Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
....more stripping.... Im thinking that when I get to the bed Im gonna get some paint stripper....
The cab is completely stripped except under it and Ill get that when we lift it off the frame. The right front fender is ordered. Once I get my "after Christmas bonus Ill order the cab corners and inner rocker patches and the lower inner left side door patch along with the bed front. Still deciding on doing the wood bed floor or not.

I realized it's unlikely I'll get my 292 overhaul finished before the paint Jail needs a drive line to install so I hoisted the old 250 CID i6 onto an engine stand and began stripping it down and cleaning the engine and all those ding dang brackets.....
Whew , I'm tired and still have lots to do plus I need to find a pair of those side plates that fit 194/230/250 engines ~ this engine has chrome covers and i want stock .

Got the frame back from being water blasted, taking front and rear suspension, related parts off of the frame.

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
Started pulling all the salvageable parts off of the ol' 283. Opened her up, found out she's a very dirty girl.

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
I had a company blast the frame with high pressure water and small particles of glass. This process is an alternative to other medium blasting such as sand or soda blasting...clean as a whistle!

That 283 is *very* clean ! .
Dirty engines have packed in gooey crap you have to scrape out with a spatula . To - day I worked a bit more on my old 250 i6 ~ I found what I think are rebuilder's tags , one on the back of the cylinder head , another in a welch plug on the left side of the block . Everything was going O.K. , I was scraping off old crispy paint , then i wire brushed it a bunch then I tried to roll the engine a few feet for the next application of degreaser when CRASH ! the ding dang El Cheapo three legged engine stand tipped over , dumping my engine onto the cement driveway ![]() The chrome rockerbox is now all bashed in , too bad but I didn't like it anyways and was going to give it away . I hoiseted the engine and stand back up and cleaned some more , this thing is going to look really spiffy when I'm done with it .

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
Got a sand blast cabinet for christmas, put it to work on blasting and coating parts. Check out the how-to I just finished to see how you can do it in your garage. http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=654423
Here are some pictures. of my progress.

Haven't done nothing but watch it snow on it. Wish mine was a 4x4 I would be out playing in the snow in it!

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
Actually been over the last few days but, began Vintage Air install. Much more difficult than I was expecting, and just when I thought I was making headway I found out they sent me the wrong compressor mounting bracket. They did agree to send out the proper one but I'm still on hold for another week.

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
Converted my ol 68 C10 inline 6 cylinder from points ignition to an HEI set up. It runs so much smoother and better now. Finally got rid of that stumbling issue that popped up every now and then.
