Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
Today I started the process of fixing the weep hole leak (when parking uphill) from my transmission. The vent tube up above is clear so I pulled the drive shaft And tail housing. From photos I’ve seen I expected to see some sort of inner seal or o ring but nothing present or much of a groove for one where the splines Start. I’m not even sure if mechanically that would seal the driveshaft yoke.

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
Spent the day at the media blaster. Of course no rain in the forecast yet I was dodging drops on the way back to the shop.

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
Got the bearing surfaces cleaned up on my driveshaft and yoke. Installed the tailhousing back on and waiting for new Spicer joints to arrive today. Should have a non leaking yoke now.

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
Today I am closing the door on my gear change project. Went from 3.07 to 4.11. Granny first gear used to have some value with my small travel trailer, but I'm afraid it is now rendered useless and starts in second gear will work fine. I will go from about 1700 rpm in fourth to a more reasonable 2400 rpm at 55 mph with my 33 inch tires.

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
Just stared at mine over the weekend to get an idea of what to tackle next. Wife got me a new set of body mounts for anniversary so that's on the list. Want to knock the front end out but waiting to order and get parts here first.
Did paint my old 5x12 utility trailer though. Not a great job but it is one color now.

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
I installed my new DUI distributor Sat. Put in new plugs gaped at .050 and readjusted the timing to 14*BTDC . Total advance is 34* at 2500rpm. Also changed the vacuum advance to ported and reset the idle mixture with my vacuum gage. Truck is more responsive now and just seems to run better.

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
I went and pulled the wheels off of my great grandfather's 70 stepside we have had in storage for years. Figured with being furloughed from work right now it gives me something to do. Had the tires removed and since 50 years is hard on the wheels I'm sandblasting and painting to freshen up. I've got some extra tires that hold air and will have them put on the put on the truck and load on a trailer to bring home. Fun project I've been looking forward to for a while and putting off almost as long.

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
Hoping to get the tires mounted by the weekend and bring the truck home. Truck is going to need a good bit of bodywork. It was the last vehicle my great grandfather ever bought and he left it to my sister upon his passing. She wasnt old enough to drive so dad bought it from her. He drove it until about 92 and parked it from a flat and needing carb rebuild.

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
No pictures, but I installed front disc conversion with power booster. New tie rods, upper and lower ball joints and stainless front brake lines.
Still need to adjust the alignment and get the leaks stopped! Bill

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
I've been up to my arm pits in the heater/ac parts lately. Cleaning and more cleaning. I made a trip to a jy today scouring parts trucks for things left I might could use. They're picked pretty clean and they haven't added any more 67-72 trucks in several years. It's getting harder to find used parts.

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
Replaced the grill emblem. The original was missing the center blue portion which I had a piece of cardboard with painters tape. It didn’t look bad but always kinda bothered me.

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
Painted my front inner fenders a couple days ago and mounted the driver's side and fender today. Worked on the right side wiring some and the starter heat shield. I would have been surprised if I bought one I didn't have to modify.
