Scored a power steering pump with brackets and pulley, P/S gearbox, crank shaft pully and hoses for $63 at the pick-n-pull. Now I've got to clean em up and paint them.

Degreased and painted my new(old) power steering gear box. Me and my 9 year old son spent the better part of two hours degreasing and cleaning, unitil he got bored and wanted to go play with the neighbor kid. I was surprised he lasted so long and he told me this was one of his "best days ever". I sure love that kid!

Finished my h-pipe and finished welding my exhaust up.

6772owner · 05-02-2011, 09:55 AM

Over the weekend, I cut out my old trans crossmember and installed the ECE piece, had to remove my exhaust (y-pipe back) and now cant get the exhaust back on.

Old

New

I also cleaned up the exhaust (and tip) and painted it where I "clearenced" it. Looks like for nothing... Im going to have to remake the exhaust I think, I hammered on it for awile and test fit it twice, but its still mashed against the crossmember... Oh well, it was too loud anyway, time for a real muffler...

Cleaned Up

Clearenced...

I also swapped out the fuel sender in my 67' for a 3/8" unit and started bending up new 3/8" aluminum line from the tank to the mechanical pump. The truck came from the PO with the smaller 6 cylinder fuel system (5/16" I think) and it seems to kill me on upper RPM's under load. At least Im hoping this is the problem, new intake, fuel filter, new sock (old sender now) and reworked carb havent solved the problem yet. Ill get some pics of it tomorrow.

Redneck-Mafia · 05-02-2011, 12:04 PM

I cut the rusted out roof off the truck and started adding the new one that I've been prepping and shaving the drip rail on for a few months!

Sometimes kids know exactly what to say.

ItsRandy · 05-07-2011, 02:36 AM

Installed my new rear shock relocator kit.

jhwkns · 05-07-2011, 05:46 PM

I took it to a car show. It was a fun day. There were a few old friends there that I hadn't seen in a while. On the way home, another guy in a real nice '67 short fleet and I cruised together for several miles.

One of these day's I'll run into another board member at a local show. It's pretty rare to see more than 3 or 4 of our trucks at an event out here.

**70cst** · 05-07-2011, 05:56 PM
