Re: What did you do with your truck today, take 2
ive had an oil pan that has a crack around the drain plug so it constantly "marks its territory " on my garage floor. found a good replacement at a swap meet for $10.00 so todays project is to get it installed. so far its going well.

Re: What did you do with your truck today, take 2
Still working on the motor swap. 1 step forward and 3 back. I was able to get 99% of everything button up'd yesterday. Unfortunately I bought a 3 bolt manual steering box and needed a 4 bolt (bolts for the sector shaft. splines are different between the 2). Other issue was no parts houses in atlanta had the correct fan belt, not even summit (3/8" x 51 or 52"). My cal-custom valve covers will be back from the polisher in the next couple of days, they are on their way back via UPS. Fingers crossed all will be done by Wednesday/Thursday (all depends how quick the manual steering box is delivered).
I can't figure out how to upload the last pic up load right side up. it's correct from the computer but goes sideways on the upload. (Pics are backwards from newest to oldest.

Re: What did you do with your truck today, take 2
Finished up polishing and painting my valve covers and installed them this evening (original 60's Cal-Customs). I spent way to much time sanding/polishing one of them just to decide it was a bit to much bling under the hood and should of just paint the fins to begin with. Disregard the air cleaner stud that's too long, it was trimmed to fit just after taking the picture.

Re: What did you do with your truck today, take 2
installed my original trans cross member. when I installed the power brake booster, the cross member didn't fit, so I used a universal tube type one. never liked the look of the fit. then I saw 1lowdakota's set up. he sent me pictures ( thanks much ) and I finished the install yesterday. fits great. now on to doing the exhaust system

Re: What did you do with your truck today, take 2
Installed magnetic trailer lights on the rear as temporary lighting until I put the bed back on. Now I can drive it with the new rear end and suspension.
Now I transferred a photo from my phone to this computer so I could post or attach it. I just can not get it done, help me. |
