What did you do to your truck today!

[magwakeenercew2jh]

I'm not a big fan of stick on stuff. But I found these letters in my parts stash while I was looking for something else.

I'm headed to the striper's tomorrow. He'll probably wring my neck for sticking these on. Hell, this ain't no show truck.
And, I already had 'em. So, I stuck 'em on.

Got the radiator out!

Next job is to replace the frame-to-cab and radiator core support bushings and install my new radiator. HOWEVER, I'm now considering replaceing the whole core support and inner fenders due to all the rust.



Core suppor and fender rust (same on both sides).

I have stainless trim on my windshield seal too. It took me almost a month and three glass guys before the windshield finally went in. It was the most frustrating part of my entire build.

replaced the donut gasket between manifold and pipe with the help of a little heat ( fought it for a few days with just pb blaster) then I removed the giant step bumper and drilled some holes to mount the plate to the truck. it sounds so much better when the exhaust is coming out of the back instead of from the engine bay

Kind of a big day for me. First "Long Run" of only 50 miles.
To take RAT to the pinstriper.

Only one casualty on the way. A windshield wiper blade blew off. I knew that crap plastic connector was cracked....What do you guys and gals run?
I can't seem to find anything substantial to hook on to the wiper arms.

This'll be the last pic with no pin-stripes. Got the mirrors on, and a couple of clean-up items.

Ran fine all the way. 3:07's with the 350/350 combo gave me 2200 RPM at 64 mph. Of course, I'm running the 20's...so..........?????

CLR+Scotch Brite+Meguiars Wax= Happy Patina Truck....

Obviously, I just waxed the front clip at this point...



Looks 100x better than the 10 years of grime it came with...



For fun...

Pulled my TBI off and did new gaskets, o-rings, filters, regulator gasket, and regulator spring. Truck still wont start. Back at it tomorrow, I'm thinking I've got issues with how much fuel pressure I've got. Everywhere online says I need 13 psi and my new fuel pump claims to be 10-14 psi. I think a fuel pressure gauge is next on the list.

Well since the Acc.Pump throttle brace broke I'll be getting this to fix it ....

The LMC exhaust came in yesterday. Tonight I started trying to install the head pipes. Each section has a label with the respective location such as "left downpipe" or "right tail pipe". I started with the right head pipe (passenger side in my book) and there was no way it was going on. The bend angle was all wrong. I gave up and tried the left (driver) pipe. Same issue. I wondered to myself if they mislabelled them, so I tried swapping them. BINGO! Like a glove! Intermediates were mislabelled as well, but at least they were consistent! I will need to cut the intermediate pipes down since the kit is for a lwb or swb and i have a swb. I also plan to buy some of the tailpipe pookie sealer stuff before permanent assembly. Debating on whether or not to use the pipe clamps on the joints or mig weld or both.

Big question everyone on the stock Rochester 4BBL Carb, is there a plastic Vacuum Advance, because mine has a slight crack on it

Finished installing a goose neck hitch in my 72 C20

[Pole Kitty]

I had some dust installed yesterday and some more coming in today. I think it's going to be like this until I sell it.

I looked at my still loaded truck in SWMBO's garage and wished Joey hadn't worked too hard and broken two of the screws in his spine so he wasn't convalescing from yet another back sugery and I could go borrow the towable cherrypicker and get the 292 out of my truck so I can begin working on it and working my trcuk again...

I have a 150 # Moto that needs to go to the CHP for VIN inspection to - day and I can't find anyone to truck it there for me ,I might have to rent a U-Haul pickup else I'll have to push it 5 miles each way in this dang heat.....

Yes , I am whining again , I'll stop now .

Wet sanding and polish (cut-n-buff) is a PITA! I'm doing that now also. Don't kill yourself if you have some burn through...you might, I did/do. Anything can be fixed...I hope.
