Got the new heater hoses, core and cut off valve installed today. One more this finished.

I went over some rough train tracks today and my exhaust hanger broke. I found a broken lightbulb on the side of the road and used the filament to wire up my exhaust....

Time to put some bailing wire in my toolbox...

I made a redneck fuel pump block off plate for my 305 V6 and got my 64 GMC head lights working properly. Now for some night time cruising.

Well with the end of the road trip it's now down to the real work .

With all the front new and back together it's time to finish the rear . In an earlier post, I showed the rear axel in a lovely shade of yellow . After Rian had come over and helped me lift it into the garage , I got on with getting it all painted . That yellow had to go

The before picture of how it looked in the summer when I removed it

Sanded ready for paint

All painted ready to go back on

Back in the truck

I just need to sort out the rear brakes and get the rear drums painted . Then I can get her back on the wheels

jbgroby · 11-29-2015, 07:09 PM

Finally mounted the optional passenger side sun visor.

Needs more washers.

Adjusted my brakes (so many spider nests) and installed a fuel pressure regulator to adjust the flooding issues I was having with my Edelbrock carb setup. The truck has never run better.

You probably better put the reinforcement plate around those hose's or it might bust the tube 's where they are soldered.

dwcardfan · 12-02-2015, 07:57 PM

Finished exhaust and had frontend aligned.
