What did you do to your truck today part III - Page 90 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

HackJob65 · 04-18-2016, 11:34 PM

Got a little closer to wrapping up front suspension and disc swap CPP drop spindles and 3" drop springs Summit 6lug rotors

Had to replace my radiator. A friend of mine had one laying around. Only differences are;
Drain is on opposite side and the overflow nipple points towards right side, so will have to have it turned around for overflow bottle. Has anyone used a radiator from Classic Industries? If so does if look original and how is the fit?

Put wide whitewalls on her today. Getting ready to paint her. Just picked her up a few days ago. Also waiting on my oak wood bed kit to show up. Got several other things to do to her.

Got great deal on some stuff

http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=704301

-Standard rebuilt 72' 250..0 miles!
-Muncie M20 wide? 4 speed w/ mounts for floor shifter?
-Saginaw 3 speed w/floor shifter

Engine and both trans' are clean and rebuilt/resealed

Currently SM318 in the truck
Thinking about the 4 spd (as it also has syncro 1st?)
But need shorter drive shaft(does it has to be made or is there a direct swap out?)

Hopefully engine will go in and be broken in this coming Wed!
So much rain on my days off lately

Finally hooked up my fuel fill. Now we will see if it works good enough to really use. I tacked it in for now.

Got my Grant adapter and Moon wheel installed then found the passenger side vent shade that was buried and got it installed too

I absolutely love that.

It's exactly what I have planned for mine, not in the corner at the moment.

Do you have any pics of the process and underside please?

**Backpayne** · 04-23-2016, 08:48 AM

I dumped 4 quarts of oil into the engine before I realized the drain plug was not in. I'm an idiot.

It is just molded rubber gas hose. I got it at http://www.fillernecksupply.com/ther...FUiPfgod5H4IuQ It works ok. The tank won't fill all the way up but pretty close.

No. You were just flushing out the old oil. Good job.

Actually, it did need to be flushed. The needle valve in the carb got stuck open and dumped gas in the block.

OldChevy61 · 04-23-2016, 07:51 PM

It has been a long day. Got the motor and trans installed and bolted down then moved on to the cab. Beginning to look like a truck again.

jbgroby · 04-23-2016, 08:48 PM

Getting the end buttoned up.

Cool truck, I've never seen a bell housing with the clutch fork on the passenger side though, I'm confused

Looks nice. FYI, there should only be one 327 decal on the passenger side valve cover. They never put them on the drivers side.

jbgroby · 04-24-2016, 07:26 AM

My original 305 V-6 had the clutch fork on the passenger side.
