What did you get done this weekend - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

70GMCer · 03-25-2007, 04:44 PM

I removed the front suspension from my 84 burb to get ready to install on my 70 GMC.....

ronh72c10 · 03-25-2007, 07:04 PM

I replaced the bottom portion of the battery tray and powder coated it, repaired the pass inner fender and core support for the c10.

And finished my portable infrared (actually radient heat) propane fueled powder coat curing stand.

Wootdog · 03-25-2007, 08:00 PM

I put inner and outer tie rods on my 68 short wide. Then I greased the front end. Used the 67 stepside to go get the parts. Wootdog.

*72CSTC5* · 03-25-2007, 09:00 PM

bad_turbo · 03-25-2007, 09:12 PM

sold my '71 C20 to Manimal aka Lance. Looked at a '67 motorhome for sale.

toms68cst · 03-25-2007, 09:16 PM

I think I figured out why my fuel gauge isn't working. Now to fix it!

72chevy327 · 03-25-2007, 09:18 PM

Took my long box off and ordered almost a whole new short box. also striped the interior. feels good to finally get to work on my truck after its been sitting for a year.

1BadSS · 03-25-2007, 09:33 PM

Picked up a crate 350, set or ralleys, good used qjet, owners manual, glovebox door.

Captain Knievel · 03-25-2007, 09:37 PM

Installed the white gauges from whitegauges.net. The interior is starting to come together. Next weekend I put the door panels and new cranks in, as well as the blue LED lights (Thanks to 70c10 for the mod tips here

).

IN PROGRESS

TONE · 03-25-2007, 09:52 PM

Installed the side and wing windows, worked on the doors, drilled the holes in my new hood for the "Chevrolet" which was nerve wracking, primed, painted, cleared the hood and endgate, installed them, played soccer with the family, then went on a bicycle ride with my son. I'm pooped! (and sore!)

mfarmer · 03-25-2007, 09:58 PM

Took the front clip off. Taking it to a body guy in the next couple of days. He will be replacing the rocker panels, kick panels and part of the floor boards.

smbrouss70 · 03-25-2007, 10:00 PM

I got my ECE hidden Hitch installed on the stepside, and disassembled my 70 3/4 ton parts truck to a bare frame. I'm pooped, too!

Pl4yboy · 03-25-2007, 10:19 PM

Caught about 200 Crappie

Good eats.

harmsy · 03-25-2007, 10:25 PM

Put on new plug wires, plugs, HEI dist, rotor, new headlights, replaced a couple side marker bulbs.........drank some whiskey........no carburator yet so couldn't take it for a spin. Hopefully soon !!!!

cstm68 · 03-25-2007, 10:29 PM

got all the rest of the parts i wanted off my parts truck and got it ready to tow to my high schools auto shop to strip the rest of the way

724x4a/cchevy · 03-25-2007, 10:35 PM

removed the tranny from my blue 72. The flex-plate has had a missing tooth ever since we owned it, and the 2 month old starter wasn't engauging right and tearing the flex plate up even more. Turns out the starter needed to be shimmed away from the block and cracked the starter housing. Thanks to oreilly's lifetime warranty it was free!!! Got the driveshaft/tranny out saturday and today (sunday) dad and i replaced the flexplate, tranny and the starter. Now it sounds like butter

All better!! Also got an electronic flasher from oreilly's and now my led brake lights work perfectly!

Whiskey/spin just as well...Only kidding. I worked a 12 hour nite shift Saturday and I'm currently working 12 tonite, all overtime, so I can afford to purchase bedsides from a vendor on this board. Hey, ya gotta pay to play!

Chevyholic · 03-26-2007, 10:37 AM

Finally got my exhaust installed, fabricated a license plate lamp bracket and put it on. Got my safety inspection and went for my first "legal" ride in the truck!!
