'72 Fremont truck, early in the production year. That's looking really nice!

Oh yeah, I went to a local car show. Lots of vehicles, from over 90 years to the present. I remember when a Model T ford was only a few decades old.

Got my AM tuner unfrozen, got my BT unit and speaker switch mounted.
Next we find out if the AM unit works with the speakers....if it still works at all ;-)

They look very nice and can't wait to see them on your truck.

Thank you, it came out all right for a fully homebuilt truck.

Did a lot of running around but managed to get the front sway bar painted and the new bushings installed

Finished up the power steering install by securing the lines and re-installing the inner fender. Wife and I took it on about an hour drive. Now on to finishing up the rear bumper.

Neat process.
I had a crack in the drivers side manifold of the 454 BBC in my '67 K/10 Sub. I tried JB Weld. Unlike the claims on the package side, it burned off after a while.
There were Ram Horn exhausts on the small block in my '71 GMC Jimmy when I bought it. After It sucked a couple of valves [#6 + #7], I bought a Mr Goodwrench crate motor 350. I noticed the exhausts were different. The RH one had tapped bores for A.I.R. but the LH was pre-Emissions. I didn't like the possibility of different backpressures, so I got Headman headers.

Pulled the TKX 5 spd, clutch and bellhousing off my engine to prep for the 6 speed I am adding . . .

Finished up the fabrication part of my rear bumper build and got it in primer. A light sanding and paint is on the agenda next with plans for an install this weekend.

I tried and my welding guy tried to weld up the crack . No go the cast is so porous it just opens up . So it looks like a new set is in order . I even painted the passenger side .
