Replace the flex fan and found my crank pulley is out of alignment to the water pump ,alt and ps pump. Ps Pump I shimed it out but the alt there is no real way to shim it. Once I get the alt to lime up o the crank I can shim the water pump pulley out.

Fixed the horns and signal self canceler Bought a new turn signal switch but didn't like the modern 4 way button and using an adapter to my wiring. So I took parts from the new one to fix the original. Just needed the spring under the horn contact and the spring for the self cancel. New springs and all is good.

1. Finished installing the transmission controller and wiring. 2. put the seat and carpet back in. 3. Glued the rear view mirror bracket on three times. ( It came off twice when I went to put the mirror on), ( 90 degrees and raining here today ). 4. Then I started taking out the plywood bed the PO put in, so I can rebuild the differential, install a top mount rear sway bar, and install a real wood bed.

I bought one at Walmart on sale with a crushed box and I never put it on, but then again I've never washed my truck.

New bearings on the drivers side rotor. And new tires all around. Amazing that they looked great on the outside but in the back side cracked like all hell. But the DOT code was the 42 week of 2010 so they were done. Should have looked when I bought it could have knocked a little off the price

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

Yes. 2 applications for a precision fit lol.

I knocked off all but one old mount from the flatbed. The last one is welded in multiple places & I need to buy a cutoff wheel.

I didn't do anything to my truck but was on the way home and the City had blocked off a main intersection for road repairs so I went down a back alley and lo and behold there was 68/69 GMC with a canopy sitting in a back yard with 90's Lincoln in fornt of it. Wife was with me so I'll go do some investigation when I'm alone and yes I'll get pics..

Went to check the cam lash and found it would not move at all without deflecting the cover. I have not a clue what might have caused this. Cover comes back off and it will be adjusted again. Gasket was destroyed so now I have another set of waterpump gaskets and a front seal! Yay!
