What did you do to your truck today! - Page 32 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Sonicman · 09-07-2010, 08:24 PM

Went to a machine shop to inquire about having my L6 head cleaned up. When I got back to the truck it wouldn't start.....

The mechanic came out and gave me a jump. Then I replaced the alternator. What a better place to need a jump than mechanic shop.

Todd Hepler · 09-07-2010, 08:50 PM

Painted my control arms with POR-15.
I think I am still loopy from the fumes!

Changed my cam and lifters. Easy job everything went perfect. Nothing went wrong.....NOT. What a pain in the but. If I ever have to do this again I will pay someone to do it.

Took the plunge and ordered the 69 camaro gas tank kit. Got the tank, sending unit, straps, lock ring/o ring and the anti-squeak kit for $194.00. Will relocate the filler to behind the license plate.

OhioDan · 09-11-2010, 02:27 AM

Re-installed clutch return spring. Was looking under my truck for something, and saw the spring had come loose from the frame. Slid(? forced) my big fat behind

under the truck and put it back on. Thought the clutch pedal felt funny.

Todd Hepler · 09-11-2010, 07:49 AM

Got my front cross member painted.
4 a arms and a cross member and I have only used 1/4 quart of por-15. This stuff sure goes a long way!

*Shane* · 09-11-2010, 04:13 PM

re-installed the transmission ... yay! no leaks!

**Stocker** · 09-11-2010, 05:42 PM

Re-installed a steering stabilizer I had just cleaned up & re-painted. While I had the creeper out, I changed oil & filter and greased all the zerks.

Nothing exciting, but it needed done....

Hubscrub · 09-11-2010, 07:04 PM

built the lower end of my motor for the 67

Rob H. · 09-11-2010, 09:08 PM

Started redoing the brake system on the 72. Then went and took a look at a 69 for parts, yes it followed me home tonight.

Street Lethal '72 · 09-11-2010, 09:16 PM
