Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
spent the last 2 days putting a clutch in mine. Yes, those of you who frequently do clutches probably could have done it in a few hours. We spent about 4 hours trying to get the old pilot bushing out, then had problems with the ball stud in the bell housing and the spring that clips it to the clutch fork. Had a good friend scrounge those parts up from stuff they had laying around at the house. Then didn't get the Hurst shifter stick back in correctly, and it took another hour or so to figure that simple fix out. The truck is back home with no passenger side exhaust as we took that apart to give us room, and didn't have replacement collector bolts or a gasket at 9:00 last night. That was an adventure to drive it with open exhaust! I'll button that up today and be completely done.

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
Pulled out the old crappy carpet and laid down some POR15, sound deadener, and new carpet. Now my seat looks like crap so that will be my next project.

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
Made the dolly for my bed. And painted the passenger side of the frame. Doing this one outside so I have to wait on the weather. Talked to two dustless blasters the cheapest was 600 $ to blast the inside of the bed and back half of the frame. Not happening , sanded acid etch then epoxy prime . PPG urethane black top coat ,it works for a driver. Do the rest on the next nice day. Going to do the trailing arm and link bushings when they come in so I'll do the rear and arms then off the truck.

And yes the price was out of hand . I did the dolly in the morning cause it was cloudy and cool . Warmed up nicely so I started the frame took me about 4 hours with a rotary sander and wire brushes on the angle grinder. He would have had everything done in that 4 hours. His real costs are a few pounds of glass and some gas for the compressor. I had to supply the water too.

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
Removed a previous owners' "ford solenoid mod" and a bunch of non-functioning or redundant electrical garbage, while overhauling the whole system. Not the most fun way to spend your weekend.

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
I went out to the shop to move the truck out so to move another one in and found this. It's an old tire but was still holding air so I've waited to replace it. It was good enough for a roller.
Guess I'll be ordering another tire now. ![]()
