Killin Me... - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Tx Firefighter · 12-21-2003, 01:41 AM

This place has turned into a graveyard.

We need a good argument about something or else find a board where people actually work on their stuff.

Let's get it on!

*rage'nrat638* · 12-21-2003, 01:42 AM

HECK I AM ALWAYS GOING AT IT

**JIMs70GMC** · 12-21-2003, 01:49 AM

Wait until the first credit card bills come rolling in after the Holidays!

Tx Firefighter · 12-21-2003, 01:54 AM

I just get jacked up. I commit to working on the truck at least 1 hour every single day, no matter what.

Some days I'm in the shop at 1 AM if I have to be. Most days it's way more than 1 hour.

I need to find a forum board for real hard core junkies I guess.

teeitup · 12-21-2003, 02:04 AM

It is dead on here tonight and I'm on baby duty

**old Rusty C10** · 12-21-2003, 02:06 AM

yall get tired of working on your own ya can come here and work on mine!!

dion · 12-21-2003, 02:25 AM

Sh!t man, if I had a shop or garage to work in I'd be out there every night till 1AM too, it really sucks laying in the street under you truck, but I admit it's better than nothing so I do it.

*Randy70C-10* · 12-21-2003, 02:44 AM

I just finished taking my gauge panel apart an hour ago.

BLACK AND BLUE 67-72 · 12-21-2003, 02:47 AM

I have thoughts of doing work to mine!!

Does that count??

Mrs72shadetree · 12-21-2003, 03:03 AM

added power steering to mine and changed the shifter in ...that counts don't it?

shuttermutt · 12-21-2003, 03:03 AM

I notice the folks that have this serious, balls-out commitment to their trucks also live in nice, warm climates.

YEA IT'S 10 ABOVE OUTSIDE NOW HERE IN IL,

BUT MY GARAGE IS 60

*Randy70C-10* · 12-21-2003, 03:21 AM

It's a nice warm 30 here, outside and inside.

74bowtie · 12-21-2003, 10:02 AM

I just did my gauges, I am now rebuildng a floorshift column and putting in a Hurst Promatic II truck shifter into my truck. Also cleaning up the A/C controls I just got from MJF. Next I will rebuild the front turn signal assembles then get a new bumper. Little by little its looking better. I also want to detail the engine before spring.

Amen brother! Mine is my daily driver until I get the wife's car going, so I am limited in what I can tear down. As soon as I get her car going I am pulling the engine to do a little leak fixing and a lot of cleaning.

FRENCHBLUE72 · 12-21-2003, 10:51 AM

You gotta figure that if no one is online then they are working on there rides which is a good thing... BTW it;s 42 outside right now..

FuelCellGuy · 12-21-2003, 11:29 AM

getting ready to spray the bedliner in the 68. Will definatley post pics when finished. I followed in XXL's thread on the other board. His turned out great. Later, FCG

Lippyp · 12-21-2003, 01:46 PM

Have a whole heap of stuff to start on in the new year, cleaning up the interior, new carpet, some paint etc, an HEI to fit with new underhood wiring harness, some new fancy hoses, re-wire the rear lights as the wiring is just crumbling away (need to make my own harness as it's been adjusted to make the lights legal in the UK) and a few other bits. Been stuck on getting the spare bedrom sorted out and decorated by Christmas (our house is exactly 100 years old and was semi derelict when we bought it six long years ago, now nearly finished renovating it)

Bill72BB · 12-21-2003, 02:14 PM

I replaced the bent front bumper on BB , and am getting ready to tank a 1411 I picked up on e-bay , then I will swap out the 1406 and see if their is any difference. .

**CPNE** · 12-21-2003, 04:43 PM

I took some baling wire and fixed my fan shroud from hitting the fan on the plow truck. Backyard engineering at it's best

10 degrees and laying in the snow. Is that hard-core enough for ya?

djracer · 12-21-2003, 04:56 PM

I have been busy as he!! djing I have had about 15 parties in the last 3 weeks.

But I am having a friend rebuilt my entire rearend with posi unit 3.73's all new bearings and brakes.

I also started buying the full autometer treatment for the dash. I keep forgeting to order the bezel and new dash pad.

Hopefully the rearend work will make double the tire smoke!

FuelCellGuy · 12-21-2003, 06:04 PM

68CST327 · 12-21-2003, 09:03 PM

Just wait until the weather starts warming up. I know I'm in So. Cal, but sometimes it gets just cold enough where if I have to make up my mind about going outside to work or staying in and watching TV, I'll usually pick sitting in front of the boob tube.

Come Spring time, this place is busier than a one-armed paper hanger.
