Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

Finished the underhood wiring on my LS swap

Finished the radiator, fan shroud, heater and radiator hoses.

Couldn't get my transmission lines to work so I cut them and will be using AN fittings with braided hose for about 8-10 inches at the transmission.

Vacuum booster vacuum hooked up (LS is 1/2 inch and old booster is 3/8ths).

One or two good saturdays and I may get to hear it run and then to the exhaust shop!!

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

Well I didn't do anything to the 67 or 72 today. But my son and I did go look at a 70 GMC Suburban today. It's a parts rig, 3/4 ton, was a BB 4 speed, with roof air. 402 is gone and now residing in a very slick 71 stepside with Buddy buckets and tach dash! But the burb will be sitting in my yard after I go pick it up next week! He bought it for a very good price for what's there.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

Was moving parts from the garage to the storage space in the shed yesterday and found a fist size dent in the inner fender well that I had painted about 3 weeks ago. Pounded out the dent, wet sanded and repainted. Yelled a little at wife, kids and in general but am over it now. No one would cop to dropping something on it. Life goes on!!

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

Went to visit my truck at the body shop. It's been gone for 2 months now and I'm going crazy! I didn't have time to really tune it before getting it running and taking it to the shop. At 31 seconds you can hear the cam but the idle is a little slow. I pulled the PS belt off just before dropping it off. Makes for fun in tight spaces.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

I did some cleanup work on the camper to/cap, collected the new timber from the wood yard for it (bottom rails that it sits on are rotten) and then got dragged into gardening. That said I've been cleaning up under my new tarp garage that the truck will live in as soon as the cap is repaired, cleaned up the weeds between the 200 odd year old cobbles in there so it should be a bit dryer and cleaner.

This week the wheels are going off to have the tyres refitted with new valves as three out of the four go down over the space of a couple of weeks, then hopefully I'll find some time to drain the five year old gas out of the tank and replace it with fresh. Then I'm ordering a new battery and starter.
