Re: What did you do to your truck today!
Pulled the grill on my '70 and cleaned the 43 years of gunk off of it. Then knock out the major dents. Later I'll strip it, polish it and clear coat it.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
Another bit of fun in the garage today. Had some left-over carpet. The chunk from my failed attempt at creating a home-grown headliner.
So I cut *it* up to make some kick panels for below the door panels. Cleaned up the elec. window wiring. Tightened a cab mount and called it a day.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
I changed the oil and oil filter. It has been over a year and a half since I last changed the oil. I have put on over 10,000 miles highway on the old 350 with in the last year alone.
Went through a devastating break-up over a year ago that really took me down. Just now really putting my life back together.  Keith |

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
Got the radiator out!
Next job is to replace the frame-to-cab and radiator core support bushings and install my new radiator. HOWEVER, I'm now considering replaceing the whole core support and inner fenders due to all the rust.  Core suppor and fender rust (same on both sides).

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
replaced the donut gasket between manifold and pipe with the help of a little heat ( fought it for a few days with just pb blaster) then I removed the giant step bumper and drilled some holes to mount the plate to the truck. it sounds so much better when the exhaust is coming out of the back instead of from the engine bay

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
Kind of a big day for me. First "Long Run" of only 50 miles.
To take RAT to the pinstriper. Only one casualty on the way. A windshield wiper blade blew off. I knew that crap plastic connector was cracked....What do you guys and gals run? I can't seem to find anything substantial to hook on to the wiper arms. This'll be the last pic with no pin-stripes. Got the mirrors on, and a couple of clean-up items. Ran fine all the way. 3:07's with the 350/350 combo gave me 2200 RPM at 64 mph. Of course, I'm running the 20's...so..........?????

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
Pulled my TBI off and did new gaskets, o-rings, filters, regulator gasket, and regulator spring. Truck still wont start. Back at it tomorrow, I'm thinking I've got issues with how much fuel pressure I've got. Everywhere online says I need 13 psi and my new fuel pump claims to be 10-14 psi. I think a fuel pressure gauge is next on the list.
