Re: What did you do to your truck today?
[QUOTE=lasher78;6171685]what did you get the gearbox, pitman arm, pump and lines out of to use?
Gearbox and pitman arm came from a 78. The motor in my truck is out of a 72 nova so the pump and brackets came from the same car. I bought a pressure line for a 72 c-10 with the same 250 motor. The fit wasn't perfect but it works. The adapter plate and rag joint coupler came from captain fab on this site. Couldn't have gone smoother. Posted via Mobile Device

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
I put tranny fluid, power steering fluid, and coolant in the truck today and started it for the first time in over 6 years. The 89 BB had the lobe for a machanical fuel pump ( I put a q jet on it) and it works just fine. Oh did I mention I put fuel in it also.. It purrs and on the first try.. Had a few tranny leaks. I forgot to tighten the cooler lines and I dont have a gear in for the speedo cable.. OOPS... Bone Yard here I come. It is a 700R4 tranny from my 4x4. I put an output shaft in it. I had a big on my face for the first time in a long time. Now I just need to get it buttoned up so I can drive it.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
Got sick and tired of the POS aftermarket replacement turn signal not quite working right, so I took it apart, figured out how it works and modified it. Now it does what it's suppose to.
If you hear the signal but the dash light isn't flashing unless you push the turn signal up or down, this might be your fix. Test it out before putting the steering wheel back on, it takes some tweaking to get it just right.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
Started the process of wiring the dash cluster. Still need to send off the Tachometer to have it modernized, you no longer need a transmitter unit with the upgrade. The only change I would make now is that I would not order the gages with the Dolphin, they did not make them that way 5 years back however.
I tested the clock and will prob. have it upgraded as well. There service cleans and polishes the bezel and make the movements quartz.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
After a very long year I finally put some paint on this thing. Turned out very well, I'm pretty happy with it.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
Finished the install of the filler neck on my 64 stepper. I am very pleased with it. Photos will have to wait. My wife has the camera and she is with our daughter waiting on the last few days of her pregnancy.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
Last night I completely disassembled my brand new 4BBL carb and cleaned it thoroughly because when I assembled my AN fuel lines I forgot to clean out one of the lines after cutting it with a dremmel tool. All those little rubber and metal fines sure can make a mess of a carb and you'd be surprised how much just one cut will generate.
