Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
Sold her! Sad day indeed... A truck junkie (the mechanic whose been working on her for me) bought her about 10 days ago. When I told him I had to relocate to Connecticut. He begged me to sell and keep "Long-Green" my C10 from the bad winters and salty roads, and offered a very good price. Not my intention, but when the local PA job went away, I knew I couldn't keep all my toys.

Out for run today and stopped in to Grant Shwartz that was on Vegas rat rods. He's got a shop here in Ontario just over a half hour away. Super guy and great fabricator.

Bought a Cold Case radiator Sunday. I'll pop it into my truck when it comes.

Drivers training days.
My daughter has claimed old blue and wants to get her license in it. Except she's getting the Sonoma 1st.

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
Nothing big but I fixed my exhaust leak at the flange. The flange had cracked so I welded it up. I stuck a small bolt in the crack to fill it up .
No more leak are loudness!

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
Got the new Cold Case radiator delivered today. I was at the care facility where my MiL is for rehab after falling last Tuesday, so one of my sons brought it into the house. He'll be the one putting it in with "parental supervision", because I still have "candy hands" after carpal tunnel surgery, over a year ago.

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
Put in a new axle in the 67 GMC over the weekend. Took out the old 12 bolt with a bad pinion bearing and replaced it with a 14 bolt, 6 lug, 3/4 ton axle from a 91 chevy. No more grinding noise! yay! New headlights with led halos from Octane lighting just showed up the other day that will be installed shortly. So then I can actually see at night.

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
Hi, I chased a nasty miss on the “new” crate motor, now with 7k miles. I replaced the hei cap and rotor, pulled the carb, completely dissassembled it and cleaned it. I didnt find the issue until I pulled the plugs and found #6 fouled terribly. Yikes. The wire had been rubbing on the dipstick tube and sure enough there was gray “tracks” on the tube.
I replaced the wires and 8 fresh R45TS plugs and that wire. Now she runs on all 8 and goes like the wind.... Day well spent! Tom

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
Replaced the trans cooler lines. Po used gas line to fix rusted areas. Needless to say it turned to a mushy black piece of penne pasta like consistancy. All new steel with the proper oil cooler hose.
