Here ya go.

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

Yesterday was for my truck. I built a work bench with a shelf. Then ran the cable for the "clothesline" I built for my wife (aka parts hanger).

Today I started tearing into the inside of the cab. Finding the darnedest things, like a chuck key inside a duct hose. Couldn't tell ya.

Changed out the rag, shaft, boot for SS polished ujoints, vibration dampner, and new shaft.

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

I changed out the center support bearing and u-joints on a 2 piece drive shaft. FYI, an L6 with a 3 speed manual transmission driveshaft is 68-1/4" long from center u-joint to center u-joint. A SBC with a 3 speed manual transmission is 71-1/2 inches from center u-joint to center u-joint. Both C-10s with 127 inch WB. I also noticed on mine, the center spline has 2 splines pushed together so its impossible to put the center yoke on wrong. that was nice of them;)

Installed a new 150 amp chrome alternator and cleaned up some wiring under the hood on ol Samson. All those big electric fans, vintage AC, electric fuel pump suck some amps.

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

At the show

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

Painted the back half of the frame. About 4 hours later installed the bed for the first time since I started the build (other than mock up), then bolted on my rear fenders. Took a long time to get to this point but today was a good day.

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

Pictures...got to show us pictures of the new stuff. :mm:

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

Nothing! My buddy needed help with his 98 diesel dodge with the silly automatic ghost electrical trans issue.

Man I don't even that thing! I like simplicity in my truck!

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

got the pics of the headlight harness . I mounted the relays on the rad support because the wireing was too short to let me get to the fender and still be able to get to passenger side headlight . I could have mounted it on the other side on the battery box but I wanted to be closer to the main junction for the harness where the alternator and the voltage sensing wires tie in . its also closer to the headlight switch . the harness came with a male plug to plug into the old headlight plug so for now I used that and left the passenger side hanging unused so if theres a problem with the relays or harness I could go right back to the old . I did solder the power wire to the harness at the wire to the battery right next to the factory splice and it has a 30 amp fuse . this winter ill get rid of the old stuff and solder everything and re wrap so it looks factory . when I was changing the bulbs over to the h4 I had one in turned it on what a difference between the two . I took it for a ride last night couldn't believe the difference . all in I got about 60 bucks in the bulbs and harness great upgrade . I want to do led turn and brake lights should help out the electric system real nice

My truck went under the knife to put on new dual exhaust. Went with two of Porters shorty mufflers and I really could not be happier with the sound.

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

The Safelite guy came out this morning and treated a rock chip on the GMC that I picked up on I-95 last Thursday. Still see the little pock mark squarely in the center of the windshield but the nickel sized "FLOWER" inside is gone. I paid upfront and the insurance reimbursement check is supposed to be in the mail. First dealing with new collector insurance company. Changed from Haggerty to Heacock awhile back.

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

Used it as a truck, earning her keep! http://i1109.photobucket.com/albums/...0904151052.jpg

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

Like chevy2tom I used it like a truck. :lol:

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

Oil and filter...I really have to put that rear main seal in. Not a lot of leak. But, *none* is the right amount.
Found a little drip of p.s. fluid on the lower hose.

Maybe it's time to pull the motor, plug a couple of drizzles, and change to those fresh Vortec 062's.

Put a chock in the bed for the motorized bike.

BTW, in this pic the very rear straps are connected just to take up slack. No tension. Just trying to avoid a "tip". Hahahahaha!:gi:

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

It does look like you got a deal on straps Mag, sure like that bike, just :cool:
