Re: What did you do to your truck today?
Looks like it might be the breather hose on the top fitting and it doesn't attach to anything. AMIRITE?

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
I actually got thee new mufflers put on last week. They are a lot quieter and will make driving it much nicer. Before and after. Doesnt sound much different on the vid I guess but it is worlds apart.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
Pulled the lights, grille, bumpers and mirrors off my 1966 C-10, prepping it for primer grey and then a coat of a light tan. Now, time for a wash and roughing up the old Dark Yellow paint.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
This actually happened about a week ago, but I bought my old truck back after 7 years!
66 GMC 3/4. Looks like it was stored in a time capsule. Seven years ago I put in a fuel injected 350 and 700r4. Doesn't run currently, so I took the opportunity to begin stripping ALL the wiring, as well as ordered a new computer system and wiring for it (Megasquirt to replace the stock ECU). Looking forward to continuing where I left off in College! |

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
Congrats on repurchasing your old truck, and in good condition. That's a real rarity. It certainly appears to be a beauty.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
Got four of the six bolts holding my SM318 tranny in removed. She'll come out this Saturday and get a good cleaning, a new throwout bearing, pilot bearing, and mounts. Have to have the clutch plate rebuilt (smear more "asbestos" on it) then hopefully she'll be purring like a kitten again.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
Mine got photoshopped thanks to McCoy AZ. I wanted to see what it would look like lowered and with chrome rims. I was originally thinking chrome center caps but now that I have seen the photoshop I am thinking it might look far more *****ing with chrome smoothies. Here are the original and the altered images:

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
Slapped on a set of 3 bar simulated knock offs last night. Not sure yet if they are an improvement or not. I guess time will tell:

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
I took my dog for a cruise and we ended up stopping at the Pavilions car show here in Scottsdale. It was my first time bringing a vehicle to a car show. There was so much vehicular eye candy. My dog and I had a great time walking around. He peed on a shrub right in front of the Ford display area. I had parked sort of out of the way myself and was surprised that my truck attracted people to look at it...especially considering all the other amazing cars and trucks. It was nice to see that people had an interest. The lettering on my doors seemed to be of particular interest.
I found out that the first rule of the Pavilions car show (and probably many others) is to park facing out. One of the organizers was chasing all around before he caught up to me. Oops. Rookie mistake. |

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
I replaced the stock door checks with those from a Jeep. I got tired of the doors whipping open on windy days or parking on a grade. I'm still getting use to the doors not opening quite as far as they use to, but I don't hate it. This article is a great step-by-step and describes how it changes the overall door swing. Junkyard Barbie charged $2 for the checks, so it was worth the cost, but I should have checked other Chevy's to see if they had stop checks that would fit the C10.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
...did the final mock up of the power window switch that uses the original window crank. Time to take it all apart again...
