What did you do to your truck today part IV - Page 26 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

MichaelNicholas · 07-29-2018, 05:47 PM

Installed a new muffler, washed and waxed cab, installed a tachometer in my 1961 C30 dually. 13k original miles, everything original (for now).

Put the stroker motor in over the weekend, changed front driveshaft, Changed both front brake hoses. broke a bleeder. changed caliper, changed out heater core

69 C10 LWB · 08-04-2018, 03:47 PM

I pulled the 230 and installed a 350. I didn't want to do it but the 230 still wont turn so it has to come apart and I don't want to wait to drive the truck. I also learned the 73 and later manifolds wont fit our trucks, so the almost new exhaust I saved wont do me any good. The driver side manifold dumps down right where the clutch linkage attaches to the frame. It wouldnt have done me much good anyway since I left the pivot ball at home.

New parklamp and headlight harness from classic parts installed today

RDrancher · 08-05-2018, 08:07 PM

Removed the bulk of someone's idea of custom paint and hard-as-a-rock masking tape from my tailgate.

**Clyde65** · 08-05-2018, 08:29 PM

Got him back from painter, put gas in and put him in the garage until next weekend when I’ll hopefully have time to put him back together!!

I like to say Clyde( truck) is now shacking up with Bonnie( trailer)!!

**nsb29** · 08-06-2018, 07:49 AM

It makes you wonder what goes on when the doors are closed lMAO

vin63 · 08-07-2018, 08:07 PM

Finishing up the last bit of rear suspension work this morning before the forecasted heat.

It’s the GM Frost White, I’ll get the brand and code for you today.

GreyFox · 08-15-2018, 04:29 PM

Been replacing my bed wood this week. Using my 1955 Radial Arm saw

I'm using 2"x8" and 2"x6" boards. only issue is I have to make all the edges 3/4" to fit properly. It's a bit of a chore to do but I have the tools to make it happen.

Aceslow · 08-16-2018, 06:36 PM

Fixed some cab mounts

Picked up a 12 bolt diff

jchav62 · 08-10-2018, 11:17 AM

Converted to an internally regulated alternator last night. Very simple and everything seems to be running much happier.

69 C10 LWB · 08-11-2018, 02:13 PM

Ive been looking for a set of manifolds for the small block in my truck and stumbled on these. Loosely installed them this morning to check fit. Couldnt do much because the yard at work is wet after the rain and I dont have room inside at the moment

Are those chrome or stainless steel?

And?

69 C10 LWB · 08-11-2018, 06:08 PM

They are ceramic coated. Unfortunately I didnt have bolts to put them on but they look like there shouldnt be any issues. Clears the clutch linkage no problem but they will be kinda close to the factory starter. They are Jegs p/n 300555, I got them off Craigslist.

I have those on the motor in my 55,, I love them, Hope you will too,, are you upgrading the brakes?

forestb · 08-11-2018, 06:24 PM

Got the truck back from interior shop on Tuesday. All and all I am pretty happy.

vin63 · 08-13-2018, 06:35 PM

Got the Poncho back in the PonchoC10...

69 C10 LWB · 08-14-2018, 07:13 PM

Quick update on the Jegs headers. They kid of fit. Im going to have to smash a tube on the driver side or trim some metal from the motor mount. Ill probably trim the mount. The front tube is making contact with the top of the support that attaches to the frame. I also had to grind a little off the flange so that it will clear the factory temp sending unit.

**allchevy58** · 08-19-2018, 07:46 AM

Installed and wired marker lights on the bed.

**62bagger** · 08-19-2018, 07:38 PM

I was able t make some progress this weekend. I brought the air lines up through the floor and routed to the switches and added air gauges. I also got some sound deadener laid down.
