The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network - What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II

Took six boxes of guck to the household hazardous waste roundup this morning. Just about rid of all the old paint and such from my FiL's garage. We had to clean it out when we rented the place. Paint marked "10-04"; my, what a fine can of crud. About 4 gallons of quart cans, and a whole bunch of spray paint cans that don't spray. Also finally got rid of the last three gallons of "syrup" from the saddle tanks on my truck. Been putting it off; it's just been sitting there in the can for about 2 years. It was crap when I drained it! :lol: Just got busy...

I drug the flatbed off my truck. Now for the chore of putting the pickup bed on it.

Does the after market comfort grip feel flimsey like the aftermarket truck wheels? If not I want one because it looks great.

Feels very much like the original factory wood grain two spoke sport wheel on my Chevelle. I like it

Hopefully finished the last major job in the engine bay for a while, swapped out the old quadrajet for an Edlebrock AVS2. Can't see it in the picture, but the new air cleaner looks nice anyways haha. Pic of the engine when I first got it included for reference.

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

Installed a new fuel pump.... My truck started missing and stumbling amd backfiring at 50/60 mph.. A good buddy suggested it could be the fuel pump. I always thought a fuel pump worked or didn't work but i now know that isnt always the case. The truck has 89000 miles and I think it still had the original fuel pump so today I had a new one installed and it cured the stumbling/missing and the truck is more responsive.
