Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
1. Blasted and painted a set of horns I got from Danny. Installed and annoyed my neighbors with glee.
2. Completed 1st oil and filter change on my GM crate HT383. Surprisingly little iron on the magnetic drain plug. Filled with 30w diesel oil and a wix filter. Used traveller brand from tractor supply. Next oil change will use 5w30 synthetic.

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
Working on the wiring. I'm re-routing it so it's out of sight for the most part. That requires lengthening and some new connectors. Since most of my harnesses are in good shape and still pliable I might as well use them instead of buying new harnesses and cutting them up to lengthen. Also installed a relay harness for the headlights.

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
Started cleaning on a set of GM transport wheels I recently picked up cheap. Decided since 1 was more faded than the others they needed a touch up while I waited on tires to ship. And figured why not change it a little from normal black or white. Painted dodge granite crystal on a gamble and I'm digging the results so far. Think I did fairly well first time trying to clear coat wheels.

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
Great color.
Today I started cleaning up the under hood wiring and put a frame to bed ground on that was missing. Then I took each of the little ones out for a ride around town. Quote:

Headlight relay kit and some tailgate lettering. Really liking how CHEVROLET pops (lettering kit from LMC).

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
Finally had tires mounted on new wheels, vintage, old school look, but I like it.
Sorry for the lousy pics, but the weather was rough here today, rained very heavy!

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
Finished going thru the hydraulic system for my 4 wheel drum brakes. Did the rears couple of weeks ago. No issues except a lot of moisture and crud in the wheel cylinders and a worn star wheel on the adjuster. Finally got to the front ones yesterday. No leaking and really in good shape inside, no moisture that I could determine. But what a pain getting the wheel cylinders off. the bolts are almost behind the spindle frame. And looks like the drums are close to end of life. Linings like like new hoses are date coded 12-31-01 and in pretty good shape. Looking into a disc brake upgrade.

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
Drove it down the road to pickup some corn for dinner. Corn is sold roadside on the honor system. Sunflowers are starting to bloom.

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
That sure as shootin' ain't California! You'd find no corn, no money, no table, no shade and no cash box around here. And they'd probably throw the cabbage at passing cars. Of course, my nice little corner here, we just have crack heads.

New fuel line ran from gas pump up to carburetor with a in-line filter & the brass one. 66 Chevelle 2 barrel filter for it fit perfect.
Took the old line loose and found this. Gas was clogged up, it shut off and wouldn't stay running. I may need to do a tank cleaning in the near future. Also got the hub caps on the front wheels. ![]()

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
Oh yea, that orange looks great!
I finally got my speedometer dialed in after switching to a 700r4. Was way off to begin with, I guess the Astro van donor didn't have a stump puller rear end! Jim |
