Re: What did you do to your truck today!

Over the last few days, I installed a new quick ratio steering box, new power steering pump and a set of March pulleys, oh, and a Zoops power steering pump bracket.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!

I haven't got much work done on the K10, sorry guys. I got busy with a transmission swap in my Monte Carlo. Hope to get the SS all sanded down and primed this weekend, then back to the Blazer gas tank install

Loaded a winter's worth of dead tree limbs, then proceeded to get stuck in the mud!

Re: What did you do to your truck today!

Finally took the cab ALL the way off of my frame so I can start the body work. Got all of my pulleys shimmed and lined up. Stuffed my dip stick and tube in my transmission. Fell off a ladder. Cleaned up my garage.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!

Finished grinding smooth all the welds on my exhaust and then laid down my first coat of por-20 silver exhaust paint. Has to dry for 24hrs before second coat can go on.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!

Got after it pretty good this weekend.Friday I put in the battery tray I bought from the board to replace what was left of my old one.

Then, this morning, I went inside the cab, and laid on my head and surgically repaired shoulder for an hour and a half changing out the damn stoplight switch. My hands just couldn't get up there to loosen the top nut to drop it out. Turns out my trucks PO had crossthreaded it.

After about an hour of messing with it, I grabbed a pair of dikes and proceeded to cut at the old plastic until I could pull the bottom nut off. Once it was off I pushed the stump up through the hole and out.

In the end I won. My brake lights now only come on if you're actually pushing on the pedal ().

To treat myself after all that hard work, I took the 2 minutes to install the new park light lenses in the grill.

Today I'll be putting on the front tie rods, pitman arm, idler arm etc.

Replaced the turn signal due to adding a tilt steering column. Signals work, horn works, making progress slowly.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!

Dismounted all the tires from the 70 and put them on my 83 (and vice-versa). Then I cleaned and rearranged the shop so I could fit & sorta work on both trucks. It's still crowded when the 83 is in there, but at least I can open both doors on the 83 and walk around the truck to do stuff.

No problem......It's a 68 w/ a 327. I'm only just getting started with the install, but so far things are going together quite well. I did have to enlarge the mounting holes on the top bracket for the condenser. You can sort of see that in the pics.
This is their latest offering for our trucks which is servo controlled. Will be interested to see how it works.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!

Well I Finely Broke down and had to Sale my Truck.
LOL Yeah right to that. I have to much invested into this one to sale lol. any how I did good yesturday Finely Sold the Donor I got the Bed and Frame and some other parts off of. and the good news is I fixed it back up decent enough to sale for just around the same price I purchased it for and saved a donor instead of trashing it. so I think I gained in this project just under 3k so now the good thing will be that money will go directly into this project to get it on the road this summer i hope..yay I am stoked!
