Re: What did you do to your truck today?
the fuel line busted and was spraying fuel out at about 15 psi
i guess the starter sparked when i tried to start it and the passenger side of my engine bay was up in flames i immediately killed the fuel pump and ran for the fire extinguisher it took two of them the only damage it did was burn the battery cables and the whole engine bay is covered in dust from the fire extinguishers

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
disassembled my newly acquired SWB Fleetside bed. built an engine stand for my also newly acquired 283 to sit on. Otherwise, the 5 million degrees in the shade drove me back in the house. I am sure i won't be getting much done until around Oct when it begins to cool off some.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
Finally got to see her again! It has been a few weeks since I was last at my shop, so I drove out there today and paid her a visit. Didn't have anytime to spend with her, but I have been collecting a few essential power tools I have been years without. Now I think I have what I am going to need to get the parts truck disassembled and ready for the scrap yard. Should be some more progress coming soon...

I started looking for doors, fenders and hood in 1997, just got these last year..even out here in Ca these things are rare, and these are far from perfect, they had some pin holes here and there along the bottom, I used Por15 and filled them, I scored these from the most rusty truck I ever saw, go figure...another member here has the cab and is using it for a crew cab build |

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
I removed the bed end I messed up last weekend when I backed up and hooked it on my metal fence. I pounded on it for a while until I got bored with it. Nonhog & I swapped it over to HEI last weekend. I think I'll go out and broaden my plug gap from .035 to .045.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
I finally got all of the rubber weather strip installed in the passenger side door today, so now both sides are finally done.
bleh. However, the vent window does not want to seat just right at the top, so I have to fudge with it to make it close. I'm not sure what the deal is there yet, I'll have to keep messing with it I guess. -W |

Cleaned about two tons of pine needles from underneath the panel body - prepping for reassembly.
