Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
I know I post too much on this thread, but I can't help but share these photos. I stayed up late into the wee hours of the morning last night cleaning this '67 bellhousing so I could paint it with 2-part spray paint from Eastwood that I had left over from painting my engine. It was going to go bad unless I used it, and I didn't want to waste it.

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
.
Replaced vintage air fan power relay. The symptom was no blower fan. What I found was a loose connection at the main relay (the harness was only about a quarter of the way plugged in) which was probably causing the thing to actuate over and over essentially clicking itself to death! Feels good to have accomplished something...now onto finding the refrigerant leak before summer... -klb

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
Finally got the adapter for the new steering wheel after installing a new Flaming River tilt column. I'm loving how it feels. Then I removed 2 leaf springs from each side as God only knows when the backordered lowering springs will arrive. That dropped the rear about 3 inches. I think it's pretty close to where it should end up when the new springs get here. Maybe about an inch high right now. Yesterday was the first time I drove her over speed bumps since the lowering. I was nervous as my exhaust sits below the frame, but she glided right over

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
I couldn't take not having my back window in anymore and waiting for various friends schedules to help me try and install my Houston Craigslist's (1984 era) factory like aluminum Sliding Window. So I paid a "come to your house" vehicle window installer. It must have been the easiest money they ever earned, as I had the full window already out and the gasket/SS Trim pre-installed on the slider window frame.
They were very nice local Kyle guys and they wanted to talk about my truck (a lot). They said they more often than not have to deal with rusty trucks and mine was a breeze! So overall, I feel good about supporting a local business. I still paid less than buying a new slider (the black pre-tinted ones) and that is with me driving to Houston and back. Edit: Added bonus - the tint that is on the Slider pretty much matches the new tint on my doors that I had put on late last year. It needs to be replaced but I don't need to do that any time soon!

Worked on my hood to get the back to cowl to lay a lot more even. It sooo annoyed me and I finally searched the forums for some help. Just like clock work, hood not sitting all the way down helped me out!
She isn't perfectly even but darn close and SO much less annoying!

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
A good friend helped me remove my rear axle for what will be(hopefully) a correct set up and probably take it back to to a highway gear ratio. Also ordered new rear parking brake cables, new rear brake lines and hardware, new lowering blocks and U bolts.

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
Your truck looks great. I was wondering where you're having your axle work done? I'm looking to possibly change my gearing and add posi to mine. Thanks
