Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
Started to work on removing corrosion and cleaning up the original wheels. In case I actually decide to use them. I finished getting all 5 and the friction rings cleaned up and in primer. Waiting on flaps to arrive from Coker. Then I have to decide if I actually want to use them.

Nice! One of my current "wants" are slotted wheels like you have. They look great!

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
Changed the accelerator pump, spring and air horn gasket on the Quadra jet. It eliminated the slight bog in the beginning of the throttle.

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
I siphoned about 15 gallons of old gas out of my tank. For reasons out of my control the fuel will be 2 years old by the time I get it running again this fall. Pulled the sending unit and it looks like it is fairly new. Also pulled a stick out of the tank....must have been kids.

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
Before I put the sending unit back in I pulled out a valve stem cap....would love to know the story on how it got there.

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
I am very jealous of this! I wish I could just get the tires mounted on mine. No one wants to touch the friction ring wheels. I am calling another company today that deals with tractor trailers. They said the old timer that does them was on vacation last rime I called.

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
New cab bushings installed. Nothing torqued to spec yet because I have it up on jack stands with the entire front end out. Want to wait until I get it back on the ground to line it all up.
Wire wheeling, blasting, and painting A frames and stuff waiting on my disc brake kit with drop spindles to arrive.

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.

They look good. I may paint the rally's on my Elkie that color.

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.
