Re: What did you do to your truck today!
I removed my saginaw 4 speed and tried in install a T5. I ran into a small problem with the clutch disk, I had bought an 11 and actually need a 10 inch clutch disk. I will start over next Saturday!

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
i hear that the chrome ones have less of a life span since the chrome keeps the heat in more than the natural cast ones

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
Polished some chrome and did a compression test on the engine. All came out at 149 almost exactly. But I am still blowing a little smoke out the passenger side pipe when I romp on it.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
I got the itch to work on the truck today so I braved the cold and bolted down my new bed mounted tool box... I also did some repair to my heater switch plug... Next up on the to-do list is to install my Skip White HEI...

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
did a little more work on the replacement dash, wire wheeled the paint off, and cut out the radio hole. i offset the hole to the right because i am going to add a push button starter on the left side of it. i also might add a few other things as well but not sure yet, and i would have to figure out what exactly that would be first lol.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
not much of an update as of yet, but, just some messing around. took a pic of the current engine setup as i dont have a pic of that in here. i also pulled the springs out of the front to see how low it is. still need to finish the lower arms, and install bags and spindles, but i only have 3/4" before the arms hit the grond

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
Replaced inner and outer tie rod ends, upper and lower ball joints, and cut one coil out of the front springs. Tried my wipers and found that I had installed the linkage backwards. Had to take the cowl off and swap the pivot arm. Buttoned her back up and parked her in the garage. I had replaced my rear springs with Jeep TJ springs awhile back. I finally got around to measuring the drop and come to find out one side is 1.75 inches higher than the other. I guess I will fork out the 100 bucks for real drop springs. I should have known better but it sounded like a great deal(the TJ springs).

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
No, not that I can tell. I really don't know how it didn't mess something up. It does have 4 inches of snow on it so who knows.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
Thanks, Paul. I'm still covered. But that one was the most expensive I had. It took all of what I got for it for the Boss 338 20's. The "Little Woman" bought me tires for an early Valentine.

Put some red LEDs in the dash... I had already pulled it all apart and painted the inside a bright gloss white... they look good...
