What did you do to your truck today part II. - Page 35 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**Chevy Fleetside** · 06-23-2014, 12:01 AM

I loaded my sons bike and mine and drove it to a friends house in Lafayette Ca to install a ceiling fan and then go for a ride. OH yeah had to feed her too.

donthekawguy · 06-23-2014, 12:19 AM

Got the drivers side LCA, spring and spindle on. Had to drill out the holes for the bigger u bolts. All the hard stuff done! Tomorrow calipers new pads, dust sheild, new ruber brake lines. I found out I need to shorten my steering shafy about an inch but I'll get to that later.

How did you get the heaters? I want to do this also.

TJ's Chevy · 06-24-2014, 12:31 PM

Ordered a set of 6 Ross Racing custom pistons for my 292 I6 today. 6 pistons with rings and wrist pins. Specs:

Ross Forged piston

18 CC dish

.40 over

Piston weight 542 grams

These will give me about 9.5.1 compression. Also nice cause they're made for the stock rod length which means I can use stock rods. So..can't wait for them to show up!

Frizzle Fry · 06-24-2014, 01:22 PM

Thanks guys. Here are the heaters I went with.

I am quite jealous of you attending these shows.

Nicola suggested you find someone from the forums who is going, and attach yourself to the underside of their truck on the entry.

Maybe a bit like this....... like an illegal alien

Whoa that 4x4 rubs good! But you got him on both runs. Any times SLIPS? Or just for bragging rights

All just for fun. I could not get any traction off the line. Never did look at the speedo, hoping I would see it on the video but can't make it out.
Will definitely be going back in the fall.

**Chevy Fleetside** · 06-25-2014, 08:23 PM

took it to the muffler shop and now it is not blowing my ears out in the cab anymore. Sounds good at the back and quiet in the cab.

glos55 · 06-26-2014, 05:46 AM

schpeen · 06-26-2014, 08:44 AM
