Re: What did you do to your truck today?
That B Body cluster looks right at home in there! Nice job. The LT1 is going to really haul.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
Thanks for the positive feedback... I have driven it on the road sitting on a bucket, no doors, windshield, fenders, inner fenders, bed, etc. It does run good..

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
Had a good day working on the truck despite the fact it was only 32 degrees out. All went well until I broke off a bolt that holds down the thermostat cover...Snap!

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
Isn't it always frozen in Canada? Ha ha ( I am originally from BC so I can make that comment!) I forgot to add that I have no garage but with no rain it was not too bad!

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
Actually did it last week, but installed a class V trailer hitch, Rick's fuel tank with gen 5 Camaro fuel pump module and new poly bushings for my CPP panhard bar all in preparation to tow a mustang home from Ventura

In the Northern part of Saskatchewan Canada we get a whole 2-3 months of semi warm car weather, whoohoo.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
Somedays I wish I was further North where the igloo's are, easy and cheap to build not like all my insulation I put in my house to keep the -20 to -30 plus weather out. Oh well a few more months and the ice will melt and a couple of months of summer, haha.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
I know this weather is horrible. It is almost 80 out there and I would do some work on my truck but I fear I might break a sweat.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
What a project you're taking on. Looks good. I took my LT1 chevy truck out for another test ride today and will need posi for sure. You'll love how they run.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
Took the truck out for a cruise with the LT1 finally running and can't believe how this thing runs. I've had some warmed over 350's before and this runs so much better. Love the fuel injection. Starts and runs awesome. Here's a pic with engine running and one of me trying out the excelleration. From the pic you can see I need positraction. Picked up a ford 9" rear end with disk brakes, 5x5 lug pattern to match front. Time to install a posi unit and get it under the truck. I had done this same swap with the 9" on a 66 C10 and loved it.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
Figured out I could save the driver side door. Just need to patch the bottom not replace the whole thing.
So, I took measurements, drew an outline of the profile and cut out the rust. Should finish it up this weekend and start on the passenger side door. Steven

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
We have a heater that works now! Replaced the fan motor which had seized, tore apart the fan switch and cleaned it up with a dremel tool, and ran new wiring. Moved back the radiator and installed the fan shroud, which seems to have solved our overheating issues...very productive couple of days. Still need to order some new heater control levers and knobs but at least everything works now.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
Grandpa was able to repair the original sending unit! We now have a functioning gas gauge. I have two more I will let him take a crack at.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
Pulled the Heater out the other day for a member in need. So today I cleaned up the atifreeze and did a quick polish. Ran into some loose screws but I did tighten the loose bolts on the truck. Checked for leaks where the pipe plugs were installed. Fluids and fuel pressure were good.
