Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
Gave the truck a 4.5 inch lift. These are awesome to help me move the truck out of the way when not working on it. And I got them for a great deal on CL. $50 for all 4 at 1500lb capacity each.
I also got in a gang of parts to reseal the rear end, axles, wheel cylinders, and new breaks all around. And everything I needed to put the motor back together. Once I get the transmission all rebuilt it will be ready to put together. It will be able to go and stop |

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
Media Blasted parts..and being that I'm brand new to the "rebuilt" life...I have no idea what I blasted...Ok. Some of the parts I know but here are the ones that I don't know.
I bought this truck.."from a guy..who took it all apart..without a plan..so I bought the truck" now I have to develop a plan. I've gone through Owners workshop manual and several parts catalogues..can't find these as they've been updated in design, I suspect. |

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
I would start a new thread for this type of stuff. You will have many more questions. Good luck with your restoration.

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
Well your alright then, you like me can only have so many, which in my case is one, I do see your point on sitting, I have sold projects because someone else has more time and $ and willing to build projects I have that sit, hope your truck has a good home.

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
Pulled the doors off. One is in great shape, the other, not so much. I should have covered that speaker hole years ago..

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
Have to behave and stay out of the shop for a few weeks but did still find few projects to do. Repainted the letters on these emblems yesterday.

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
I put new internals in my Edelbrock 1406, and gave it a good exterior cleaning. It has always ran pretty rich, though well. Not knowing exactly what the previous owner did, (I know his nephew or something tweaked it) I went back with stock metering rods, springs and jets - primary and secondary to start fresh. Also found that the floats were maladjusted - set too high, so now that's all at the recommended level. Also new gaskets and other parts. Looking forward to bolting it back up this week one evening.

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
set my seat frame in to measure for a speaker box. Sooo....I built a (cardboard speaker box) to mock up a "real one" when my sub and amp arrive next week.

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
Was yours a full foam seat? I have one from my ‘67 that has foam and stuffing on top that needs recovered and wondering what you did to yours.

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
My seat was done before I picked up the truck and I just put a covering over the back. It was all new foam over the springs when who ever did it. If the foam is still good on yours it doesn't look to be a real hard job to do with new covers.
