What did you do today not on your truck... - Page 26 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Ordered a new ACDelco altenator for my Envoy

**special-K** · 02-14-2021, 06:39 PM

Got down in my cellar and finished up the under floor insulation 100%. Still more to do, but no more insulation. Next I will staple Tyvek up. I hadn't been down there in a month or more. It was the perfect day for it. Not fit for anything outside.

Just call me Sean · 02-14-2021, 07:13 PM

My wife woke me up this morning and said the roof was leaking, so I fixed that. It was on the side I didn't shingle yet.

Worked on getting another of my old Coleman lanterns working. This is my 1955 model 202 Professional. Got a couple others to fettle yet, good for these cold winter days.

It looks pretty good for it's age. Did you freshen it up or was it that nice?

It was in pretty good condition when I got it. The fount (tank) needed to be cleaned inside, pump rebuilt, valve rebuilt, generator replaced, stem cleaner and eccentric replaced, new mantel and decal and overall thorough cleaning and polish. The vent is in ok condition, not perfect. Some parts are specific to the 202 and not easily found or reproduced. Many parts on the 202 are made of stainless steel where other models like the similar 200a those parts are steel

I've got an old two burner stove that will no longer turn all the way off. You have to pull the tank out of the stove to kill the last little bit of invisible flame and then loosen the cap to release the pumped up pressure.

Apparently the needle valve and/or the seat is bad, and the stores don't carry that as a replacement part.

Any ideas ???

It came out very nice. Great job!

I have a never used still in the box Coleman stove from 1983-84. I bought it just before I started dating my wife. Camping for her is no HBO. So it never got used. I moved 4 times and still have it for some reason.
I also have a Coleman tent from the same time. I pulled it out once or twice for the kids. It is still in great condition.

The Coleman stove that I have was bought by my mom sometime in the latter half of the 1960s, after she bought the 1966 C/10 and "Desert Camper" so we could go camping and fishing. (I was a fishing nut back then!)

Then somewhere along the way I/we got it from her after she and my stepfather got into fancy RVs and didn't do any more cooking out on tables. Probably came with the 71 K10 around 1983. It worked great for years and years but then one time I burnt my hand trying to put it away after it should have been cooled off.

I bought a Coleman single burner just to go camping by myself, but it's almost like cooking on a flamethrower. I'd like to get the old green two burner working right again now that we have the Silverado and the Leer.

I don't think you can even buy a Coleman gasoline stove anymore? At least there was nothing at the store when I looked. They all use those stupid little throwaway propane cannisters

I got another truck. My uncle was going to take it to a scrap yard.

Just call me Sean · 02-17-2021, 05:55 PM

Cleaned the crap out of it and brought it home. Looks a little better.

72c20customcamper · 02-17-2021, 08:36 PM

1976gmc20 · 02-17-2021, 08:39 PM

We went to the county seat today to do some banking and get a suv-load of groceries.

About 50 miles round trip, snow packed and slushy and we didn't even wreck

2wd all the way except in our driveway.

Mourned the loss of my Life long hero. RIP El Rushbo... I’m a proud Rush baby. If you didn’t like him, keep your thoughts and comments to your self please, this doesn’t need to turn political and get shut down.

With ya buddy.

Played around with the 3d printer while snow continued to pile up outside. Figure I’ll have 12-14” by morning.

I’ve had my carry permit since 2000. I was working for Remington back then and we all took an NRA certified safety class because we were all also range officers at work. My carry ranges from springfield, to glock, to a good old s&w.38 sometimes. Nor sure when my next renewal is.

Then why start with the "political" slant in the first place?! People all know what his political stand was.
