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

Wow ;

It's been too long since I checked in ~

My truck is still in the paint jail but the frame's looking mighty fine now , IK went ahead and bought all new MOOG ball joints & tie rods ends , might as well .

I've also been out of state and sick as a dog and trying to get some traction on overhauling my '77 292 i6 engine .


I am needing to use the crank shaft out of my '64 292 block as the flex plate bolts are larger in the '77 crank and the new flex plate I bought , can't be used on it .

Anyway , if it doesn't rain to - morrow I'll run a box full of loose parts down to the shop and spend some time in the solvent tank , then go home and hopefully pull the '77 engine's cylinder head , pistons & rods m, crankshaft etc. , I want to send the rods out for rebuilding and measure the bore for the new pistons , blah blah blah , the usual boring overhaul stuff , I love it so much , I'm old & gray now but I never tire of overhauling .

REALLY nice trucks and works I'm seeing here ! .
