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

Started the removal of the old cracked sealer and clean up of the drip rail so it can be resealed soon. Also this week, installed a new fan shroud to keep it cool for the summer and got it tuned pretty well now. Of course, I discovered the previous owner had the center link installed backwards, but one thing at time... Lots of things to do, but at least progress is being made.

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

Hey Glenn, if you don't mind me asking, how much did you get for the straight six motor? I have one in good running condition that I'm trying to sell. Thanks.

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

For the 250, I asked $500 and got $350 within a few hours. I kept the flywheel, clutch and alternator. I may have left some money on the table, but I just wanted it to go away quickly. The buyer offered $300 and I countered with $350. I would have taken less.

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

Finally got her out of the weather. Gutted and rebuilt the one car garage. My wife and I started this project over a year ago. But we took some time off to gut and remodel our master bathroom, so this one got delayed. Now safe and secure and dry. Just in time for the rainy season here in Florida.

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

I found these lying under the truck.

It took an hour and a half for them to fall out.

3 cross members, 2 rear shock mounts, 2 rear bump stops, 2 ball joints and 1 Z-bar mount.

A good air hammer, high pressure from the compressor and a new bit made it fairly easy. Thank you Snap On.

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

Finally got my rally's swapped out with the new Cucv blazer rims. Got a lot of input from everyone here before choosing route to go. Hubcaps look great on them as well. Thanks all.

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

I finally took the time to get up under the dash to fix some things.
I hooked up ground wires to the tach an dash panel, and hooked up the wire for my tilt column shift indicator light.
Everything works!
It's been a good day

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

Tried to fix my driver door windows. Welded the pivot post back onto the wing window frame, riveted new seals in, welded the kept nut on the rear window track guide, installed new rollers, and now the window won't roll up past 1/2 way

Maybe tomorrow will be profitable. Today was a loss. Mounted/gapped the hood yesterday, so the week has been 50/50, so far.

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

Awoke this unfinished project and took it for a putt putt through town.

Now that my 4x4 is mobile I need to get back on this.

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

Today, I finished the New Flxplte and Starter Project. When I hit the key
It sounded better than it ever has. It sounds like a new truck. I also put the Power Plate in my carburetor, and man what a difference! now I have to figure out why my ach is reading low still. But that's another project.

x3 on the dual snorkel air cleaner, very nice!!

Got my new drag link and tie rod ends installed, and I'll have the alignment checked next week. Nice to have the 45-year-old steering parts finally replaced.

Yes for sure. Its listed under a 1972 Camaro with a350 4bbl engine as an Air Intake Kit and the Goodmark part # is GMK4021230704SX. You can also get them with achrome lid but I want my truck to look kinda stock under the hood. Was about 175.00 US
