Picked up my CL $50 hood from the bead blaster and got it in primer for a block sand to find any areas that need work.

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II

Drove to the vet. Drove to the grocery store. One grocery worker took a pic.
He asked if he could. Nice.

Went to another store (the first one didn't have what the boss wanted, I guess).
Had a nice conversation with a guy from France who was going to visit Yosemite.
HE asked if he could take a pic !!!!!

His friend came out of the store. He asked me something my basic (and poor)
French would not "compute". I finally figured out that he was asking if *I* had
them put the year of the truck on the plate.

I said, "yes" and, "Bon Voyage". Then HE asked if he could take a pic.

Three pics in one trip. That was nice.

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II

I worked on assembling my short block. Despite a few frustrations, I was happy that I could begin..

The machine shop screwed up, though.. They zero decked my block which is not what I asked for and they will get that ear full on Monday.

Post Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II

To - day's plan is to use the borrowed cherry picker and get my new 292 up on the engine stand so I can return the borrowed picker , his tranny blew up so he needs it back to yank his driveline .

I can't seem to get my son or brother to help out so it'll be interesting as I have a broken back and neck but I imagine it'll go fine , I'll just work slowly and *very* carefully .

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II

Today's installations:

New oil pump and pickup
New 5-quart oil pan using a one-piece seal
New Summit ProStreet 8" harmonic balancer (PITA!)
My refurbished/painted crank pulleys
New fuel pump and pushrod

Cleaned up my tools, put them away and bagged the engine while I wait on my new head gaskets from Jegs. Now, it's 5 o'clock somewhere!
