Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
Must suck to have snow, It's a good thing I live southern Ontario Canada, we don't have any. So I spent the day in the shop. New LED bulbs in 5050K color is perfect. Doesn't need a dimmer looks just right.

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
I changed out the door lock cylinders with new ones so that my doors could actually lock. Before the rain hit here I was also able to install the new repo wiper arms and wipers along with my parking brake handle

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
Not today but recently...
Started her up, moving out of garage she dies... Cranking but no start condition. Check and she is getting fuel. Check spark, Non-existent. Check coil and windings are both primary and secondary are open circuits. Pull spare coil from tool box in bed, install coil and she starts right up. Seems to run better than late in the season last year so the coil was probably going bad with an intermittent stalling issue. Bill

I'm making a new horn cap for the ramp truck. I have a corvette steering wheel I'm using and the hub, it's the same as the comfort grip wheels basicly.
But I am doing a custom horn button for it. Still need to paint the ring though. Haven't decided what color yet. ![]()

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
Does anyone know what year GM started putting the flat boss on the cab for the courtesy light switches? My 70 has them.

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
New rims and tyres.
Wheel Vintiques 16 x 6 for the front, 16 x 8 for the rear. 215-85 r16 and 265-70 r16 tyres. Rides so much better than the out of round 16.5" that were on there. Just need to drop the rear about 4" (maybe more) My Disc brake and drop spindles also arrived, I checked it for clearance on the 16 x 6 rim (4" backspace) it is fine. They will go on very soon, along with a new booster, master cylinder and proportioning valve from CPP. |

Installed the carpet, three point seatbelts and put the seat in finally! Three years almost, sitting on an apple box.

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
Dad's72, I unbolted it piece by piece because I don't have good place to store the assembled doghouse inside. If you can just remove the hood and front bumper, and unbolt the fenders from the cab, it is much easier, however, you will need some extra muscle to move the whole thing after it's unbolted. My garage also has an 8' ceiling, so I built a frame out of 8' 4x4 posts and used a come-a-long to remove the engine. I unbolted the trans first and removed that separately, as the wooden frame would not support the weight of the big block and TH400 trans together. Here is a pic of the frame I built.

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
New hood hinges, the others were shot and even had bolts instead of rivets in a couple spots. That little tool they sell to pull the springs made it easy (plus the college football player is home for a couple of days so I cheated). Also pulled the RH inner fender and the heater box. Some PO had the heater core in upside down, goofy ground wire installed wrong, only half the bolts holding it in as well as a HUGE mouse nest on the inner portion. Also unbolted both exhaust manifolds and found those bolts loose with gaskets behind the ram horn manifolds. Well, at least putting in the correct plug wire stands, shields and new plugs will be way easier!

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
Nothing to the truck today but I did hang this wall art up in the garage. Got it at the Home Show the wife drug me out to yesterday. Wasn't too bad after all.

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
Started the teardown to hopefully get this puppy painted soon. I'm going to hate not being able to drive it for a bit. But it will be worth it in the end.
