Finished installing electric fan setup earlier in the week. Spent Sunday reversing the wiring to get both fans pulling air in, instead of one pulling and one pushing. They work great now. Bought tach and circuit board from Byrd(board member). Just a little something to look forward to next weekend?

Was raining off and on all weekend, so not a dang thing done on the truck.

Did make a trip up to Sonora, CA over the weekend, spied a few trucks parked in fields, etc.. Decided to get a cheap digital to throw pic's and locations (rough locations) up on the board when I travel..

Hopefully will be able to start my bodywork this coming week/weekend, and am sure I will have TONS of questions..

Pulled the motor and tranny out of the GTX. The motor turned out to be a little more than I was wanting. TRW 12.5 to 1 pistons, 10 inch 4500 stall converter. Looks like I'll need more new parts than I thought.

New intake and carb on Friday; Helped get buddy's new Silverado stuck in the snow on Saturday (and eventually out, thanks to an 8-ton winch and a 2-ton F#@d). Helped the oldest daughter build her own "hot rod" today. Yes, that's the ECE 4/6 drop kit ans 22's on that block of wood :lol:

Well after getting over a real bad hangover Friday morning toomanytoyz his brother and I commenced to stripping out a 78 1 ton 3+3 4x4 that I had been parting out. After loading it on his trailer later that evening I went to the hospital to receive 13 stitches in my hand due to getting it caught in the knuckle of the Dana 44 that went back under the truck. Saturday I went back to work at the rail yard.

Still knee deep redoing my garage. Hope to find a floor this week so I can get some actual work done to the truck one of these days...

Re: What did you get done? 4/22/07
 

well lets see. Friday i finished my led brake lights (version 2.0) Now have 120 led's instead of the old 85. They are more organized now that i used the perfboard. Changed the resistors too so they are a little brighter.

Saturday i painted one more wheel and had the tire switched out. Wire brushed and painted the rear bumper. Sanded and primered the tailgate. And i Cut off the old ratty exhaust. Dad mocked up the passenger side rocker panel too. Im afraid when people see the truck for sale, they are going to be like " well looks like someone gave this kid some white spray paint". The wheels and bumper kinda stick out :D

I got my GMPP Vortec heads installed. Also installed my Comp Cam. I'm taking next week off to work on the engine and get it back together. Taking my time and having fun.

Drove 80 miles south to Colorado Springs and picked up a complete 71' disc front end...cross member, calipers, rotors, sway bar, power steering box...the whole front enchilada! Thanks Ernest!

Friday I pulled the tranny out of the 87 S-10 I drug home last month. Looks like the PO's didn't have the t/c seated in the tranny and tightened the bellhousing to the engine. The bellhousing is now shattered, time to hit the U-Pull it for another tranny. Saturday pulled the engine out of the 70 GMC and put the aluminum intake and did some minor stuff to it. Pulled the booster off and fitted the booster and m/c of an 84 on it. Like the looks of the aluminum m/c way better and hopefully it will work much better. Gotta practice my flares to install the front brake lines from the 84 on.

Brought my frame and bed home from my dad's house on saturday. And from what it looks like so far (just guessing cause I don't have the rear suspension in at all) man it's gonna be lower than I thought! It won't be in the weeds but there's no doubt that it's low. I also remebered the previous owner had covered the bottom of the bed with road tar so that will have to be cleaned off. It kept it from rusting but ,,,,,,

Helped a buddy and his dad move a 59 willy's wagon they just finished painting and had a b-day party for my ten year old on sunday.

Pulled the rear axles out of a '74 5 lug rear to go in the '69, that bolt that breaks off in the 3rd member that holds the large pin makes a big hammer happy! Helped the wife mow the yard and relax a little.

Re: What did you get done? 4/22/07
 

Got the windows tinted in the truck on Tuesday. Finally got the nerve up, and drilled the holes in the doors for my new GM sport mirrors on Saturday. Sunday, my brother in law came over, and we fabricated and installed a 6 point roll cage in the Centsless Racing Jeep. I will get some pics and post them tomorrow.
