Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
Boy, are you ever going to be mad (after all you did for that fellow who purchased you truck), if the Leafs ever beat the Canes in the playoffs. Wait a minute...................you're ok.......that will never happen. What was I thinking. The Leafs haven't made it to the first round in seven years.

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
Very, very nice 235. NOT fault finding but I'd suggest you put something on the exhaust manifolds so they don't rust/crust up and ruin the beautiful look of that. Eastwoods has a brush paint that is supposed to cure with heat and look like a new casting. Have heard good things but never used it. Congrats, niiice engine

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
Swapped the old 250 cube 6 & the attached toyota 5 speed, plus a disassembled 454 for a 28 Model A Tourer, thats mostly complete, tho fully disassembled.
We replaced the 250 & manual with a 350/700R4 combo over the past six weeks. |

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
Got the right side cab corner welded on, and started fabing up the left side. First time welding in a patch panel, i think it turned out good enough for the woman i date!

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
Put the bed, bumper, tag, and taillights on and went for a drive. Got one minor issue to work out, no rear emergency flashers, but all else works. I picked up a column mounted backup light switch on EBay so I'll address the emergency flasher issue when I get back under the dash to install that.
I have paid insurance for three years and bought three tags for this truck with out driving it so for now I just want to drive it, LOL. |
