Blew a freeze plug. lol And ended up pulling the dang motor because it needed new front and real main seals and new gaskets anyhow. SO I have a new gasket set coming and will take the engine apart and clean all the sludge out and reseal and repaint. Oh, Here is a picture of the clutch and pressure plate. They look fine right?

Started varnishing my bed wood on Saturday. It started to bubble a little at the surface. Thinking it is because of heat. Will nock it down with some steel wool and give it another coat.

TJ's Chevy · 08-02-2016, 09:40 PM

Started painting the 305 v6. Got the oil pan, valley pan, and motor mounts painted up. Waiting on parts so I am gettin her perrtied up.

I got the same radiator. works great so far. found out later that american eagle is another name for champion which has excellent reviews

American Eagle is the premium version of Champion. It has larger 1 inch tubes.
Champion 2 row has .75 inch tubes.

Narxoleptic Customs · 08-09-2016, 12:26 PM

Bought a power steering conversion bracket!

NVS-C10 · 08-09-2016, 07:46 PM

I finally finished up the wood door to cover the air bag setup and topped it off with a bottle cap opener to use as a handle in opening the door.. it also doubles as the perfect tailgating accessory!

forestb · 08-10-2016, 04:23 PM

got it back from paint

LVPhotos · 08-10-2016, 06:01 PM

Poked a 2"x2" hole to use the new shifter.

Is this just stained plywood? Looks great, whatever it is! I'd like to duplicate.

The bed is made up of "common wood" boards from Home Depot that have been stained and sealed with Olympic Maximum stain and sealant in one. The door over the airbag system is plywood with the same stain/sealer.

Thanks!

Got the rear end mounted on the trailing arms and on jack stands - Shhhhhhh (don't tell the wife) I'm not supposed to be working on the truck yet (I'm in post op recovery).

Northwest Outlaw · 08-31-2016, 12:29 PM

I was able to score a Lokar shifter for my th400 on Craiglist, with a set of shorty header (unused) for $75 total!! The shifter didn't have the mount hardware or linkage, so...

RKS0069 · 08-31-2016, 01:16 PM

Hi. Finally started back up a month ago and I'm making okay progress. I quit my job in order to work on this truck full time. Moving to Oregon soon!
