What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter

[OregonNed]

Mine is back in the shop today that did the rearend rebuild and gearing upgrade so they can fix the whine/howl they ended up with last time. Adjustment of pinion or backlash is off. Can't wait to get it resolved for two big truck meets that are coming up here in Washington.

Final touches on my 71 Cheyenne interior. I used 1972 doors, door panels refinished in Rustoleum “Chestnut”, I Re wrapped the Deluxe woodgrain door inserts, Dark Saddle ACC carpet, Truck World Cheyenne Super Saddle seat upholstery, Deluxe gauge package with tachometer, GM tilt steering column, Comfort Grip Sport steering wheel. Cheyenne Super glove box door treatment.

3rd picture is what the interior used to be.

Dropped . Also got a surprise changing out the ball joint went with the cheap Duralast instead of the TRW unit since I plan on adding discs and would have to change them again anyway . Well surprise I took out the ball joint and it was wrapped in TRW badging .

I gave mine a bath. It rolled out of the shop for the first time 30" lower and in only 56 days. Still need the mufflers and the wood reinstalled. Some how I lost the sill plates in this ordeal.

Have you done a post on that tilt front end yet?

Pop the hood, climb over the radiator and be all crunched up working on your engine...naw, just tilt the works and stand beside the engine.

I think this old guy would appreciate that.

You could even use the front wheel as a chair.

After recalibrating the POA, I charged the AC on Mean Green with 134A.

I took momma for a test drive and everybody is happy.

I used the 17x40s as chairs abd now i can sit on these little one just the same.

The tilt, had it for 40 years just to find the engine with the lift. Now I can trip over it. The door handles will be next. You can see my 70s 3 turn TA steering box in this picture. I did that before "IDIDIT" was even a name. linked it to a 70s Eldorado telescopic tilt and added a corvette wheel, all in the late 70s. Even the power brakes is out of a 76 K20. Back then we made stuff work.

Put a Mr. Gasket insulator between the manifold and Quadrajet. It was too cool yesterday to know if this cures the hot idle problem.

[Chris_oz]

Put on a new seat cover, which meant removing the seat, all the floor coverings (original black rubber mat) cleaning the whole thing, installing some sound insulation (dynamat type product)
Then put it all back together.

I have also recently replaced the original quadrajet with a 1978 build unit with APT. Put a kit through it from Cliff R, set it up as stock and also did an electric choke conversion.
Truck has never run better.

Finished all under hood wiring on the LS swap. Attention now turned to getting a/c connected with ls compressor, and switch to accumulator/orifice tube/r134a.

[body bolt]

Replaced the fuel pump and installed a phenolic insulator along with it.

[cab4word67]

58 days, almost done bringing her down to the weeds, Sure looks good. Still need to adjust the hood some.

[KQQL IT]

New tint and new rubber gasket.
The lower corner wasn't as nice as I'd liked.

[allchevy58]

Took hood and fenders off to install front fender seals, cleaned up mess from wet sanding truck. Going to get the new windshield and back window installed while there off. Less chance of scratching cowl, hood or fenders.

GM sure put on fine vinyl products. 50 years, sometimes the best storage place is on the truck, though I do keep it covered.

[Already Gone]

Well didn't do it today but took my virgin small block 400 and its crankshaft for machining last week. Getting annxious to get it together and in my truck. Also took valve covers and oil pan for a deep cleaning.

Cool..I just called the machine shop so I can take my 350 in ..I pulled it out of my 72 Blazer. As soon as this one is done I will rebuild the 350 in my C20 long bed. Just need to pull the cam and lifters

[67C10Step]

Got my Boyd’s tank and accessories delivered today. Could not help myself but to do a quick fit test. Will try to mount it up this weekend.

[cab4word67]

Just picked up mine from Custom Differentials in Bloomsdale, MO. Jeremy's team upgraded my 12-bolt open diff 3.08 to a 3.42 posi. No more whine and now 2-wheel peel! The old pinion bearing was heading south in a hurry. I can now hear myself think while cruising down the interstate. I also needed new axles. Tomorrow I'll pull the speedo cable on the 700R4 and see what driven gear is in there since my speedo is fast by about 15%. Per the rule, add 1 tooth for every 5% difference if the speedo is faster than actual. Thanks Jeremy!
