What did you do to your truck today!

[bigsnookmaster]

Got the engine back in and running Tuesday night, took it for about a mile ride and put it back in the shop. Wednesday, took the complete rearend out, trailing arms,shocks and springs, and trailing arm crossmember. Today, I mock it all back up with the Porterbuilt crossmember and trailing arms, figure the coil-over shock mounting setup, make a template for the C-notch, and get stuff ready for powdercoating! That's about it!

let it warm up and pulled the poor thing outside in the freezing cold.... my poor truck now its prabably upset with me... We got so much snow it had to come out to put the wifes convertable camaro away...

Sounded so good yesterday i had to go out and warm it up and move it around some more... giggle giggle like a kid with a new toy...

Got my 2/4 drop installed. This weekend I will have the exhast all done. I will post pic's. It was a bit of wind so when I will get new pic's when it gets better outside.

It's cold around here. I just stopped by the shop for a minute (at my daughter and son-in-law's place around the corner)
and installed the new air cleaner the Little Woman gave me for Hallmark Valentine's Day.

It's coming along. Another six or ten years, I should be done.

It looks like Slick67 and I have the same headers. I got mine when I bought the truck and an extra cab as a "pile 'o parts". So I don't know the brand. I DO know, with my set up, I had to notch the frame just a tad for clearance.

the wiring inside my truck under the dash, and charged my battery.

[Hubscrub]

installed a fan shroud on the 67

[67Slider]

Installed the front sway bar with ECE drop mounts and polygraphite bushings. Very nice and easy with TXfirefighers FAQ. Worked on the rear drums. Got one side done. I will finish up the other side tomorrow. Then I will be done with these PITA drum brakes.

[Boog]

That engine is gonna be sharp Magwa.

[FRENCHBLUE72]

I covered mine is dust but the weather looks pretty good so maybe I can get the dual electric fans installed.

[67Slider]

Finished the rear brakes, buttoned her up and drove her down to the local shop for a full alignment. My two boys drove with me and they loved it. It really does handle 100% better with the new springs and a swaybar.

[ffk]

started to make a frame for my cab..

[ChevLoRay]

Got my chassis completely ready to go to the sandblaster. Whew! Gonna send the cross-members (engine and trans), the trailing arms and the control arms (U & L), too. Pix, later.

went to load fresh pics of my new 3/4 ton to my album and found out I no longer have an album. cheers, Pat

pulled the bench seat out so i could look at the gas tank so i know what line i need to modify for my tpi conversion and make room for my buddy buckets that will be going back in. i also siphoned off about 4 gallons of gas to put in my tahoe since its running a tad low. here's a photo of the driver's floor pan. also can anyone tell me what these lines do or what they are for??

[60ratrod]

oh and i found the gas pedal pad under the old bench seat so i reinstalled it on the gas pedal

[bigsnookmaster]

Finished welding up the c-notch, and boxing that rear section.Welded lower coil-over shock mounts to the rearend, and installed top crossmember and upper shock tabs. Realized I'm going to have to modify Porterbuilt crossmember for driveshaft clearance. That's it for today.

[Louisianaboys69]

Got my dash panel sanded and primed along with the glove box door and reattached it, did a little slicking to the roof, looking to shoot total cab this week.

[cparman]

Well, I drove my Blazer today!! Had a place to go, and drove my old girl about 75 miles. Trouble free, and the country music just a KICKIN! I had a great ride.

[NuBomb]

Finished a week's worth blazer fun:

Installed new intake
Installed new (rebuilt) quadrajet
Installed new heate core

Finally installed new glovebox. (hadn't had one in years)

Funny thing is I got it all done and it even runs.

Took out the clutch in my '67 C10 and found a 9" disk with a 10" plate. Doh

[bollybib]

I buttoned up the rear end cover and added new oil (pics 1/14 before, 2/26 after). I've been able to determine that I have an Eaton H052 with a 4.10 gear ratio mostly by searching the Forum archives. One good thing about leaks, they act as an excellent applier of rust preventative to external surfaces.

Then I installed a new shock absorber on the passenger side cuz I had left it for later and later was today.

Then I put 2 1/2 gallons of gas in the tank.

Then I installed a new PCV valve and cleaned out the flame arrestor and crankcase vent hoses.

Then I found all the air cleaner parts I had stored away and cleaned them.

Then I washed away most of the crud around the fuel pump and removed all the mickeymouse fuel lines from the outlet of the line from the tank to the carb. I found no fuel filter, kinked steel lines, swollen rubber, patchwork hose clamps and so on and so forth.

well i cleaned the bed out scrubbed some mold off the paint and drove it... wish it was wrmer i need to put plugs and wires in it too.
