Re: What did you get done 8/26/12 edition

Not a hole lot. Sat we drove the burb to the park and then it rained. For got I had a limited slip may have went sideways down a street...... Then Sunday I installed my trans cool correctly. And found I need to replace the hoses for it. Took the wife's truck out for a spin as well.

Re: What did you get done 8/26/12 edition

I put the 2 front mudflaps on my 1986.

Cleaned a horrible mouse nest and 5 dead mice out of the heater on my 1970 GMC. Then I ruined my heater core so I can't reassemble everything until I get a new one.

I picked up my grandpa's old Oliver 77 tractor from my uncle. It wasn't running so I had to winch it on the trailer, but I spend Saturday afternoon cleaning the carb and now it runs!

Helping my dad with combining as well.

Busy weekend, too many projects on the go......but a productive weekend!

Got my 74 torn down (doing a frame off). Swapped the rear end from my other truck and took out the a/c. Putting in a/c unit from a 85, hopefully.

Re: What did you get done 8/26/12 edition

Wow, I see some of us had some very productive weekends! I spent my saturday pulling my t/h350 out to swap out torque converters and input shaft seal. Went from a B&M Holeshot 3000 to a Holeshot 2400. seems a lot more "tame" for the street. But now I can definitely tell I need gears! Has 3:08's in it stock. Ordering 3:42's and a Eaton Posi soon. But I need more $$$$$!...Then again, don't we all?

Spent my sunday morning "recooperating" in the recliner from the 'verter swap, then went to Academy and bought a well needed EZ-UP folding canopy/tent (now i have instant shade!) and a new pair of work boots. after that went home and yanked my old CD player and dash speakers out. Installed my new Kenwood Head unit with USB and AUX jacks in the faceplate! Now I can listen to my music from my phone...flippin sweet!

Pics here in a little while...

Re: What did you get done 8/26/12 edition

Came home Sat. night from a week in SC. to a giant slick of tranny fluid on the garage floor...
Thought I had that fixed with a new seal....Nope.
Cleaned up that mess and cut the lawn.

Re: What did you get done 8/26/12 edition

Worked on the truck for once! New rear brakes, brake line, and parking line cable. Left rear cable was seized. Re-positioned the Caddy seats, driving position is much better.
