We'll see after I start it.

watahyahknow · 02-03-2012, 01:23 PM

wat you could do if it gives problems is dril and tap the T for one extra hole and mou8nt one of those central heating burb thingies they mount on radiators , the one with the little key to open it up

Strodder · 02-03-2012, 10:54 PM

I could just loosen the top sensor, or drill a small hole and tap it for a screw and a seal. Then it could be bled. But that's worse case scenario.

Fail to plan plan to fail.

Any idea what size of fitting is used on the low pressure side of a 84 s10 steering pump?

SSchevimp · 02-20-2012, 12:28 AM

I love that 57 nomad... that was my screen saver Years ago, that was the style i wanted my wagon

57truckguy · 02-25-2012, 02:41 AM

Strodder · 02-28-2012, 12:26 PM

Welllllllll, I have a good excuse for not getting anything done on the truck. I went in for carpal tunnel surgery yesterday. It will be 6 weeks before I have to come up with a better excuse. :ha: :ha: :ha:

Seriously???

I have been following this thread since before I joined this group in October of 2010.... I really want to see this cool old truck done.
Tell you what.. I will come on over this summer and give you a hand since yours are kinda banged up..

Really, I don't mind. Working in a clean shop on cool cars is a sacrifice I am willing to make.

watahyahknow · 02-28-2012, 12:56 PM

better stay away from that computer or buy a special mouse

just kidding must be from all that hammering on the metal

daverod · 02-28-2012, 01:11 PM

Wow I bet that feels different. Kinda like a mummy fetiish.

That really sucks though. Being old must really suck.

Should I start saving up for my operation now or just wait? Heal up fast.

Strodder · 02-28-2012, 01:41 PM

I have to get the left one done next, then my torn rotator cuff. Yes it's a ***** getting old.

padresag · 02-28-2012, 02:05 PM

just a tune up, is all that it is, just to get you prepared for the next 30. that awaking at about 4:00 am pain in the arms is the ****s isn't it. I need the same things done.'I have an upholsterer friend whose wrists were killing him(same age as us); changed his diet. no more wrist problems. he did get a new lady in his life, perhaps that fixed it???????????????. perhaps that little blue pill has something in it!!
