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

All I did yesterday was soak some hardware in Evaporust. I should have done this last year but somehow it got overlooked.

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

No, it hasn't been spun around, I have had a body expert look at it, it is a factory mistake, I am not kidding, I just was trying to find out if it gives the tailgate more value, with other antiques, factory mistakes add value, but it seems no one on this site can give me an answer, I guess that's what happens when your the chosen few who ride on the outhouse float in the parade....

No more need for the antenna so this replacement looks good. Down the highway at 70 and doesn't move.

I finally got around to putting on the old turbine mags I picked up a couple months back.

I'm not fan of those rims but they look so right on your truck.

Painted my rims, manifolds and brake booster. A little bit at a time. One day it will be completed.

Its funny you mention that because I was really torn about if I'd like them but now that they're on there I'm pretty happy with them.

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

I used RTV silicon to glue the round gasket to the heater box, after test fitting it to my truck cab. (I am OCD on some things).

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

Put my new plug wires in to chase down a "phantom"fluttering. Next will be to replace my electronic conversion module. I think that is what's causing the problem.
Also, my son installed my new stereo setup yesterday. I've had everything but the amp for some time, but finally bought it. It sounds great.

A little trick i learned might help you here. Rub a little vaseline around that rim lip to prevent paint from sticking there. then clean it up with degreaser when youre finished. Looks good though.

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

In the last 10 days I dropped a 454/turbo 400 in place and bolted it up. New cab mount bushing along with core supports. Hung the doors, front fenders, hood back in place and loaded all the little bits up in the back of bed getting ready to move in the next month.
Kinda forgot how good the old girl looks pre-build.
Wish the whole truck looked like the bed.

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

I took pics of the completed heater box but those didn't download to the computer for some reason.

I hope to put the theater box on the truck tomorrow...weather is a bit stormy today.

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

Painted my new-to-me 402.

As received


prepped (degreased, sanded, degreased some more) and primed (2 coats)


3 coats of orange


After 2 coats of clear and put back together. Will look even better with the orange valve covers back on. Undecided on painting the intake orange or not. Can decide later.


Cleaned up the extra set of rallys, got 'em all for $200CAD/$150USD. To mount the drag radials on for track visits.
