What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

THANX ! .

When I worked in a heavy Duty Truck Shop 30 years ago , all the mechanics had Chevy pickups with 350's in them and they were always going on about the cylinder heads they'd found , factory ones with bigger valves and better porting .

I like to build low compression engines that breathe well , they're unburstable and very fun to drive .

I don't care about stop light drags , I run em hard and fast in the Desert and canyons .

Finally on the ground after starting the dissassembly 4 months ago, only thing left to do is everything!

2 day brake job/bearing re-pack. New pads, shoes, turned rotors. Put new shocks on the front. No calipers or wheel cylinders leaking, just had to dip a little fluid out of the frt. reservoir on the master cyl. to compensate for the thickness of the new pads. Good pedal, stops nice n straight.
