What did you get done? 01/18 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**N2TRUX** · 01-18-2009, 11:29 PM

I went to Austin yesterday to pick up an arcade game that I need for a new account. Even after several "very" specific questions about condition, I found it was not exactly "as described". Drove off with an empty truck, thought about it and went back. I'll have to make it work out.

Today I spent time cleaning my garage a bit. I had a couple come over to look at my 84 Z-28. Looks like I have a buyer. They are short on cash, but I'm going to work with them to free up space in my garage.

What did you get done?

willett · 01-18-2009, 11:39 PM

compressor hooked up to bags, and guage mounted on dash.
also: installed CB radio with loudspeaker!

silvereagle07 · 01-18-2009, 11:40 PM

Well, I spent yesterday thawing out my pipes under my house. It was 9 degrees here saturday morning. I spent the rest of Saturday hanging out with my wife and daughter. I spent Sunday doing the usual, church, taking my mom out to lunch and then back to church.

vern350 · 01-18-2009, 11:47 PM

Studied for some power engineering exams and played some pond hockey when time allowed. Nothing truck related sadly. Got any pictures of your 84 z28 camaro N2TRUX, I think it was posted on here before. Ive got a 86 z28.

**lolife99** · 01-19-2009, 12:02 AM

I finally got the front suspension on the blazer back together. Thorbecke Bros. tubular a-arms, shocks and upper shock mounts. ART Musclebar sway bar, ECE cross-drilled rotors, and Slam Specialties RE-7 bags. Pics of it on the ground coming soon.

Also,... member 72BlckButy and I went on road trip to member tcb-1's house and picked up a REALLY nice grille for my '69 swb. Doug had a few extra parts that he also threw in.
Great deal! Thanks, Doug.

D-Monkey · 01-19-2009, 12:06 AM

got my 74 to go in gear so I took it up the street. It looked like 10 very rich 2 stroke dirt bikes went up the block. Got back and spent the rest of the day fixing a freeze plug (the one under the motor mount). Tomorrow, reassembly.

**old Rusty C10** · 01-19-2009, 12:08 AM

had to change the battery in my F150 cause it died from cold weather nothing else automotive tho

westie 666 · 01-19-2009, 12:25 AM

Spent the weekend at the Kumeu hot rod festival, the biggest in the southern hemisphere. My truck was there after getting a wheel alignment Saturday morning. There would have been two thousand display vehicles plus the usual trade stands and swap sites. Sorry no pics, my camera threw a rod and is toast, I took a chopper ride to get pics all for nothing.

84 400 · 01-19-2009, 12:41 AM

On The Grinch.....
New water pump, T sat, Temp sensor, coolent........
Got it tagged insured and registered. And this flipping state sales taxed me on the NADA average retail. Anybody wanna guess what that is ???????????????????

Try $9,500 @ 5% sales tax is about 500.00!!!!!!! THIS IS CRIMINAL!!!!!! I am filing an appeal with the board of revinnue and sent an email to NADA informing them of there inacurate values. True my truck is not even close to there low retail standers but 4500.00 low retail give me a break!
So I got pretty upset at the MA dmv....

Topped off all fluids I have changed and drove threw the fresh powder we got today.

just glad the temps are back up in the 20's and I don't need to be working on the truck!

By the way N2, how long have you been contemplating selling the Z? I remember seeing a post with it a long while back. Black with purple scalips or something like that????

flamingbig10 · 01-19-2009, 02:31 AM

Friday I got my electric fan wired, Saturday I installed door jamb switches, dome, and courtesy lights, mounted the heater under the dash, and went to a pic and pull and picked out some nice bench seat from a 81-83, since the guy that's upholstering my seats is taking along time, and after I installed heater and cleaned the seat I installed it and the seat belts and drove my truck to parts store, first time since the middle of November, and today I installed some horns, and panted the top of the radiator support where the trim goes and reinstalled the trim

ainokea · 01-19-2009, 03:36 AM

rode my quad and finally drop my truck
and clean my garage

Ds86C10 · 01-19-2009, 05:21 AM

went to the casino for my girlfriends birthday saturday and sunday night got my a$$ chewed by a cop for leaving my truck locked up and running outside blockbuster.... nothing better to do i guess

S10Fan · 01-19-2009, 08:30 AM

25 degrees outside on Saturday so I spent all day in the garage at 70 degrees. Had the TV on Speed channel (Barrett Jackson) and re-arranged my garage, cleaned, put away,and gathered junk for the trash man.

Took my Chevelle out for a little cruise on Sunday then took the family to Outback for dinner.

aggie91 · 01-19-2009, 09:35 AM

Started off Saturday by going to work for a couple of hours, picked up my oldest boy from a freinds house and got to see my buddies new MATCO Tools truck. He will start selling tools in February. Washed my DD truck for the first time in about 2 months, seems like every time I wanted to before it was supposed to rain the next day. Man, does that truck need some attension with a buffer. Sunday I reinstalled the rain cap on my chimney, I am too old to get up on the roof with 12/12 ptich...spent the rest of the day grillin and chillin and got to watch the NFC Championship game.

74 C-30 · 01-19-2009, 11:56 AM

spent the weekend watching after my mum after she was released from the hospital saturday for hernia surgery. still waiting for Microsoft to make good on an Xbox 360 that died within the first week...trying to fix my bricked Zune, i think ill have to send that back too although theres no warranty...shoveld and snow blowed 15 inches of nice powery snow makes me wish i had a snow mobile...

SmokeShow · 01-19-2009, 12:19 PM

Fri. supper at mexican joint with wife and a friend..

Sat. slept in late, went shopping with said friend above and wife, then off to the supper followed by seeing Mall Cop. Ntoa bad movie but not as funny as I wanted it to be.

Sun. Slept even later, went over to friends, had supper at OCharley's and watched a movie back at her place with the wife. Best Friend's Girl w/ Kate Hudson and Dane Cook. Not a bad movie. Bit crude considering they thought they were making me watch a "chick flick". I thought it was funny that backfired on them.

Nothing truck related.

D13 · 01-19-2009, 01:16 PM

Cleaning out a crack in the basement before I patch it. Watched football. Ate. Shoveled my side of the driveway out.

73CheyenneSuper20 · 01-19-2009, 01:24 PM

Truck Related: Cruised through craigslist and ebay looking for a replacement transmission, got a '74 K20 rock crawler project last night for $400. They were building this up and lost interest. Has a 350, Edelbrock intake, big Holley carb, 4speed, 205 T/C, Dana 44 front axle with new 4" Ruff Country springs and brake lines, 4.11 ratios. Also has 3 headlights, hood, fried wiring harness, new wiring harness and that's about it.
I know,

, but it was late when we got home. Actually, I haven't put up hardly any pics of my other truck. I'm slacking.

*78 Chevyrado* · 01-19-2009, 08:44 PM

A friend just gave me around 15k music files, so FTW I'll be sorting for a while.

jchav62 · 01-20-2009, 10:25 AM

On Sunday we took the bed off of my truck...

On Monday, I took degreaser and the pressure washer to it. I put some black paint on it after it air-dried. Looks good enough for something you'll never see....

dswancutt · 01-20-2009, 11:00 AM

Started to replace the heater core in my 78 k10. What a royal PITA that is. Everything is cleaned and ready to be put back together tonight.
