What did you do to your truck today! - Page 20 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Nothin on the '69, but got the core support pulled off the wrecked '86 burb I picked up a few months back. Part of the accessory drive will probably end up on my '69 so that counts towards this thread, the engine will go into my '84 Trans Am.

bigt76_98 · 07-13-2010, 11:54 PM

got the '70 out today runnin a little hot in this kansas heat and i think the bearings are goin out in the water pump

mgkgmc · 07-14-2010, 01:40 AM

Took my bench seat out today to get redone. New springs,foam and material...cant wait to see it finished.

Tomahawk30 · 07-14-2010, 02:07 AM

Installed the new woodgrain dash bezel!

**Shock_Me** · 07-14-2010, 06:03 AM

Installed a new fuel pump on the Blazer. Pretty simple job

danielwetpaint · 07-14-2010, 06:59 AM

On my 1974 GMC,, I swapped the 3:73 12 bolt rear end for a 3:31 geared 12 bolt rear end,,plus completely re-did the brakes.
Man what a difference! My little 250 6 cylinder went from buzzin' 3 grand down to a little over 2.

Lippyp · 07-14-2010, 12:43 PM

As the weather has been too rubbish to finish up the engine wiring I've been ripping off the tints from the windows between rain showers, the side windows were almost limo black, a real PITA to drive after dark and also illegally dark now here so they have to go before I get tugged by Plod and made to rip them off at the roadside. The rear window had only had the two sliding bits tinted and obviously at a different time to the sides as it was much thinner and had gone purple with age and the side windows were not well done and actually had a patch on them. The film came off easily, the glue has used up half a can of cellulose paint thinners so far to remove but it is coming off nicely.

Looked cool when parked up but not worth the hassle.

67Slider · 07-14-2010, 10:54 PM

Finished wiring the engine back in. Bench bled the new MC and repainted my booster cause the old MC bled all over it.

Hubscrub · 07-14-2010, 10:57 PM

cleaned up and painted battery tray for the 67

07SSSC · 07-15-2010, 12:26 AM

Removed the alt and ps pump along with all the associated bracketry and the water pump pulley of the '69. Removed the alt, ps pump, A.I.R. pump, a/c compressor, water pump pulley and crank pulley off the burb. Gonna start mock up tomorrow, gotta figure out a cool/clean way to alter the ps brackets to work though.

Hubscrub · 07-17-2010, 07:22 PM

painted my bumper, installed headlight shields and finally painted me a shop logo

Thealien · 07-17-2010, 08:08 PM

fixed the cruise control/drove it

vectorit · 07-17-2010, 08:49 PM

Removed my broken hood latch, then went inside and stared at her from inside.

It's 107 degrees outside right now

treeboy97 · 07-17-2010, 09:07 PM

installed new disk brakes and lowered the front 2 inches and the back 4 inches.

Rob H. · 07-17-2010, 09:24 PM

Today nothing, yesterday I moved the 67 so I could mow where it was sitting and put the rear end down hill so the water would drain from the bed. Unfortuneatly it only moves in reverse. The 72 is still sitting in the same spot with the front wheels off and up on blocks, don't have to worry about it's bed holding water, it's rusty enough to be self draining!

Shyguy · 07-17-2010, 09:28 PM

Today, I started the '67 swb stepper and moved it out of the garage so I could work on the ole Jubilee tractor.

I looked at the '71 and said darn one of these days will be your turn.

OhioDan · 07-17-2010, 09:54 PM

Finished the interior. Grandson got me a decal for my birthday, so I had to put it on.

**yote1234** · 07-17-2010, 10:21 PM

DAMN HOT!!!! 103 today in Colorado so I would work a bit and cool off, repeat, repeat and repeat!

Yote1234 - I dig that paint job!!!! Very nice!

bddcustoms · 07-17-2010, 10:53 PM

drilled some spot welds out on the cab -- only had a few minutes to play today.

oldblue1968chevy · 07-17-2010, 11:05 PM

wire wheeled greasy bolts/brackets off gettin' ready for painting sometime soon!

**FRENCHBLUE72** · 07-17-2010, 11:08 PM

I swept around the 72 and am doing brakes right now on the blazer..

**yote1234** · 07-17-2010, 11:08 PM

67slider... your looks great also. so you only hit 103? we hit 116 and at 8.00 pm were still over 100 deg. thats hot... again...nice paint..

willys72fleetside · 07-17-2010, 11:18 PM

Didn't have much time but was able to get the seat adjuster wire run from side to side. Every little bit helps!

marks1972 · 07-17-2010, 11:27 PM
