What did you get done 11/15/2009 edition - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**old Rusty C10** · 11-15-2009, 04:44 PM

I didnt get anything done truck related again as ive had alot of things going on this week. I did make an effort to get some more parts together but thats about it
We also had a lousy nor easter this weekend so that put the kiabosh on most of the weekend...
How about you all?

dan76 · 11-15-2009, 04:48 PM

Just returned from pressure washing a NV 4500 transmission, drive shaft and cross member I picked up for a song. (and I can't carry a tune). More to come....

GmtGmt · 11-15-2009, 04:53 PM

preped the frame on my C-30 for paint and bought a new cab, running boards, camper shell and other stuff

Scootin 81 C20 · 11-15-2009, 05:32 PM

I would've liked to have gotten more done but I didn't. I got new driving/fog lights installed and I put the cleaned up bowtie on my grille. I also started stripping my extra drivers side door for parts.

S10Fan · 11-15-2009, 06:15 PM

I had a very busy weekend...........

On your mark, get set, GO!

Heap...Finished the power steering conversion, installed a Dakota Digital cruise unit, installed the new fender emblems (3M tape for now), added the Caddy air cleaner and trim rings for the wheels. 2 new tires on the front. Replaced a leaking rear air bag.

Replaced a window regulator on the wife's van.

Replaced the rear brakes on my old Mazda.

Cut the grass and cleaned up the yard after our NorEaster Thursday and Friday.

It's time for a nap. LOL

74 C-30 · 11-15-2009, 06:52 PM

finally got the truck ready for inspection
this week had to replace the lower control arm on my DD, it rotted out and bent going down the road
today i was doing some looking around in the garage and while going through my grandfathers old tool box, found a handful of Starett calipers, and a Sears half inch micrometer. but the coolest find was an 'application for reassignment" at General Electric dated 1956, a year before my father was born. my grandfathers wrote the he wanted a position where he could use his head more. thought i was wicked cool
double bonus, found a picture of my truck in '75

80chevyshortbox · 11-15-2009, 06:54 PM

i got my truck back from the paint shop and i also put a fresh coat of paint on my powerstering pump. another step closer to putting the motor back in. all post up some pics later tonight, but if you wana see some pics of the paint go to my build thread.

bagged74 · 11-15-2009, 10:04 PM

I picked up another squarebody 2wd blazer...it needs some work, but its gonna make a nice one!

Other than that i finished wiring a 70 C10 for a guy, and made a roadtrip to pick up a set of 20s for said blazer

*BGRAFX* · 11-15-2009, 10:23 PM

I did a reverse front end conversion from stock 91 gmc to 81 chevy with cowl hood and billet grille. Still have couple of minor things to complete.

Driveway Dreams · 11-15-2009, 10:42 PM

Bradbury: looks good man! Show us a more complete shot of the whole truck with new clip.

I didn't get much done around here. Thursday, enjoyed my 49ers beating up on Jay Cutler and the bears. We got snowed on most of the weekend. I sat at work all day Saturday again to not make a buck. Today watched the Broncos FAIL (that is for a couple of my local friends Bob & Adam

).

*BGRAFX* · 11-15-2009, 11:02 PM

Those are all I have so far. I got the front end from another member and it took a little more then either of us expected to make the 10yr parts swap. I need to stop by LMC tomorrow and get some misc bumper bolts, clips for the outer grill pieces and wire in the bumper lights/turn signals.
Any secret tips on Aligning the cowl hood?

95 S_Trucker · 11-15-2009, 11:08 PM

i got all the interior plastic dyed and metal trim painted, made some kick panels out of 1/4 ply wood and covered them in carpet, made some seat belt covers to fit aftermarket seatbelts, painted a tailgate for my boss(inside and outside, also a 2 tone) and striped his truck

3r!c84 · 11-15-2009, 11:14 PM

changed the oil on the truck and got some free parts from a friend,and party,party party

**lolife99** · 11-15-2009, 11:25 PM

BGRAFX,...
What made you change?
What are you doing with the old pieces?

**texassquarebodies** · 11-15-2009, 11:34 PM

Junkin all weekend.

Made the girlfriend mad.

Made up with the girlfriend.

Made a little money.

95 S_Trucker · 11-15-2009, 11:36 PM

i forgot to add, i also blew a brakeline in the 98 and managed not to hit anything when my pedal went to the floor

*BGRAFX* · 11-15-2009, 11:49 PM

I swapped parts with member 632bbc Josh has an 81 4x4 with 12inch lift on 42's he will soon have my 91gmc front clip on that truck since i got his 81parts. Why you ask? Just because I was born in 1981 I wanted my suburban to be customized to the year I was born but with the cowl hood and billet grill.
here is his truck...Then my pop up tent when it started raining

SCOTI · 11-16-2009, 01:31 AM

Frustrating weekend. I pulled a rear 12-bolt housing on my 64 for a board member & delivered it to help him out only to have the receiving shop 'decline' it because it was in "no better shape than the current rear housing". No contact to square the issue..... it is what it is.

Justins76 · 11-16-2009, 02:48 AM

Got my carpet and seat upholstery done.

**N2TRUX** · 11-16-2009, 11:55 AM

Worked around the house all weekend. I have been doing interior paint work and the projects keep getting bigger. Not much to show, but the interior trim is looking much fresher these days.

I did take the 77 out Saturday night. It was the last cruise night of the season here and it was freaking huge. I got there at 4:30 and spots were filling quickly. By 6:00pm the lot was overflowing.

Here's a few of my favs.

ghettoluxury · 11-16-2009, 02:43 PM

I made a custom heater box out of 2 and started cleaning up the fire wall. I think I am going to just cut all the old metal out an put in a new peice since the AC box helped create alot of swiss cheese

72BlckButy · 11-16-2009, 03:59 PM

Nice score on the blazer bagged74.

Nice work BGRAFX.
