Re: What did you do to your truck today part III
I ran out and took a couple of pictures. Disregard the excessive grease and the white lithium grease (stupid creaking spring).

Installed peep mirrors, driver and passenger (convex). Should have purchased convex for both sides.

Replaced the Raptor mufflers that came on the truck with a set of Thrush welded mufflers. Sound was a reason, but the big thing was I wanted the outlets to be symmetrical and I couldn't get a new Raptor to match the old one. |

Re: What did you do to your truck today part III
Finally got the new motor in, vacuum timed and adjusted carb. Got the transmission out of gear. Teed the vaccuum line. Couldn't wait to drive it so I took it to the monthly cruise night with my daughter.

Re: What did you do to your truck today part III
Project Fix-a-Leak.
Radiator started leaking around the top seam. The radiator did not look to be in the best condition so I replaced it with an American Eagle 2 row with 1 inch tubes. PO had homemade fan guard/shroud, so I replaced it with a 3 inch chrome unit. I also had a small oil leak from the back of the intake manifold. I removed the manifold and installed new gaskets. At the same time I installed cast aluminum valve covers and also a new distributor. Got it all finished up this morning for a Friday night and another Saturday afternoon cruise in. Test drive to town and back showed no oil leaks. ![]() ![]() |

Re: What did you do to your truck today part III
Working on cleaning up the paint, got the tail gate done. First time this has probably ever been done to this truck. Doesn't look to bad for 50 year old paint.

Re: What did you do to your truck today part III
I replaced the trailing arm bushings on my '66 with polyurethane. It really tightened up the rear end.

Re: What did you do to your truck today part III
Scraped out the flooring in my 66. Under the old rubber mats was what looked like tar paper that had baked into the floor. What a #@&% to remove.
Put down some Keep Cool insulation to quiet my tin can. Seems like a good product but after a few hours of using spray adhesive I can see why the other self adhesive products are more popular. At least it was only $60 for the 5x10 roll. I'll probably use dynamat or something similar for the inside of the doors.

So there isn't a pot of gold at the end of a rainbow... there's a C10. Just as well I suppose. Cool pic!

Re: What did you do to your truck today part III
got the trans mount made, able to attach to the t-bar cross member for the th400 and was able to have the engine and trans sitting in and supported by the truck for the first time! also couldn't resist slapping a few on the finished parts on the engine just to get a picture (and vision)
3" lowering spring in the rear to compliment the 2.5" drop spindles in the front.
