Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
Painted my tailgate band. All the black paint came off the repops one. Too much tapping skills for me to do right but I think it looks fine.

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
Out local truck club is having a slalom course day at the Anderson Speedway in Anderson SC in three weeks. One of the safety concerns was if a battery feel over and shorted out due to exposed terminals. Well I took care of that today. I'm ready to go now!

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
Yea some of the guys went riding in the Mts. a couple of weeks ago and one our members battery fell over. That got us all to thinking.
I bought a $11.00 battery box and $3.00 terminal covers and fixed mine with a strap. It's nice and tight. And it can't go anywhere!

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
Radiator support mounts done, disassembled a little more, dropped off misc. to be powdercoated. Next, fix oil leaks, paint and detail engine and engine compartment.

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
Took tank back out, put in sender and EEC hose. The EEC hose was troublesome as 5/16 inch hose was too tight! 3/8 inch was the ticket.
Got the sender wire in behind the tank (behind the nozzle where I like it much better).

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
I had my parts delivered to my son at his business office and he brought them to the body guy. These are my rust issues all on one pallet, now to get them sorted and get busy!

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
I waited for part to arrive. Man this is getting old. Another weekend w/o what I need to finish my project and get my truck back on the road. If I had to endure "paint jail" like some of you all do, I'd go nutz

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
I figure it's the camera angle but I had to ask.
Your steering column looks like it's out of whack!

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
I installed some new springs to replace the old ones and I'm not sure I like it. Although the new springs are shorter than what was in there mostly due to age I'm sure, the ride height is up an inch or so. (Livable though) The new ones are HD 1/2 ton springs which are most likely c20 like in nature. Took it out for a cruise to see how it drove and it seemed more bouncy in back. I'm hoping a shock swap will settle the rear down somewhat. Truck is lowered with blocks but still see some hauling so I know I'll like the better level load capability of the new vs old worn out springs. Any good shock suggestions?

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
took delivery of this baby today. 2013 LC9 5.3l, needs a little love. But, the price was right.
The TR 6060 should be here next week. These LS motors love a little Heads & cam work. I think 450hp will due for now. |
