Re: What did you do to your truck today!
Tried to unbolt rear springs with no luck. Now they sit soaking in pb blaster. Will find a pipe to go over my breaker bar tomorrow, hopefully they don't break.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
I got allot done today. I put in new shocks and springs on all 4 corners, and I installed new ece trailing arms, and put a dual exhaust that I bought from lmc. The stance of the truck is just how it should be now, and it sounds good as well.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
Bought a slightly used rebuilt engine with double hump heads and a Muncie 4 speed to replace the old tired 42 year old engine in my GMC.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
Played with the choke and pulled up on it and got it to idle without stalling. Found a vacuum hose with a 1 inch tear at the end.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
Son and I swapped out the valve-body & governor in the 2004R

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
I wire wheeled the underside of my bed, primed it with 2 coats of Rust Bullet, and added 2 more coats of role on bedliner for undercoating and sound.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
Finished engine and transmission install after rebuilding this winter. Worked out about 90% of the kinks that come with installing new and different parts... Vortec heads, new carb, new radiator, hoses, and all the Misc stuff. Oh yeah and then there was the heater core that couldn't handle the new install and started puking coolant everywhere. That will be next....
I love the Voodoo cam and the sound that comes with it. Almost wish I went with a little more rough idle cam but this has a ton of power to go along with the new heads. It still had the original motor in it when it came out and I absolutely love having the torque and hp that this truck was meant to have! Drove it for about 2hrs home after getting every broke in. Took the long way home just to enjoy and get it all set.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
Got my vintage license plate project kicked off. Had one set for a passenger car and got a couple more sets cheap off ebay. Gonna paint them all and if they turn out good will sell two sets and use one for myself.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
Dude! I can just picture those plates looking like that last picture, right after a bunch of cats in striped jumpsuits took them out of the press at the Huntsville unit 43 years ago!

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
You hit the nail on the head. These are the same plates that came with the Huntsville prison rodeo flyer separator sheet on them.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
only had the truck for a few weeks now. yesterday i put new visors in (LMC). repainted the glove box door, rear view mirror arm, visor brackets, and the edlebrock air cleaner cover. after the paint dried on the cover i belt sanded the tops of the ribs back to the bare aluminum. than checked the timing and found it 12 deg BTDC which is WAY to far. it should probably be from 4 to 6 maybe 8 at most. then realized the vacuum advance was loose on my MSD cap so first thing this morning i pulled the cap off and tightened it up. then tonight i ordered a 4/6 drop and disc brake conversion kit. i got too excited and paid an extra $93 dollars to get in 2 days. ill be doing this project this weekend hopefully.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
Lowered the front and added disc brakes. Not finished but had to set the front on the ground to see.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
today i had to try and undo the mistakes of the prior owner. the truck is dark blue, originally light blue. the previous owner decided to try and fix some serfice rust by spraying a metalic blue rattle can pain over it that was far from either the original color or the current color. with some steel wool and minineral spirits i was able to get rid of a lot of it. not it just looks like it has patina.

Looked out the window @ 0-Dark:30 and saw it was raining so I drove it to work , nice and sedately in the slow lane @ 65 MPH as the 'tards wizzed & slid by in their hoopty escalades and exploders all crossed up on bald 22" tires going faster in the rain than they do when it's dry....
Seriously , there's no fixing stupid .
