Nice! My dad did lettering and hand pinstriping on vehicles. I don't have that dexterity. I'm more of a 2# hammer kind of guy.

Is he your Shotgun Rider in the HOV Lane?
[*On the I-10 in PHX, to use the fast lane [High Occupancy Vehicle] you have to have at least one passenger. Drivers with big St Bernards, Stuffed Pandas, and Mannequins, etc. have been cited.]

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
Adjusted the TV cable to the new 700R4.
Made three adjustments and found a comfortable setting @ 20 MPH. Shifts and downshifts smoother, eliminating the slightly hard shift between 1st and 2nd. I feel confident to now put some extended miles on the truck.

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
Thanks Mark,
Time has indeed flown by since we met. I think everyone can agree that its been a pain and a pleasure putting these trucks together. Im retired now so my list is getting shorter. Are our trucks ever really done? Thanks to your generosity and involvement with this great forum/web site, I checked off one upgrade item of the restoration. A visit at the next swap meet up North is in order? Thanks again

Haha, your upside down pic had me wondering what I was seeing until I flipped it over. I've built hundreds of turbos since the late '70s, and every shift shaft has a sharp raised edge where the flats for the shift lever are milled. I KNOW you didn't pull the shaft out to do this, but they should be dressed before the shaft is pulled through the case during rebuild to keep from cutting up the shaft bore. Why GM didn't spec that to be beveled is a mystery to me. I deburred all of the ones I did(before they came through the case), but every now and then I would get one in that had been driven through the case that hadn't been deburred. It leaves a nasty gouge in the bore, and usually ruins the seal if it goes back in without being dressed. Hopefully that shaft was deburred properly in the past. I do have to ask, why all the blue silicone on the pan? Was that a problem with those pans, leaking? We never used silicone on pan gaskets, went together dry, usually cork. Looks clean under there! |

It's been a while since I've done a 350, and I don't think that blue silicone gasket was made back then. But I have used one similar to this one pictured when we couldn't get a standard cork, or black neoprene gasket to seal. That's not a terrible price on that blue gasket if that's what it takes! Hah, I gotta say, I don't miss all the headache, haha. I like that truck! |
