Re: What did you do to your truck today?
Rollpan looks sweet.
With all ths snow and ice covering my truck, I was able to install my freshly painted small block, put my chassis together and throw the body on for a test fit. Talk about productive!!!

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
Thats the conclusion I`ve come to in the last 15 years, several cars I `ve worked on other than my own where people have had them set to ported, we`ve tried it both ways, some stayed the same some have switched, a lot has to do with all the other variables.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
Got my carb tuned...well at least good enough for now as a full tune up is in my very near future. It's holding about 19PSI @ 600-750 RPMs.
Installed a jeep door stop into my passenger door, was missing the nuts for the other one which I will need to get Thursday or Friday. Aside from that...I found out I actually have working backup lights!!! that was a pleasant surprise. Now if only I could get my parking lights to work, they work as turn signals but not as parking lights...go figure. <edit> speaking of the parking lamps...are they supposed to even function as parking lamps when the headlights are on or is it only for turn signals?

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
I couldn’t restrain myself any longer so I cleaned and polished my rear wheels and got them back on the truck. So for the first time in about 20 years it has 4 matching wheels. It’s weird how different the camera sees this paint depending on the lighting conditions. These photos were taken about 15 minutes apart from different angles, and I’ve made no color adjustments to the pictures:

I got my wide white walls put on my new wheels, and replaced the fuel tank sender since it broke off and fell into the tank!

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
just picked up a 66 Shlong bed, found out it has a 1968 327, new edelbrock 750, 3 on the floor, and a few extra parts to boot. Soooo, what I got done was: New HEI ignition, new 180 thermostat, and had the carb rebuilt(it had been sitting for awhile). I also replaced the master cylinder (still manual brakes) but plan on upgrading the brakes to power and the steering to power....

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
fairly cheap....lets say I got a good deal! Yes, the CD player is mounted there, but I got a new door. Im gonna build a bracket in the glove box so it looks factory. One of MANY plans!

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
Check their prices and what they offer as to plugs and ends vs EZ wire.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
It is hard to imagine WHY the PO decided to cut through the glove box door to put the radio in. It takes all types I suppose.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
At least the PO didn't cut up the dash..... count your blessings. Much easier to replace the glove box door than weld in patch panels and do the metal finish and body work to the dash.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
This evening, I adjusted my new Hella headlamps. These are H4 upgrades from rallylights.com and wow! I love being able to see at night.
I did the relay upgrade a couple years ago for the H6014 sealed beams. Since one burned out, I opted for the Hella lenses. Dave at rallylights has assisted me with all sorts of wiring solutions, for my BMW & Honda motorcycles and my previous truck, 1988 Dodge Dakota. I had the Hella headlamps in that, too, as the H4666 bulbs were probably the worst lamps from any factory. Last week, I replaced the window weatherstripping and door channel. What a learning experience. The factory manuals say to 'lube' the felt channel with gasoline. Not!! Silicone spray works just fine. I also installed a universal wiper washer pump, and placed it outside the cab, next to the master cylinder. I like working on my truck. It is therapy for me, and the electrics are more important to me than horsepower. AnlaufJohn
