Re: What did you do to your truck today!
Ordered a new front stepside bed panel,epoxy primer and a used set of deluxe side markers! the rest of the bed i nearly done getting media blasted and looks good, cept for the tailgate is a little ruffer than it appeared after blasting it. i guess that can easily be swapped for a better one at a later date. Hot Rod Black Satin showed up this week along with the new poly trailing arm and track bar bushings! still gotta few parts to round up yet but this will get things rolling!

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
Tinkering with some spare parts. A little semi gloss black, some satin burgandy and a silver paint pen makes a big difference:

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
Thanks. My Interior is black and burgandy so I thought I would give it a try. I had these as extra. I think I will pull out the one I have in the dash and work it over. It's in a bit better shape. I was just curious to see how it would look. I think it took me about 10 minutes total time to get it to look like this.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
Installed some ball joints and some upper control arm shafts. That was enough for a day I get lazy since I work on cars all day for a living.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
Both freeze plugs in the front of my SBC in my 1972 GMC have been leaking for over a year. First time I have ever had any leak. Sooo... I had to dismantle the front to beat both of them out, and beat new ones in. Removed radiator and water pump and pullies. Loosen P/S pump and slide it all the way outboard. Now i'm into the reassembly... what a PITA.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
Just replaced the front shocks. Must've been the original shocks that I took off. Unbelievable! This thing must've drove like a brick. The old shocks didn't move a bit when I compressed them after I took them off and the rubber was completely shot. The PO of this poor truck never did a damn thing to maintain her.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
Worked on getting my ignition timing so the engine will start, run, and idle with on problem. This has been an ongoing problem with this engine.
91 TPI that was switch to a carb. Runs great @12deg btdc, but hard to start. At 4 deg, it ran good, but did not seem strong. Already tried the SBC Timing Link in the Engine section. Think I need an MSD 6AL box for a hotter spark. |

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
I cant really drive mine but..
Shovelled about 2ft of snow off of it and pulled the QJet so I could replace the primary pulloff and setup the secondary tension. I rebuilt the carb and couldnt figure out why the hell it was so hard to start - apparently the pulloff has a small spring on it to keep the primary butterfly closed at startup, When it got cold it took two people to start it.... should run llike a champ now. I love these carbs but I think every single one Ive seen or had is different. Thank you Quadrajetparts.com ! |

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
I finally got the right torque converter, and man, what a difference that baby made.
That, and I got my tranny built to handle the power the motor is pushing. I'm not sure how much that is, but it's a 355, and I have a TH350 and 3.08 differential, and I can smoke the tires on the highway at 67mph... it was freaking AWESOME too!
