what did you get done this weekend?

[trkklr77]

havent seen a update thread for us lately, i assume everybody has been working too hard to post up?


i wired in the the internal reg alt, wired in the hei, re-routed the main wires to move the alt, reloaded the orange doors and mounted them up, tuned the carb a little, laid a little rubber down.

the truck is now running 100% on its own, no jump trigger and toggle switch from the battery, the key starts and stops it, all lights work, all the dash works, the seat stilll needs a new d-side bracket but no biggie.

he it is, in all its funky orange and 1 blue fender glory. i wish i knew just how many hand have touched this truck in its life but it is finaly up and drive able again.

GGGGGRRRRRRR. I've been off since the 19th of Dec. and been in the shop twice, neither time to do any work.

Glad to see someone got something done.
As for me....I drank a gallon of beer does that count?

[skokie]

Changed the oil and put on a new alternator belt.

[1BadSS]

Rebuilt my 350, tossed a new cam, hi-flo oilpump, worked the heads a little, roller rockers, and ported in the intake.

Still trying to decide if I want to the paint the motor or not, considering i'm leaving the factory paint on the truck. Kinda like a new-old type of thing, with the new wheels and old paint.



I do have 4 cans of gloss black waiting.

I got all my dash lights and wipers to work.

[masterbeavis]

NOTHING!! Today I swore I would clean up the mess in front of the garage, but my buddy called me and asked me to research value of some parts. I searched for half an hour, then passed out on the lazy boy (its my computer chair) and slept for 5 hours. X(

-
I went and looked at a '72 a guy said I could have. No motor or trans but everything else seems to be there. I took the camera but by the time the wife & I got there it was too dark to get any pics. I think I will go get it Wednesday or Thursday so I'll post an update in a new thread then.

I pulled the leaky air valve and resealed it after I replaced the busted nipple the first time. So far I am 3 for 4 on air ride leaks.

I also got my proportioning valve installed, but the lines are all wrong and I need to bleed the system.

[IvelDesigns]

fixed my glove box door so that it opens when you push the button
figured out what was wrong with my heater controls - 3 rivets are broke
installed a headlight buzzer
re-hung my driver side door so that you can close it w/o slamming it - still needs more tweaking
pulled the bed off to make my air bag install easier and so i can clean up the frame and paint it.

[2bits]

I installed a wood bed (3/4" plywood anyway), got a new steering wheel, and fixed a major rear suspension issue, and went for my first real freeway drive!

[FarmTruk]

Broke my lawnmower
But...I did get the rest of the fall leaves vac'd up

[al's71gmc]

Pulled the motor out of my son's truck. Found too much damage, so I'm sending him back to school with MY TRUCK!, while I swap in another motor into his.

[nutsforchevys]

Got my new grill insert and front bumper installed on my 72. Swapped the old grill and bumper on to a 71 1 ton I have listed on eBay.

[panhandler62]

Got the kids to write all their thank you cards..... took down all the Christmas decorations .. played my new game (Warhammer 40k) ..

Turned the truck around.. now it's nose out to the street.

Watched lots of football ....

Put my new engine stand together. Installed a new battery and checked the fluids in the truck to go help my brother move some furniture out of storage. Its great to have a LWB and only have to make one trip. I haven't driven it in a while so it was good to get it out running on the road.

[BigSky71]

Prepped my new tailgate, including shaving the outside handle. I have at least 20 hours into that handle shave between pre-fitting the new inside handle and getting the body work done on the outside. And now that I have the epoxy on it, I can see some stuff I still need to massage. But no worries, its all a learning process...

[rodstored-72]

well i bought my billet grill on friday. & then spent sat. wishing that i would get up & install it!! (family things)
so sunday & monday i spent installing the outer grill & still trying to figure out how to mount the billet insert on my '72

[shopking72]

Well I helped my buddy pull a LT1 out of his 63 SS, and put a 355 back in. Man, what a lot of work. I'm beat...

[whatnow123]

I completely replaced, cleaned and painted everything that moved in the front suspension. The control arm bushings were shot I found out when I pulled them. I have only driven it around the block so I don't know how bad it was or will have a comparison from the old to the new components. I'm assuming it will drive very well as I received a large box of new Moog parts that came with the truck including a new power steering box and front sway bar that was bought but never installed (SCORE!). This was a total PITA and I'm happy I won't have to do it again as long as I own this truck!!!

As long as these things have proven to last I think you should think twice about saying that! 30 years from now you might be changing them all over again.
