This is the 1 that had just been rebuilt and spewed fluid all over the place?

Put on an intake, carb, recurved the distributor, pulled out the second battery and some junk wiring for a camper, still have more to do.

61_FL_Apache · 11-11-2012, 05:09 PM

Replaced master cylinder. They dont make them like they use too. This is the second one with the last 2 years.

woodscavenger · 11-11-2012, 11:41 PM

Took off the driver door. Time to start some rust repair..... Crossing my fingers, I am not sure how bad the damage is yet.

yes....it was not a "rebuild" it was a service job to repair the tranny. It was never discussed to do anything with the torque converter, which is a lock up unit that is activated with a toggle switch...I get the truck back tonight and hopefully this mess is behind me now.

Clrussell · 11-12-2012, 12:26 PM

Put the rear steelies on and pulled the Barden bumper off. Oh, and cut the tailpipe so it doesn't stick out 6".
You guys and gals really inspire me, Thank You!

LT1 Burb · 11-13-2012, 12:22 AM

If you have a cable to attach your phone to the PC, you should be able to find the files that way.

hemifalcon · 11-13-2012, 03:13 PM

Rolled it outside with new/used wheels installed with the tall tires all around.. 15x7" front with 15x8" rears..

dardardp8615 · 11-13-2012, 07:53 PM

Visited it at the body shop. I took it there a week ago to have the doors adjusted. Now it's done and I'm thinking of having them pull the ashtray, heater block off and radio delete plate, smoothing out the entire center dash so I can put my gages there along with a tach.

Today I finished up a major rewiring job. Underdash harness, front harness and engine harness. This also allowed me to switch from lights to gauges. It was at the scary point when I took the picture. Never done any wiring before but it all worked out good!

wallacewoody · 11-14-2012, 12:32 AM

Installed gauges into my stock bezel. Temp/Oil/Voltshttp://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=551256

Casted a new shifter knob at work. Still have to drill and tap it for the threads.

MikeS. · 11-15-2012, 08:39 AM

Been doing more work on the electrical rewire. My buddy Vince put on all new rear drum hardware, shoes, drums, wheel cylinder kits and springs. Here's a pic of him workin on it.

jbgroby · 11-15-2012, 09:34 AM

Tap and Drill it!.............
