Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
Yes I do, or that silly Harbor Freight infrared laser thermometer is way out of spec. I should have tested that thing against some boiling water. Someone on here has pointed out that the Teflon tape can interfere with an electrical connection.

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
Decided to continue on with dialing my motor in. Nuthin special but I like em to run like a top. Pulled the valve covers and marked all the pushrods with a paint pen to make they were all spinning properly.
HA! All working as hoped for, 70k on the top end all those Comp Cams lifters are working. Did a quick valve adjustment and only found on that was a tad loose. Got here buttoned back up and checked the gauges. Revs to 5500 no problem, no ticks, knocks or worries at this point, GOING FOR A DRIVE! |

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
Removed the side windows, wing windows, window regulators and door latches in both doors. Replaced a broken door latch relay, new wing windows and precision door wipes. While I was in there, cleaned up both regulators, painted and greased. Ditto for the door latches. Also installed a new lock set and adjusted the latches. Doors closes soft and lock for the first time in years. Also installed a little dynamat in the doors to soften the thud a little.

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
At the request of my Wife, I replaced the crusty broken down armrest pad on the drivers door....picked it up @ Classic Parts of America in KC this last weekend...maybe if she takes more opportunities to drive the truck, there will be more requests for upgrades

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
Got back from a car show on the coast last weekend. It rained a lot of the time so had to do the usual cleanup. It was a great time A good number of C10s during the cruise.

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
Installed my eBay Camaro/Vega GT steering wheel, upgraded my '80s era 6x9 door speakers with a $20 pair of Swap Meet Pioneer's (best money spent in quite awhile) & installed the middle seat belt I bought from Speedway last year....inching up on it! Lol

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
Made good gains (yesterday as it's now 2 AM). Removed grill and passenger side outer fender. Chased threads (dad did this) on four bolt holes we had cross threaded into getting that far in assembly.
I opened up 1 hole in the core support and 3 holes in the grill brackets with a die grinder after making those with chalk. Put fender and grill back on. Now only 1 hole won't line up (naturally one that did line up last time---SMH). So I am closer to having it together! ![]() |
