Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
It's been 30 years ago since I rebuilt a power box and now remember why. What a pain getting all 26 BB's back in the right way. I'm on try #8 now and took a break.

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
Back tracking a bit to Fri. I got the heads on and torqued. Also installed the lifters, rocker assemblies and set the valves. First pic using a thread chaser to clean out head bolt holes.

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
So today I decided the engine had to be Chevy orange and I proceeded to prep and paint the thing with VHT engine enamel. Painted the water pump cast aluminum also. Stuck the intake on to get a look see and I can tell I'll be shopping for some more classy valve covers.

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
Took the doors apart to replace the locks. Lubricated the regulator, rollers in the glass channel and used a dry lube on the glass run channels. Cleaned and polished the door trim with 0000 steel wool, repainted the black and installed new woodgrain tape.

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
I changed out my heater core. Got home Friday from work and my passenger side floor was wet and smelled like antifreeze.

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
PICS! Lots of them. I'm about to do this. There's a couple great threads on it already but more always help. I'll be doing this same thing before too long.

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
Worked out the bugs with making a fixed center seat a folding center seat. Had to take it all back apart and add some grease to certain spots and add a hard back for where your arm goes.

Yeah well ;
I can't weld either . I can tune the crap out of old engines and build 'em, do all the repairs etc. but making 'em look sharp isn't my forte' and I hate 'patina' 'cause when I were a laddie it meant : you're a broke ass Country Boy...... ![]() ![]()

"I know what you mean. We were so poor we didn't even have a rug to pull up to watch the floor show. "
Wow ~ you had a TELEVISION ?! ![]() We had two old pre war Jhonny - Poppers, a '35 'A' model and a '37 'B' model, we couldn't afford $9 for a new battery so we spun the flywheel by hand . Ouch . I'm sure others here will chime in with their poverty stories, living on a Dairy Farm I didn't skip many meals so I wasn't worried about any $ .
