Cleaned, primed, painted and bolted on my flexplate. Cleaning, painting and mounting the starter tomorrow am..

My first try on this

hardwaycooke · 08-15-2014, 10:00 PM

Got my block back from the machine shop. Started prepping for clearancing. Also got some porting done.

Red Tractors · 08-15-2014, 10:58 PM

Today I gave up on my cab on the '71 Cheyenne, I went to pull it off to replace the floor supports and discovered the entire top of the A-pillar was rusted out and gooped/filled. Bondo can hide a lot of evil work.

With the entire floor gone, inner and outer rockers and all four supports shot, the cowl rusted and now a big chunk of a-pillar/window frame/drip rail trashed I am moving to plan B. I have a '70 Cab we patched up I was saving for a future project.

Sounds like a good plan~

Sounds like my truck. I had to replace pretty much everything.

First work I've done on the new 66 since I got it last week, changed the oil, oil filter - it was dirty! Then just popped in a new air filter to replace the one that was crushed, was going to do a differential fluid change but luckily I realized they gave me the wrong gasket before I unbolted everything. Cleaned up the engine area a bit, then just spent a few hours under the truck trying to learn more about it.

**DaHos** · 08-17-2014, 08:24 PM

Finished up this little gem...

Econman · 08-17-2014, 08:37 PM

I almost finished the disassembly of my TH350. But got to the low-reverse spring retainer and didn't succeed in getting it out without the proper tool.

9teen69 · 08-17-2014, 10:13 PM

Really nice work on the column! Need to get mine done...jealous.

jacob822 · 08-17-2014, 10:51 PM

Fabricated and test fit my new gauge mount setup. Should be straight and mounted tomorrow.also got my temporary stereo deck mounted.

MercRising · 08-18-2014, 03:28 PM

Pulled the extra tanks out ...for now! They need some work as you can see. The bolts are rusted to the tanks and would not budge! A busted elbow and some grinding took care of that though, and out they came!

Econman · 08-18-2014, 08:26 PM

I took my tranny to a local trans shop to have them take the low-reverse piston out. On a promise I'd take it back to get bushings put in when my rebuild kit comes, he didn't charge me a dime.

Went home and started cleaning... 3.5 hrs later.... :-)

Well, since you don't object, I went in for a little more P-Shop. You can probably tell why.

:lol

slowcpe · 08-19-2014, 12:14 PM

Changed/cleaned out my fuel filter last night. This is after maybe 100 miles. Good thing I put a filter between the tank and pump. Just trying to limp this thing along (rarely driven) until I get everything for my motor swap.

texasld · 08-19-2014, 12:16 PM

Holy S#!T That's crazy!!!

I'm not fooling with this tank, which is why I put the filter in. Its quick and easy to clean out with its replacement filters. Didn't think it get that dirty this quick though.

I already have this

to go with this
