Re: What did you do to your truck today!
The LMC exhaust came in yesterday. Tonight I started trying to install the head pipes. Each section has a label with the respective location such as "left downpipe" or "right tail pipe". I started with the right head pipe (passenger side in my book) and there was no way it was going on. The bend angle was all wrong. I gave up and tried the left (driver) pipe. Same issue. I wondered to myself if they mislabelled them, so I tried swapping them. BINGO! Like a glove! Intermediates were mislabelled as well, but at least they were consistent! I will need to cut the intermediate pipes down since the kit is for a lwb or swb and i have a swb. I also plan to buy some of the tailpipe pookie sealer stuff before permanent assembly. Debating on whether or not to use the pipe clamps on the joints or mig weld or both.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
I had some dust installed yesterday and some more coming in today. I think it's going to be like this until I sell it.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
Wet sanding and polish (cut-n-buff) is a PITA! I'm doing that now also. Don't kill yourself if you have some burn through...you might, I did/do. Anything can be fixed...I hope.

I looked at my still loaded truck in SWMBO's garage and wished Joey hadn't worked too hard and broken two of the screws in his spine so he wasn't convalescing from yet another back sugery and I could go borrow the towable cherrypicker and get the 292 out of my truck so I can begin working on it and working my trcuk again...
![]() I have a 150 # Moto that needs to go to the CHP for VIN inspection to - day and I can't find anyone to truck it there for me ,I might have to rent a U-Haul pickup else I'll have to push it 5 miles each way in this dang heat..... Yes , I am whining again , I'll stop now .

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
I'm on 316 now too, You can still see the new posts..
I looked around for my OBD port. Who ever put the TBI 350 in my truck needs to never ever touch a wrench again. I can't get the truck to start anymore, I had it running a week ago though it wouldn't go far before it died. I put a new battery, new fuel pump, filter in and now it wont start at all. I dropped the old fuel pump in and it still wont start. I rebuilt the TBI and the pressure regulator, replaced the spring in there as well. I haven't got the parts to check my fuel pressure yet but I can see fuel coming out of the injectors, I've also got spark, and it will run off of starting fluid. Anyone here good with TBI? This is the first one I have wrenched on.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
Oh good! I'm glad I am not the only one that was stuck on page 315!
A friend came over who was an army heavy vehicle mechanic for 15 years. We got the old cab-to-frame bushings out AND he resorted to using my dremel tool after exhausting himself with my chisels. ![]() I'll post pics later....my front bushings fell into dust! The back ones are OK but WE CAN'T FIGURE OUT HOW THE NEW ONES GO IN. I'm posting pics tomorrow asking for advice. Greg |

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
Finished my flip down ashtray mod for the FM converter. I didn't want to cut up the factory ashtray, so cut up another one and painted it silver/textured black to match the glovebox door and gauge cluster.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
Finshed painting upper cab white. Now I have to buff and install the rear trim beside installing new glass all around, plus changing the vent window gaskets. No rest for the wicked..

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
Last night: Changed the oil, topped off the tranny fluid, replaced the air filter, pcv valve, and breather. Cleaned the valve covers (inside and out), installed new valve cover gaskets and grommets, wiped down the engine, and cleaned the air cleaner.
Tonite: Give the 350 a full tune up. Wash the truck and clean out the inside. Tomorrow morning: Get two new tires and an alignment, load up the ice chest and the toolbox, then I'm gonna head down to Escondido, CA for the Cruisin' Grand: C-10 Club Night.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
Quote:
Friday: Went and got new front tires and had an alignment done. Went home, packed up the backpack, some tools, and headed down to Escondido for Cruisn' Grand. The truck made it fine. Saturday: Woke up made the trip home from Escondido. I was going to take a nap, but I'm motivated to continue working on the interior of the truck, sounded like I was riding in a tin can, gonna change that with new headliner, door panels, weatherstripping, and carpet. Before that, I need to paint the dash, kick panels, cab ceiling, pillars, back window area and then finish it off with a radio/speakers install.Then I'll finally get the cst seats (buddy buckets) upholstered, collapse the steering column, install a bigger diameter steering wheel, a dash pad and install a new tach/guage cluster.
