Who's power steering pump braket are you using?

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
 

Today I installed my alternator and power steering brackets on the 292. Went with a nice two groove billet pulley on the p/s pump to run a seperate belt for the alternator.

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
 

Modified Alan Grove..the stock Grove bracket was about 1/8 off for belt alignment. I messed around with tig welding some washers on the block side to correct. also made some 7/16 flat head bolts and counter sunk the front bracket for more clearance on my alternator belt.. Right now my all my belts are perfect

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
 

I ground down the old tac weld.....I am rather concerned my new bolts won't allow proper cab to frame alignment due to the old tac welds. If anyone has any advice....PM me!

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
 

Didn't exactly do much, rebuilt my steering shaft. Powder coated it and then put it all back together. Needed to use a small file... But couldn't find the handle... Then I found an old headlight switch that was broken, waaa laaaa handle..... Redneck improv = good times !! Headlight file !!

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
 

I like this idea! Is that magnets that hold the top to the bed side?

Nice looking truck. I hope mine will be half that nice by the same time frame.

Love it!

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
 

That they are. I used 3 super-duty magnets to hold the cover in place and 2 stainless pins on the bottom. you need quite a bit of force to pull the cover off, so might end up putting on a billet handle. have to see how it goes

Somewhat finished my gauge cluster thanks to 70shortfleet. Thanks for tach tin ! Really need to find a decal for my lens for vaccum.

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II

IM getting my frame ready :metal:

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
 

I've been spending the last few weeks trying to get my wheels finished to my satisfaction. I bought 8 inch rally's for the back and 7 inches up front. It has been hard finding a pair of thin trim rings for the front to match a wider pair on the back to enhance the wheel and tire size difference. Finally I found a wheel vintiques ring to fit with my metal valve stems. I wanted a little wider for the front, but this was the only compromise I could find. Here are a couple of pics. Tomorrow I'm doing a complete brake job to include new drums and slave cylinders.

I ran into the same issue when I switched to Rally wheels. I put the same size trim ring 1.75" on the front and rear. Not completely happy with it. What are the Wheel Vintages part numbers Your wheels looks great.

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
 

I got the new spring installed on my front end, ride height looks great now...
also started mocking up my Motor... a bunch of stuff started coming in this week...

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
 

Been working on detailing the engine. Still out in the garage but the race and beer have kind of taken over. I at least need to get the new water pump installed before I call it a day.

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
 

Finally replaced the brake hoses on my 67 long step and successfully bled the brakes. Should be more or less driveable now, but out of gas. Couldn't drive it around to test. A little bit closer though.

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
 

Today I blocked up my truck's cab, scraped, sanded, and blew off all the rust I could, and hit it with NAPA Rust Inhibitor. Tomorrow I'll spray the brackets with some rubber undercoating and next week.....put in the new cab-to-frame bushings!

And people wonder why I save all my scrap wood.....

:) :) :)

Well I finally picked a color and we got the cab painted inside and out. Looks good to see some color after all this work.

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
 

It is 1967 chev Tahoe turquoise or also called mariner turquoise.

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
 

Got most of my drum brake job done yesterday with the help of my father in law. Just waiting for inner bearing oil seals to finish up the fronts.

How about a side picture of your truck with your new wheel setup....

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
 

Got a little color on my engine today, starting to get excited.

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
 

Nice to see that I'm not alone in deciding to paint my aluminum intake.. Cool

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
 

Today felt like a bust but it was actually pretty productive.

I bought a 6" Craftsman vice. I thought about this one a long time: I figured a Wilton would be better but it would have involved $150.00 more plus a 140 mile round trip. Starting tomorrow, I'll mount her to my workbench.

I undercoated my bushing brackets.

I tried to drill out the broken bolt but my center punch would dull! That's one hard bolt!

The most important thing I did today was moving the crated fender outside. It weighs some 200 lbs in that crate it's in....it's outside now under a tarp. my neighbor come down and helped me carry it out. Now I have the room to make my fuel lines! Which I plan to start on as soon as the vice is mounted to the table.

Removed the plastic insert from the grill and cleaned up the hood latch assembly.
