oldblue1968chevy · 11-10-2011, 12:34 AM

mo carnage

oldblue1968chevy · 11-10-2011, 01:21 AM

Yeah, I wished it was something like the bumper, id be a chance to get a matching chrome front to match rear....

it was wierd, right before i heard the 'CRUNCH' i was plotting to put a ziptie on dads driveshaft before sis drove his truck

then CRUNCH I run to the window to look out, shes pulling forward and looking at me

Trying to fix a dipstick leak and got a copper oil pressure line today. Havent checked to see if its still leaking. Oh and put some new plugs in and upped the gap from .35 to .45

oldblue1968chevy · 11-10-2011, 01:31 AM

slick copper · 11-10-2011, 07:54 AM

That sucks about the grille. Looks like it can be beat out though. The Goose run better with the plug gap change or can u tell a difference? Pretty amazing how close that rustoleum paint is to the original.

oldblue1968chevy · 11-10-2011, 12:08 PM

Mmm, maybe a lil better acceleration. My manual called for HEI 350 to be gapped 45 so thats what I gapped the new plugs

Yeah the bed was painted 1 thin coat for 10 bucks lol

ps its not original, po painted over nice patina

oldblue1968chevy · 11-10-2011, 08:44 PM

think ifixed dipstick leak...gonna swap copper line for plastic tomorow and try to work on the big dent

50bomb · 11-10-2011, 08:47 PM

your lucky I have to replace both mine later cause someone drilled screw to hold them in place

drewskiren · 11-11-2011, 01:42 AM

I actually attempted to start a thread of this to honor the beautiful women with our trucks, but found out quickly that the site frowns upon that. Seems it causes problems and people thinking the wrong thing of it even if it's done tastefully. Oh well, guess we can slip one in here and there though in our build threads.

oldblue1968chevy · 11-13-2011, 09:54 PM

I showed her, she grinned (i think?) LOL

I fixed my senderunit/oil guage leak. Put a copper line in place of pos nylong/plastic took a 3 mile ride no leaks yet.

Ima scrap the motor and clean it nice and see where the rest of my leaks are (have bad feeling pan/rear main leaks).

Will go with 1 pc rear main felpro blue rubber next time (if there is a next time). Hopefully my trim clips come in this week and i'll get the driver side trim ALL on asap!

Mtn man chad thinks he has some DD trim he'd get rid of. Whats the correct style/colors for a 68 low optioned truck?? Did come with side trim though.
