Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
I made another adjustment to my caster and camber that worked excelent, Ground down my brake calipers and added a 1/4 inch wheel spacer so I could run stock rims with rings and moons. Then went on a trip to the beach,

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
Tried to R & R the Pitman Arm, ugh! Even the tool I rented will not pull it off. Years ago when I replaced the steering box the dang thing almost dropped off, now it wont budge.
Even ground down the out side of the arm at the shaft to get the tool to fit better. Progress yet no results. |

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
Got my truck (Homer) to start, stop, go forwards and backwards. Not far mind you (about 10') but under his own power none the less. Milestone after 8 long months of blood, sweat, and tears. Few grinding discs, and some welding wire.
 :met al:

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
Well despite I've had a bad sinus infection hitting me lately, I had something irritating me on my truck. So we all know the story if something's driving u crazy in the back of your mind what do u do, figure it out right! Well I was having a issue with my dome was staying on all the time! I traced wiring, headlight switch and so on. Well it turns out apparently/somehow the wrong bulb got put up in the cargo lamp housing and was grounding the dome light to stay on so, problem solved. Lol so while on this journey I decided I was making my cargo light that I never use into a 3rd led brake light so my next project is on......

I changed the gauges out in my cluster to the ones from a 76+ square body. I like having numbers in stead of letters

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
Yesterday was for my truck. I built a work bench with a shelf. Then ran the cable for the "clothesline" I built for my wife (aka parts hanger).
Today I started tearing into the inside of the cab. Finding the darnedest things, like a chuck key inside a duct hose. Couldn't tell ya.

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
I changed out the center support bearing and u-joints on a 2 piece drive shaft. FYI, an L6 with a 3 speed manual transmission driveshaft is 68-1/4" long from center u-joint to center u-joint. A SBC with a 3 speed manual transmission is 71-1/2 inches from center u-joint to center u-joint. Both C-10s with 127 inch WB. I also noticed on mine, the center spline has 2 splines pushed together so its impossible to put the center yoke on wrong. that was nice of them

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
Installed a new 150 amp chrome alternator and cleaned up some wiring under the hood on ol Samson. All those big electric fans, vintage AC, electric fuel pump suck some amps.
