What did you get done? 12/03

[N2TRUX]

I had a great weekend even though I didn't actually work on my trucks. Friday night a spent a couple of hours getting my Christmas lights on separate circuits so I wouldn't throw a breaker every time I turned them on.

Then I detailed my wife's 03 Denali, and my 06 Crew cab. I was too worn out so I got up early Saturday morning and finished my crew cab my 77 Cheyenne before my buddy came in town. At 9:15 n2billet showed up with is family and he and I took off to meet up with a few other buddies. We went to a hot rod benefit for a buddy of ours that broke his leg and been off work for over a year. We had a great time seeing old friends, eating bar-b-que and checking out the hot-rods.

Today I went to my daughters first volleyball tournament of the season. They played well, but ran up against a bigger taller team in the semi finals and placed third....


What did you get done?

Let's see... Well I worked Saturday morning out at the airfield then sold my 72 chevy c-10. Trust me, I was sad as my baby drove off for Florida. It hurt to see my first one go But hey I know have a 71 shorbed project that I'll be starting a build thread for!! Woo! Sunday didn't do too much watched football with a couple of my soldiers, and now I'm back out at work on the airfield. This coming weekend I'll be pretty busy starting my new project!

Friday i worked on posters for our FCA, saturday a friend of mine and I carried our FCA banner while the rest of the group rode in the float behind us in the city parade, today i sat around and tinkered with making my switch panel base.

did not do a whole lot.
Fired up the snapper and bagged(mowed) the front yard. Much easier than a rake
Contemplated future options for my truck. I am set on buying my wheels/tires first. Just can't decide on what kind of motor...
Buy a zz4 crate motor, or something similar.
OR,
jump into an lq9 6.0 liter and prepare for some LONG weekends and nights...
decisions, decisions.

Well didn't really work on any cars or trucks this weekend... But just bought and got home with a 1984 GMC SWB.. red/black. Will put up a better picture later this is all that I have now..

Finally fixed the damn turn signal switch on my 78 k10 after 7 years of fighting a bad wire that would leave me without turn signals, brake lights, rear lights or a combinational of all of the above. Everything works and is bright. This allowed me to finally put the bottom cover back under the steering column. Had to rob it off my red parts truck as I cannot find the original one in the garage.

Pretty much sums up what I did this weekend and last. Otherwise, getting ready for finals over the next week or so, writing two huge English essays. Trying to get some more hours up at work, hopefully can make the big bucks this holiday.

I started my 1 piece window install on Saturday afternoon, went and got a new (to me) tailgate for Yeller, stopped by the body shop to check progress on the bed, and later in the evening went out with some family members to celebrate my 33rd b-day. Sunday, did house chores, tinkered a little more with the 1 piece windows, then did some dry wall work on the house windows in preperation for new inside trim.

Too bad the camera kept going out of focus.

Friday night I finished installing crown in my basement and put some finishing touches on a mantel taht I built. Then I set up a saltwater aquarium (I must have needed another expensive hobby ).

Saturday I spent some time at the pet store trying to figure out what the hell I was doing. $400 later I had the gravel, rock, salt, and test kits that I needed to get started. Now the tank cycling begins and so does the waiting period. With nothing left to do with the tank, I wired some outside lights and cleaned the garage.

Today we had our nephews over and watched Cars. Basically sat around all day playing with the kids and having fun.

Dident do too much since all the snow has put a damper on everything. I did finally got another tailgate on my truck took it off my donor box. 80+ tailgate so I had to switch all the hardware to get it to work.

I also figured since there was a good amount of ice and snow I'd teach my little sis how to drive on the snow. She did really well with the subaru but I cant have her thinking all cars drive like that in the ice and snow.

I see your going to jump in on the 73-87 trend too. Looks like you got a clean starter truck. What's the plans?

Friday I got my one piece windows for my project truck. It came to my house not the shop, so... I also got all the bushings on the Jimmy removed and hopefull will be moving to the removal of the Fuel lines to the installation of the EFI lines.

Saturday we went floor shopping and Sunday I for some reason had the urge to pull up the carpet from my Dining room.
