You guys inspired me tonight. I hadn't really night-tested the brightness of the 168 ambers I put in the dash. These pics are with only three 168 ambers and
one stock one. I couldn't get to one with my big ham-sized Popeye forearms...

Anyway, I don't know what 168 Nokya hyper-bulbs are. I know it was $40 including shipping for four...which I thought was steep. Hope they last.

Maybe these pics will help someone decide whether or not to do the switch.

Rear disc brake rotors figured out finally!

Expat_dude · 03-22-2013, 06:27 PM

Bed back together...

butternut1972 · 03-22-2013, 07:44 PM

Spent a bunch of money on it. Parts should be here next week.

SCHRUMGMC · 03-22-2013, 11:25 PM

Holy crap, thats a Nice chevy

**JJorgensen52** · 03-22-2013, 11:48 PM

Towed it home! (Or used it to tow stuff

)

SCHRUMGMC · 03-22-2013, 11:51 PM

Haha awesome man, What are you plans on that Flatbed ?

Andy4639 · 03-23-2013, 09:01 PM

I ordered my new rotor's & brake pads yesterday. MS brakes in Mooresville NC! Should have them by next weekend. I'm going to order new seals and bearing's tomorrow.

eagleuh1 · 03-23-2013, 06:54 PM

Looks sweet Magwakeener.

CMH77 · 03-23-2013, 07:10 PM

Ground out the old cracked and weathered seam sealer in the drip rail, sanded, and resealed. Should have been done 20 years ago and is the cause of about half of the rust that it has. Hope the rain/snow holds off long enough tomorrow to let it cure enough to sand a couple spots smooth and shoot some primer over it.

Drove the hell outta her, put the NOS bowtie and domelight on, and now working on putting an NOS AC/HEATER duct piece in

I tried to start the '67 to move it out of the garage so I could replace the radiator in the '92 K-3500. The 454 in the '67 wouldn't start, I think it is a fuel problem.

I decided to use my 4 wheeler, Kawasaki, to pull the '67 over to a carport.

Finally got the '92 in the garage and removed the old, leaky radiator.

Had to stop and help my brother work on the hydraulics on his little Kioti tractor.

Gmcfolife · 03-23-2013, 08:36 PM

Raised my front leaf spring mounts 2 inches to give me another 1" drop.

Replaced a leaky lower hose, moved the temp sending unit while I had the coolant drained, replaced the power steering pump and pressure hose. Sounded like marbles rolling around in there!! Tracked down a tranny leak. Had to watch it for a while running to track it down. More to do tomorrow...

Mayo · 03-23-2013, 08:07 PM

replaced my old horn button with my freshly restored one

Sloan66 · 03-23-2013, 08:15 PM

Ran new fuel line from tank to pump and bent a new pump to carb line. Installed starter, HEI new plug wires, put alternator back on, Power steering pump, still looking for the clamp to hold lines to frame!!

ChillWinstonC20 · 03-23-2013, 09:05 PM

Hauled an old furnace, air conditioner and some recycling this morning.

This afternoon, reattached the downpipe to the exhaust manifold after I literally "blew a gasket" but this time went sans gasket thanks to some advice on this forum. It'll hold 'til I get my new manifolds or headers.

Changed oil and filter.

Drove it some more with the window down. It was a beautiful day in Columbus, OH.

SCHRUMGMC · 03-23-2013, 09:07 PM

Thought about getting a job, and praying for one...Hoping to get my 59

TripleNickel · 03-23-2013, 11:24 PM

Installed the OER tailgate that I found today at Summit's "Scratch and Dent" sale (which cost me less than $100, including tax).

Also installed new fuel sending unit and was surprised to find this part from LMC had a metric size hex (but fortunately retained the proper, non-metric thread for the steel line) on the fuel fitting.

birdistheword · 03-24-2013, 12:16 AM

Kicked out my old cracked windshield to find the rust monster munching away.

SCHRUMGMC · 03-24-2013, 12:08 PM

Yikes !!!

How would you fix that ?
