to buy new ones... yay haha, my day was somewhat productive.
