Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
Installed a coolant recovery tank. Used one from a 1980ish Monte Carlo. GM part number 14085692. Made a couple brackets for the engine side mounting tabs. Fits perfectly between the battery and hood hinge.

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
Drove it down to the corner store for beer, and the whole dang parking lot was packed with a car show I didn't even know was going on.
They directed me to a spot I didn't see, and they really liked the truck! ...of course. ![]() Never been to a car show before, I had a great time! ![]() Nice family orientated folks there! ![]() Yes I missed front end Friday, but that doesn't really matter huh. ![]() ![]() |

As for the beer, I'm reminded of this "joke". A guy's wife goes away for the weekend, and when she comes back, notices that there aren't many beer cans in the recycle bin. She asks him about it, and he says, "Well, that's my 'listening juice'."

Undercarriage painted and ready for the box. Had some gasket type cushions given to me by Metaldoc. Perfect time to install. Thanks Metaldoc.

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
Replaced all the rubber and felts on the drivers door. Completely gone made a hell of a racket. Also had to weld the bracket under the vent window that reinforces the outside skin to the inside skin. Weird thing is the passenger side is like new. Must never rolled the window down or used the pass door. P.O. was the original owner guess he was single.

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
started cleaning up the 69. trying to convince myself to sell it so I can spend more time and money on the 71. I know if I sell it I will soon regret it. I have replaced almost everything on it . if it had good paint it would be easier to hang on to.

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
[QUOTE=Shinysideup;8317070]Looks like it was made for these trucks.
![]() The tank has 3 tabs. One at the front near the battery and the two you can see in the picture. The front one fits flat to the inner fender. I bent up 2 U shaped brackets 1/2 tall and 3/4 inch tall with a welded nut for the tabs you can see and pop riveted them to the inner fender. I think these tanks are getting harder to come by. If you search on that part number a lot of parts vendors show them out of stock. I found that one on eBay for about $35 plus a $4 cap at Oreilly.

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
That looks like the late '70s to '80s burp tanks for just about every big GM car. I have one that my FiL mickey-moused onto the driver's side fender well, complete with a kinked 7 foot long hose.

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
Metaldoc had made them up. Just a cushion between the box and frame. One less squeak or rattle.

Installed my Dirty Dingo trans cross member. Will paint and bolt down once I know where the 4L80 will land.

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
A few more upgrades to "The Redheaded Step Child". Blacked out engine bay & installed a high note horn. Added a sway bar. Installed a KPH speedo lens. Installed a buddy console. Rattle can high gloss on the inner fenders.

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
Did the dash pad what a pain. The new one wouldn't go on for nothing . Old one on and off easy as could be had me stumped for a while, till I noticed the studs on the new pad were a good 1/4 inch longer than the original. Little work on the studs with a cut off wheel and it slid right in . Bought from the Truck shop . And restored the gauges. Used mothers headlight restorer to get the scratches out of the plastic lens.
