Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
FINALLY got our 1949 engine jerry-rigged onto our engine stand! Can't wait to take it apart, clean it, and get it running again

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
Looks good crossfire84 with BB thier should be no shortage of torque or power. I live about 100 mi. north of you and found if I work with doors and windows closed fan running at floor level the humidity and heat isn't as bad.

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
Scored a Presmog Qjet off a running truck for $30, it even came with the choke heat dog house (that I bought for my Chevelle for $20). Cleaned it up and will install tomorrow. This replaces the one I had put on it, but pulled when the Chevelle Holley went Tango Uniform. Also figured out the AC, just need to get a couple of bulkhead fittings and I can get the hoses done and the unit installed.

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
It's 96 here, still too hot to do any outside work but I did get my radiator overflow tank installed. This tank is out of a Ford van (can I use that word here, LOL) I just wandered around Pull-A-Part until I saw one that looked like I wanted. It fits good and only took a couple of "L" brackets to bolt it up. I also got a windshield washer bottle and pump out of an S-10 but haven't installed that yet.

Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?
I am planning on looking at the truck through the kitchen window while drinking iced tea. Too blasted hot out and looking for 106 today in S Indiana. I did do some bed wood work this morning from 7-8:30.
