What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter - Page 30 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Got the Delco-Pleasure lift gauge mounted and air up the air tank on the ramp truck then took it for a ride.

Lots of people would not call this progress but I know this crowd appreciates the level of time and effort to get to this point.

Started with just pulling the drive shaft and removing the long rear brake line. That went so well I decided to cut the springs out. Then that lead to cutting the rear end u bolts. What the heck, wonder if soaking the trailing arm bolts for weeks has paid off.

Now all I have to do is clean it all up. Got rust encapsulator and frame paint just need time and a pile of parts.

I know it doesn't seem like progress but it is..Don't pay attention to what other people say....

Working on the power steering this week , This is a 67 short bed frame that wasn't dimpled for a power steering gear , at the bottom left of the picture you can see where I modified the frame just enough to fit the box without going crazy with heat and a BFH to make it fit , It really doesn't take much to have it fit and still look clean . Just waiting on the new pump and pulleys to show up and chase down some stainless steel lines .

**Beau2a** · 10-20-2019, 08:08 PM

Installed a new master cylinder. New NAPA calipers and hoses. Powerstop drilled & slotted rotors and pads. Stops great now. Pedal doesn’t sink to the floor at a stop light.

Took it to my first judged show and received best of show for my class.

Got my power steering pump and stainless lines in today , One more bite off the elephant .

**SoCoC10** · 10-30-2019, 12:34 AM

While my paint and body guy has the bed, doors and front clip, I was able to get the rear section of the K10 shorty’s frame pressure washed, cleaned and painted. Also got the radiator core support painted too.

Andy4639 · 10-30-2019, 11:42 AM

Got the cab bolts all loose and ready to pick it up to swap it over to the new frame. Front clip is off also.

My granddaughter will be 16 I'm a little over a year. I went out to the warehouse and picked up her truck and took it back to the shop so we could start getting it ready for her to drive. Hugger Orange, factory air, with less than 60,000 miles
We bought it from the original owners son.

**Boog** · 11-01-2019, 08:29 PM

That's that Cali truck isn't it OL?

Sitting in my garage seeing your garage makes me sad.

Barnfind46 · 11-03-2019, 04:06 PM

Pulled mine out and checked the fluids then took a drive down to put some fresh gas in it. Most people park their trucks for the winter. I parked mine for the summer. Got too dang hot to drive without A/C here in Texas.

That is one nice looking plating job on that carburetor! I hope that the rebuild job is that good. I rebuild my own. Next time I rebuild my Q-Jet I should buy the plating kit!

**davischevy** · 11-02-2019, 09:32 PM

It looks like it will be a while before we will get started on this Blazer, so we loaded it up to take to storage.

rowdy11 · 11-03-2019, 10:52 AM

I got the final paint on my transmission and basecoat on the engine. The momentum is slowly building...

bmxbang · 11-03-2019, 07:30 PM

slowly getting all the wires/fuel lines cleaned up on the frame rails so I can get the new headers/exhaust on and done with.

11-03-2019, 08:16 PM

The C20 Snip-Snip.

67C10Step · 11-03-2019, 08:29 PM

Finally got the encapsulator and top coat on my trailing arms. Should have the rear frame section done soon as well. Time to order some parts!

OregonNed · 11-04-2019, 11:07 AM

We've about finished up this wood veneer project. Slow progress with the cooler weather out here increasing drying times of the finish coats. Final sanding shown here..
