No particular reason. I smoothed down some gouges and then cleared the knobs. It turned them shiny. Hopefully it will last. They were some extras I just picked up. I may take some pics today when I get home so you all can tell me what you think.

mmmBoost · 03-09-2011, 07:08 PM

installed my power steering box and cross link. Found out the tie rod ends I have are all wrong. So back to the parts store. Recieved My wiring harness from EzWiring.

C10_ustacould · 03-09-2011, 07:12 PM

I bought a cab! It is a '71 A/C cab and the first major piece of the puzzle for me. I am stoked!

Sicklajoie · 03-09-2011, 09:02 PM

Put some 1 inch spacers under the rear coils to put a little rake in her.

Otsa580 · 03-09-2011, 09:12 PM

Spent way to much time next to the air compressor sand blasting a set of rally wheels.
Hopefully paint will get sprayed tomorrow so I can mount my new to me 31x10.5 BFG All Terrians.

67Slider · 03-09-2011, 09:26 PM

Alright here they are....

a few quick coats of Clear Rustoleum Engine Enamel. 500degree heat resistant, gas and oil resistant. So my greasy finger won't break the clear down.

Again, Why? ...... No idea

PatrickGMC70 · 03-09-2011, 10:26 PM

I rebuilt my carb. I'll say this: I was terrified about taking this thing apart, but it really wasn't that bad. I just took a lot of pictures and took my time. Having done it once, I feel like I could probably put the thing together in 20 minutes now.

So, if anyone is on the fence about tearing into one of these, DO IT!

Cleaned snow off her for the second time this week. Sat in the seat, rubbed the dash, and told her spring would be here soon..... Waiting for ball diamonds and beer. (Welcome to Ontario in the winter)

Mxracer202 · 03-10-2011, 05:27 PM

blowing off my girlfriend to go home and finish up putting together the 292 I6. Nothing major just replacing the plugs and gaskets, then going to measure for the new radiator hoses get the original motor ready to be taken out.

*stich626* · 03-10-2011, 09:57 PM

They were 73 stock spindles. Installed in 2007, and I know my truck doesn't have over 600 miles on it since the install. Only thing I can think of is I did not have enough bearing grease. Other than that, I dont have a clue.

Should be ready by the end of the day to make the CPP cruise tomorrow.

What a bummer! Been there! I missed out on Perth and Tasmania because some cousin to Saddam Hussein was being stupid and we got extended in the gulf.

Be safe

greasemonkey71 · 03-11-2011, 03:26 PM

could be worse i guess..

we were actually in port and they recalled the entire ship about 3 hours after lib call went down

...lots of angry drunks

im on watch right now so i never actually got off the ship and i saved myself a few hundred $$$ on beer and other crap so i bought some parts

67Slider · 03-12-2011, 12:11 AM

Got off work today, got home and me and the niece went for a cruise. Ran Great! 71 degrees today!

60ratrod · 03-12-2011, 12:39 AM
