What did you get done 1/2/11 New Years Edition - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**old Rusty C10** · 01-02-2011, 04:36 PM

Ive been working on possibly getting another rig... nothing on the old heap...how about you all?

87 V20 Scottsdale · 01-02-2011, 04:48 PM

I spent New Years Eve day washing and cleaning the inside of my '87 and putting a new blower motor in my '86.

shloopter · 01-02-2011, 04:54 PM

Me and my son installed a new stereo, amps, and speakers. We spent the week making a sub box, door boxes and installing all the electronics. We also put Dynomat throughout the cab. Fun project but a lot of work. We finished January 1st at 2:00 pm.

Happy New Year everyone!

BigRed76 · 01-02-2011, 05:15 PM

Finished making the holes in the newer door panels for the power door lock switches (will be installing power locks in the '76 soon), and also discovered a new front driveline vibration since using my 4wd in the snow for the 1st time since its been lifted

i swapped my edelbrock for a reman quadrajet

S10Fan · 01-02-2011, 06:48 PM

My daughter got some new wheels and tires for her 18th birthday (12-25) from her grandparents. We got those puppies mounted and balanced Friday morning. I just don't understand where all her love of wheels, lowering, paint etc comes from.

The family spent New Year's eve just hanging out at home.

Took the Heap and my S-10 for a cruise Saturday. Washed and cleaned the trucks, the Chevelle and Momma's van Saturday afternoon. Of course it rained all day today. LOL.

Happy New Year to all!

zimmstoy · 01-02-2011, 08:38 PM

74 Jimmy - Got the inner quarters sanded down, por-15d and ready to have the new quarters mounted.

87 Monte Carlo SS restoration - completed dynamatting the doors and replaced the window motors. reinstalled the rear spoiler and rear bumper - coming along

also straightened up the garage and checked out cars and coffee. - all in all a very productive weekend!!

Buick455 · 01-02-2011, 08:46 PM

Sandblasted my rear leaf springs. I started sanding them to get ready for paint. Re-building spring packs is allot of work. The fronts were also allot of work but there was not as many as the rear.

Justins76 · 01-02-2011, 08:47 PM

New rubber cab mounts installed and Mobil1 oil change.

justpball · 01-02-2011, 08:55 PM

big10ratrod77 · 01-02-2011, 10:06 PM

well ive been lookin at another truck an 85 s10 blazer 4x4 with a 2.8 and a 5 speed need somthin better on gas than my 77... not realy i want a 4x4 lol

lilpoindexter · 01-02-2011, 10:31 PM

I started on my new diamond plate bed floor...only to realize the "good" hardware store with the huge selection of bolts was closed until Monday

D13 · 01-03-2011, 08:04 AM

Drove the 99 out to my mom's place, brought back a full truck load of S10 and Buick parts, only 3 motors 45 trannies and a little bit of misc left there from my 35 years of stashing.
Sold the wheels off my S10, need cash to fund my full size habit. Rest of the truck gets scrapped in 2 weeks.
Tore down my Monojet that I'm rebuilding for my 77, the choke was wired open and the vacuum pull off missing, gonna have to find the rest of the linkage somewhere. I hate that. But it'll be nice to get a functional choke on the truck.
Stole the battery out of it for my tractor, gives me an excuse to replace it with a new one.
Started the diesel, drove it in to town, runs great except for that horrible noise (most likely a rod) and the quart of oil every 300 miles.
