What did you get done? 4/22/07 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

1969k10stepside · 04-22-2007, 06:34 PM

I mowed the yard.Spread some more gravel down the driveway.I cleaned up the yard a bit.Put the heads back on the motor for the '71.I took the bed off the 71 and started pulling the drivers side panel off it so it can go on the new bed I bought for it.

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?

lbpd719 · 04-22-2007, 06:44 PM

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..

BB72CHEVKT · 04-22-2007, 06:46 PM

Movew the yard as well. Cooked. Drank.

ratrod67 · 04-22-2007, 06:55 PM

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.

cdowns · 04-22-2007, 07:01 PM

been doing brake work / made up rear brake lines installed new cylinders shoes cleaned and greased the emergency cablesetc waiting to get a couple of small parts tues to call the rears done

chevyboy55 · 04-22-2007, 07:09 PM

Got the bed primed & block sanded. Now it should just be one more shot of primer & then a final blocking of the cab & bed & it will be ready for paint!
It's only been 10 months.

Hard to be patient but when your getting a paint job for free ya learn

65-72 chevytoys · 04-22-2007, 07:57 PM

Finally got around to installing the new master cylinder, bleed the lines, cleaned all the old brake fluid that leaked all over the floorboard and reinstalled the carpet. THen took the truck to Goodguys this weekend.

Captain Knievel · 04-22-2007, 08:35 PM

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

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.

Did some yeard clean up and moved the Lab to a diffeent kennel. Put a block under the new seat in the 71 to keep it level and not rocking forward. Washed the truck and took some pictures.(they Sucked)

AR15DEFENSE · 04-22-2007, 09:10 PM

got my bed off, and took a short nap under the truck. here's my 1 man cab lift..

Spent thursday and friday eve. digging up the old gravel driveway
spent saturday pouring concrete (too old for that) and hanging sheetrock
(too old for that too)
used the truck for hauling tools
oh some possible good news a friend of my wife wants to sell her 70something
PU with a 434 (?) and bad trans . I'm hoping thats a 454 we'll see !

corn · 04-22-2007, 09:47 PM

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...

19673ontree · 04-22-2007, 09:58 PM

finally got to some primer , block it , prime it , block it , prime it , ohh yea then block it , prime it , block it ,

724x4a/cchevy · 04-22-2007, 09:54 PM

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

Today i helped dad get ready to take what's left of a 55 chevy 4 door sedan to the scrappers.

lookin good

gator2511 · 04-22-2007, 10:49 PM

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.

ChevyDude · 04-22-2007, 11:11 PM

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!

krue · 04-22-2007, 11:21 PM

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.

Rokcrln · 04-22-2007, 11:29 PM

Added more color to Lemon Drop! Getting so close I can taste it! Oh wait that might just be some clear cote I inhaled

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.
