Got my brake light troubles sorted out....now on to replacing the trailing arms

belldar · 10-04-2013, 02:06 PM

Towstrap that is awesome! Love orange!

Heat pressure washed my frame, engine, and tranny yesterday before the snowstorm hit. High pressure steam is a great asset.

legotech7 · 10-04-2013, 04:35 PM

Fixed the right front parking light, witch wasn't coming on when I pulled the headlight switch, just for the parking light. I had to ground the light housing, and that's all it took. All lights work as they should.....

ksshane · 10-04-2013, 06:19 PM

Ordered my flip kit

In The Ten Ring · 10-04-2013, 10:43 PM

I got home late last night to find all the parts I ordered from Jeremiah and Jenn's junkyard! I unboxed the battery try and brackets. No wonder my truck only gets 12 mpg: everything on it weighs a ton! LOL

I'll try and inspect the fender and radiator core support this weekend.

magwakeenercew2jh · 10-04-2013, 10:46 PM

Loaded her up for a trip to At$%#@r. Been waiting almost five years to get RAT up there to the C/10 Get-together.

The Boss even made cookies.

*Fitz* · 10-06-2013, 01:26 PM

Exhaust extensions on my electric dump plugs.

DT1 · 10-06-2013, 02:25 PM

I entered her in my first car show yesterday.
Won "Best of Stock". Pretty cool.

magwakeenercew2jh · 10-06-2013, 10:15 PM

Unhappy to have had to put my tonneau cover on today. I like the tonneau okay. But putting it on signifies that the weather is changing
and I gotta put some coverage over the wood bed.

The Boss' car comes back from the body shop tomorrow afternoon. So, today was the dress rehersal for sending my new paint outdoors.

Even MORE unhappy that the truck cover sent by a non-forum vendor (THERE's my first mistake) was $200 worth of crap.
Idiotic fit. Substandard materials for what they promised.

Now, the fight goes on to return it.

DT1 that is a great looking truck...congrats. you won because you deserve it ...

Detailed the engine bay and added a 4 barrel. Fixed some creative engineering while I was at it. If you will notice in the before shot, some PO welded the six cylinder stands to the frame instead of using the proper stands. I still have a little more to finish up.

Looks a lot better!!

Replacing the front brakes

Mr Handy · 10-05-2013, 08:29 AM

This week I ordered some break parts of my, installed original mirrors with 5" rounds and replaced the giant mirrors that were on it. Today I plan to get my drive shaft idler bearing replaced and hopefully get my outer rocker welded on.

74baggedbug · 10-05-2013, 02:35 PM

Went by the muffler shop to get a bracket fixed, ended up having them install 2 new flowmastes and dumping the exhaust before the rearend.. Sounds a lot better but gonna have them install a x-pipe next weekend

mud.man.rj · 10-05-2013, 04:39 PM

Haven't run an x pipe before except one in a Mustang, will it sound any different or just work better.

dirtyjim · 10-05-2013, 06:00 PM

I installed some homemade baffles to try and quiet down my flowmasters enough to almost hear the radio. installed an antenna so I can listen to more than reverend Horton heat cd's on my radio. replaced the door weather stripping with some junkyard dodge Durango weatherstripping to try and keep the rain out of my truck. parked my truck next to a mclaren mp4-12c and came to the conclusion they are not a very good looking supercar, at least when parked next to a 67-72 c10

mud.man.rj · 10-05-2013, 06:07 PM

What good is a Mclaren anyway, trucks are cool all day everyday.

ksshane · 10-05-2013, 06:13 PM

Hopefully repaired a leaky brake master cylinder. Cleaned up "some" of the rat nest they call wiring on my truck. There is a ton Im pretty sure I can get rid of because I think its from multiple stereo hack jobs, but I need to wait tell I can trace everything. For now its all zip tied and hanging under my dash, but atleast its not all hanging right over the gas pedal now.

ksshane · 10-05-2013, 06:53 PM

awesome.. simply awesome

In The Ten Ring · 10-05-2013, 07:30 PM

I unboxed these:

Both are practically "New" condition! BUT...UPS had a surprise for me....

Calling a body shop Monday for an estimate. I did pay extra for insurance and even paid more for extra padding.

rincones · 10-05-2013, 07:33 PM

Mann. R they going to pay for the damages?

In The Ten Ring · 10-05-2013, 07:45 PM

I've already let the Kings know what's up and we are both upset with UPS. Jenn suggested I get an estimate and then she can contact UPS. Oh gosh I'd hate to have to send this thing back, it's such a beauty.

Mr Handy · 10-05-2013, 10:28 PM

I pulled my drive shaft and replaced all the u joints and the idler bearing. I also took a few pictures of my c10 and my buddy's c20
