Re: What did you do to your truck today?
As long as you got P/S those are great but trying turning the wheels in a tight spot with that steering wheel without P/S and you'll look like Popeye after awhile.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
Fellas,
Well this week end we finally got my Ole' One Bad Mamma Jamma '62 off the jack stands and blew off the dust and swatted some bats away.... We started to kill some cancer in a few areas. Figured it would be easier to take the windshield out....  I will update my Build Thread soon..... But I worked 67 hours last week and probably do the same this week. Little money....little time.... Well here is what we did so far: I will post a few for now ,cuz I'm wore slap out and tired. Take a gander: Thanks, One Bad Mamma Jamma

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
Nearly got the engine wiring harness completed. Everything under the hood is done now I just need to finish up the portion that runs under the dash to the PCM. I'll try to take pictures later this week. I also made mounts for the 95 camaro radiator and the new fuse and relay panel.

Took a load of grass clippings and tree branches to the dumps, giving me an excuse to wash the truck.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
You have to slide the engine forward to get the valve cover off or is there enough room?
