'72 Fremont truck, early in the production year. That's looking really nice!

Oh yeah, I went to a local car show. Lots of vehicles, from over 90 years to the present. I remember when a Model T ford was only a few decades old.

Got my AM tuner unfrozen, got my BT unit and speaker switch mounted.
Next we find out if the AM unit works with the speakers....if it still works at all ;-)

Electrolysis rust removal on the manifolds . Found a crack in one so I’ll be doing some welding next week .

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
 

Neat process.
I had a crack in the drivers side manifold of the 454 BBC in my '67 K/10 Sub. I tried JB Weld. Unlike the claims on the package side, it burned off after a while.
There were Ram Horn exhausts on the small block in my '71 GMC Jimmy when I bought it. After It sucked a couple of valves [#6 + #7], I bought a Mr Goodwrench crate motor 350. I noticed the exhausts were different. The RH one had tapped bores for A.I.R. but the LH was pre-Emissions. I didn't like the possibility of different backpressures, so I got Headman headers.

Now that is a neat trick and I see it works very well!!!

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
 

I tried and my welding guy tried to weld up the crack . No go the cast is so porous it just opens up . So it looks like a new set is in order . I even painted the passenger side .

I was checking fuses on my new-to-me 2003 Tahoe. [Weird electric window issues.] When I dropped something, so I crawled under the motor.
I didn't find the tiny piece I had lost but I did find a 1'' piece of blue sparkplug wire. I had moved the '71 Jimmy out rom under the carport so I could check on the Tahoe in the shade. The Jimmy had run rough, but I thought it was just a cold engine.
I looked under the hood and found a packrat had chewed thru the #5 cylinder plug wire. No. 5 is hard to get to on a 4-Speed truck with Power Steering. I found a used plug wire I can try, but I'm not sure I got the terminal to click on the sparkplug tip.
I'll get back after it tomorrow. The sun went down on me today.
