Re: Uncle Loyd's 72' C-10

Good move on the filter sherlock.... And, Oh, you mean back when we used to have people over when it was safe? Oh I already forgot about those days.

Check this video out, the guy is funny but cool DIY to stop a cable end without special tools (besides the lead). Just a thought.

Yeah...not very bright. I look at it this way, I wanted a blue filter anyways. Thanks for the vid. That dude is pretty clever.

Re: Uncle Loyd's 72' C-10

Pulled my injectors last night, wasn't as difficult as I thought it was going to be. After I get the new injectors I'll give it another go and maybe I'll hear that sweet rumble we all crave after so much down time.

Re: Uncle Loyd's 72' C-10

What do you think about running additives to keep her clean being direct injection?

Re: Uncle Loyd's 72' C-10

Here are some pictures of my setup. In the last picture you see the brackets I fabbed to drop the rear brake cables to clear the mufflers. I slid some sections of rubber hose over the cable where it touches crossmembers.

Re: Uncle Loyd's 72' C-10

Thanks man. I see what you are talking about. Your truck is so clean! I can only imagine how awesome a lift would be at the house. Glad to hear that the full length pipes kept it quiet enough for a conversation in the truck, that's what I'm aiming for.
