Me nothing,what about you guys?

71SWBChevy · 04-30-2006, 08:08 PM

Nothing here, had to work all weekend, but only 2 more weeks of school then I will have loads more truck time!!!

LUV2XCLR8 · 04-30-2006, 08:18 PM

This weekend was busy for me, but sadly none of it was truck related

1968 c10 · 04-30-2006, 08:34 PM

Bought a door for my truck on Friday, get to go pick it up next weekend.

Went to a bachorlette party Saturday night.

Was going to swap out the bench seat in my truck today and mount some speakers, but the weather didn't cooperate.

stingray72 · 04-30-2006, 08:47 PM

Replaced the dash bezel in my 70. Changed out all the lights and the plastic screen while i was at it.

Also replaced the door locking mechanism on the drivers side and only managed to lose 1 bolt which is excellent for me. heh

mblackburnjr · 04-30-2006, 08:51 PM

Not too much. I did install a fan shroud. I didnt think it was going to be as big a job as it was........pia

Southedisto · 04-30-2006, 08:52 PM

Got the engine primed (after making my priming tool). Got my clutch hooked up, inner fenders treated for corrosion, and the core support painted. Cant wait to finish my junk.

pugs · 04-30-2006, 08:54 PM

Went parts looking at local yards yesterday and hit a local swapmeet today and picked up 2 doors for my 67 project. Plus i had to finally lay my old 76 out to pasture, to rusted out for inspection. I will miss the old girl

71swb4x4 · 04-30-2006, 09:25 PM

I installed my rear valves, made a couple wiring harnesses for them, and ran some air line. This thing is taking forever but it should be on the road sometime this summer.

68GenIII · 04-30-2006, 09:26 PM

Here is what I got donehttp://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=197851

krue · 04-30-2006, 09:34 PM

Worked all weekend. I did finish last weeks project (got the serpentine setup going, electric fans, replaced body mounts, internally reg. alternator plus some misc stuff).

**Palf70Step** · 04-30-2006, 09:35 PM

Well, absolutely nothing vehicel related except lots of driving. I had to drive up to the northern art of the state and help with my daughter's Jr Prom. I did get to demonstrate to her date how fast I can hog-tie and chain some one to a bumper, if the need should ever arise.

farmtruckIII · 04-30-2006, 10:06 PM

I managed to mow the grass around my truck lol. These financially troubled times are taking the fun out of having a 454 Hopefully next weekend will bring a new radiator, fixing the butchered under hood wiring, and maybe a joy ride.

*bskylerj* · 04-30-2006, 10:07 PM

Nothing on the truck but I took my 7 year old to Seattle to Watch the Supercross race that was on Saturday. My son is a huge ricky Carmichael fan and he was able to meet Ricky and get his autograph. This made his day. He also got to meet a few others as well. It was a great time for him which made it a great time for dad.

pebbleboy · 04-30-2006, 10:09 PM

I got the holes drilled out and the new studs for the upper arm installed after two calls th the GM dealership and a "i dunno if your bolts are even ordered or are ever going to come in."

Finished putting the front back together and letting it off the jackstands one week late.
All I have to do still is set the track bar, put the shocks on the rear, and bleed the brakes and I can drive it again.

Oh I might have to cut some prings

67ChevyRedneck · 04-30-2006, 10:49 PM

I did this

67_C-30 · 04-30-2006, 11:14 PM

Very nice work 67ChevyRedneck! I did a tank install this weekend also, but it was just replacing my in cab tank with a one I got from fellow member EyeH8the24 (Thanks again Travis!) I also pressure washed the chassis painted it with rubberized undercoating and replaced the driveshaft.

rauto13 · 05-01-2006, 12:19 AM

I finally replaced the left window regulator on the truck, nice to be able to roll the window up & down again. Pulled the hood & rt fender off the Camaro to change the evap core and replace the fender. Added power brakes to the Camaro. Pulled one seat out of the boat and tore it apart to find mucho rot in the wood. I also cleaned the garage up a bit.

HeavyD · 05-01-2006, 12:25 AM

I trailered home a 71 C10 and a 73 C20 rustbucket.

You need to leave it in farmtruckIII's driveway so he can install his 406/TH350 and drive it untill the wheels fall off of it. Or we could just swap and I can put the 454 in it lol.

I'm not attached to it. Let me know if you want it.

*Billla* · 05-01-2006, 09:14 PM

That would be a big fat NOTHING for me too :/ I did start on the Pertronix install, but I'm still sorting out burrs on the bottom of mechanical advance.

Kid advised me on late Sunday that he had a project due...
