What did you get done daylight savings time edition 3/11/12

[old Rusty C10]

mine progresses slowly toward paint.. final primer and sanding this week and paint. Ordered a new slider and window gaskets lets see how it goes from here

How about you all?

[trevrolet65]

Changed from 9.5 semifloat 4:10's to 10.5 fullfloat 3:73's. Much better, takes longer to shift out of first now, yeah!

[notyo_cheez]

Job, weather and life in general got in the way, so nothing. Knackers hauled off the old cab on Friday, does that count?

I removed the hood on my shorty and just got back from taking the old dry rotted tires off my rally rims. Hopefully I can get the rims out to my sandblasting / powdercoating guy and keep things moving.
I love this weekly thread........... It keeps me motivated and keeps my progress moving forward. I'll try and start posting pics along with my posts.

installed a new jvc radio Amazon.com: JVC KD-HDR40 CD Receiver with...

[killthewabbit]

Changed oil and oil filter, which turned out to be quite the ordeal. I'm too low now to slide the pan underneath, so I had to remove the front air dam to have enough clearance to be able to drive it up on my ramps. Got it all done after I realized that, though.

As a bonus, I grabbed an air filter I've had on the shelf for 5+ years and it exactly fit my stock air cleaner.

[PraireCrew]

Got my motor running in my truck, still a lot to do but it sure is a motavator to hear it running again.

Mine got picked up today, and on its way to the paint and body shop. Heavy ole girl destroyed those allum ramps, fast! lol

[BLE 'BURBAN]

Haven't got it done yet but I did get started on building some combination front LED park/turn signals with built in DRL's. Will post a write up on it later w/pics.

[csdineley]

Started to replace my water pump, power steering pump, and belts. I got every thing removed. Tomorrow I'll put it all back together.

[C15_Sierra]

Replaced the thermostat on the 5.3, now I need to replace the water pump (no flow). Will do that later in the week

[ratrod67]

Bought a couple 4x4's to flip. Yea, my wife isn't real happy.

[S10Fan]

Gave the Heap a little attention this weekend, wash, and new 225/60/15's on the front.

[JRANGER]

Wired int the cab corners with new monster speaker wire...Ran a true memory wire direct to the battery, ran all new wires to all audio...Including soon to be mounted kick panel speakers... Also installed my new slim mount Pioneer sub and box so I will be able to move the bench back

Did my first welding ever on inner fenders I got from pull a part with a 90 AMP flux core mig welder...Yeah it looks nasty but its a first...Also cleaned and coated one of the fender with undercoating...

Mounted the CD plater with the metal metra bracket directly to the metal dash. Cut the dash bezel to fit over it when reinstalled and just pop the stereo ring on..

Also replaced the inline fuel filter which fixed issue with the carb

HAHA yea I bet she wasnt. Might be able to help you make her alittle happier if the K10 there is mechanicaly sound tho. PM me when you are ready to start flippin.

Replaced drivers door jamb switch so the dome light comes on when I open the door AND changed fuel filter on the quadrajet.....as an added bonus the gas inlet no longer drips gas on the intake due to using gasoline safe Teflon tape on the threads. Small things are sometimes very appreciated. Lol

Put the new tank in the Hoopty and planned on some crusing again..but now she is not pulling any gas from the tank. Gotta check out what I hooked up wrong , or what died.

[85burb]

Finally got the wifes 85 long bed to pass inspection. Also installed the new hub caps we ordered. Also installed new water temp sensor and installed factory non-rednecked gauge cluster. Not registering oil psi and it has a new sender.......

[wyattglock]

Finished buying the parts to do my rear disc swap on my Dana 70 Dually.

[SCOTI]

Not as much as I wanted but every little bit helps....

I got my old tires that were pulled off the Alcoa's I sold to rs72z for his CC project onto some replacement wheels. I was pretty happy that the most weight required for balancing was only 1.5oz which is pretty decent for such a tall/lg set-up (rears are 235/85-16's).

I also got the front half of the new exhaust completed. I needed to 100% confirm placement & alignment so I can continue w/the remainder of the system. I'm building it in a 'modular' fashion so if/when the dually goes from lwb to swb, all that is required for the exhaust is a section gets un-fastened, shortend the appropriate amount, & then re-connects to the existing flanges (similar to my 'H' pipe arrangement).

A couple pics of the replacement wheels when they were on a buddies shop truck (nothing special) & a few of the exhaust. I did all the fab work & tacked everything but had one of the contract welders @ my work do the final welding because of time constraints (his welds don't require clean-up while mine would have). A big thanks to my good friend & board member 'MattA' for his help w/swapping all the tires around....

Very nice exhaust set up. Can you share some info on building this? I want my set up to look just like this. I want to get the exhaust built so I install my headers at the house and just bolt up the exhaust. Still have stock manifolds installed so there is no way for me to measure.

Ultimately, you'll need the headers in place if your intent is to build the exhaust based off of them. You could build everything from in front of the trans x-member back & then you'd only need to construct the 'head' pipes to the remainder of the system. I'll create another thread so as not to 'muck' this one up.

Replaced my passenger side fender. Also swore at it because it's leaking oil like the BP deepwater horizon.

[ghettoluxury]

Changed out the rear axle in the crew cab to an AAM 14 BOLT, out of a '04 2500HD. Will post pics later.

[riz]

I also picked up a mint tailgate for my shorty for $50..........Pretty pleased with the progress this weekend.
