What did you do today not on your truck... - Page 51 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

72c20customcamper · 08-14-2021, 06:43 PM

Your right Tim. Do it right or don’t do it at all . Got the center section done now I’ll change out the seals and the bearings on the axles and get it back in .

LS short box · 08-14-2021, 09:33 PM

I changed out the front pads and rotors on my wife's 300 Chrysler today. Those caliper bracket bolts are crazy tight. Mopar must use some thing similar to red Loctite on the bolts. They turned hard all the way out.

Went to look at a few cars to flip, may keep the blue mustang. They also had 2 60s C50s that I'd love to have but I don't have the space to store them or a way to transport them home.

Hell with the mustang, whats the story on the TA? As a dedicated Camaro guy, I have not shame in my hatred for mustangs

The mustang is a Boss 302, so it's worth it for me. Trans am is a 79, auto with the 6.6 litre engine. My cousin thinks it might be a special edition so I've ordered a report from PHS to confirm that. Has some rust but really not too bad, the interior I think I can save minus the headliner.

Heck yea on both accounts. Don’t mind me, I’m just a shi talking SOB when it comes to certain things, I like to give mustang owners/lovers a hard time but my bark is much worse than my bite. There are several of them I have respect for. If it weren’t for the stang there would likely be no Camaro so I am grateful to Ford for that. Those Boss 302 cars definitely are worth snagging when you can. Hope you get it. That Trans AM looks awesome. I love the late second gen birds.

Got the stain on the interior sides of my tool chest (see two posts up). Wow, the fumes of that stain clobbered my bronchii! Guess I'll stain the exterior outside.

**davischevy** · 08-15-2021, 09:39 PM

I put some ribs on the smoker this morning, then got on the tractor and bushhog and clipped some weeds.

After I ate the ribs, I washed my 55.

LS short box · 08-15-2021, 04:48 PM

Went to the car show in St.Cloud MN today. About 500 cars. Swap meet was a bit smaller than years past. Car corral was much smaller than years past. All in all still a great day to wander around and look at stuff.

**Steeveedee** · 08-15-2021, 06:11 PM

Cut up the wood for an expansion chest for my carving tools. Got the interior sanded and am almost ready to stain and finish. I will finish the inside first, then assemble, then finish the outside. It's not all that big (2 drawers) and it would be tough to get my big ol' mitts inside to finish it after assembly.

**allchevy58** · 08-16-2021, 11:30 PM

Started fence on new property.

72c20customcamper · 08-20-2021, 07:41 PM

New service at the rental property. Electrician was going to postpone as his bucket truck fried the motor(Ford)but I said I’ll rent a boom and just take it off the bill he was fine with that

**Steeveedee** · 08-20-2021, 08:05 PM

Good move on your part, and he really should be fine with it, as he can get your job done now, as opposed to later.

72c20customcamper · 08-20-2021, 09:11 PM

Central Hudson never showed up to change from the pole to the house and put in the new meter. So now it juiced up but no meter

Free electrons!

Sorry, physics joke.

Took a couple customers and played a round of golf. Playing a charity tournament tomorrow. Hope for some clouds in the a.m. to keep the heat down.

Thanks other Larry . I have some new lenses coming also , just...waiting... on a back order.

**3757chevy** · 08-21-2021, 08:12 PM

I also nominated my '35 in the Truck of the Month. https://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/...d.php?t=825011

**FleetsidePaul** · 08-22-2021, 12:56 AM

I made green Habanero salsa and some red salsa. Better fasten your seatbelt for the green one. My friend is going in for cataract surgery and he likes brutally hot sauce. My wife is driving him to the doctor. She said lets make him a good meal and make it hot. Not a problem for me. I can make it hotter than a stolen pistol. We're going to have some good tacos.

I couldn't do much outside. The smoke from the fire is thick today. It's gross. It stinks. But at least the fire is burning away from me.

I guess that I shouldn't complain. I wasn't evacuated. Some of my neighbors were. I feel for them. I've been there. You never know if anything will be there when you get back. You have to do it but it's very hard to walk away from your home.

I agree I've had to evacuate several times. It's very scary! I've been lucky this year so far.

**Stocker** · 08-22-2021, 09:51 AM

We've been lucky so far also. Smoky but the fire is holding a few miles from us. Depending on weather, it can cover that stretch in a matter of hours. Been on pins & needles for several days, living out a suitcase while at home. Only had to evacuate once, many years ago.
