What did you do to your truck today!

[07SSSC]

I finished my fuel cell install yesterday and put the bed back on.

Coincedently, anyone ever have a brand new Summit cell leak around the fittings right out of the box?

Today I got most of the wiring done for my (on the cheap) electric fan setup, more info to come on that. Also cleaned up/tucked and retaped a lot of wiring, found a lovely twisted/soldered/duct taped and electrical taped mess at the battery for the wire running to the fuse block. My grandpa switched it to sidepost and had some "interesting" fixes to say the least. Gonna grab a new terminal tomorrow and redo it correctly.

i look at it and then took it for a ride

[dabruce15]

Installed a late model steering wheel, even got the horn to work, and replaced the track bar and new bushings.

[DorianB]

Tried to pick up some used tires to last until I save up to get some new rims. Tires plus guy said the rubber that was on my truck was from 68, they had to come look since no one knnew what size 7.00 15LT was

[Marc33]

didnt actually work on the truck, but picked up the new motor from the machine shop, and bought the headers, fuel pump and the carb. Dropped of trans to be built. Should be done on thursday.

This weekend, time to install the motor!!

[Scott Webster]

Installed rear tires, double checked for leaks (still leaks out behind the yoke). Centered the backend with the adjustable panhard bar. Dropped down and backed out of the garage just to drive it a little. I love the sound of open headers. Sucks that it leaks.

New shoes, .............

[Hubscrub]

went and got it at the alignment shop,tinkered on it, and drove it to supper for our 2nd anniversary and as we were leaving my wife got stung in the face by red wasp there was a nest in the door jamb but it made her sit next to me going home

[trusty72]

pulled the gas tank, cleaned out the orange gas and put it back in. now i wish i had a new sending unit

[K2Orion]

I installed my parts from mgbmike. New filter sock and fuel sender float. I'm trying to avoid pulling the tank, cause if'n I do, I ain't gunna put er back. I definitely switch to an under bed tank of some sort and I know how much work that will be.
Thanks Mike.

Very nice Hart Rod!

As for me, I got quite mad and gave up, nothing went right. Shoulda known it was gonna be a lousy evening when my Cobalt randomly died on me and wouldn't restart coming through town, had to pop the clutch to get to to run again.... What an evening. Grrrrr

[oldblue1968chevy]

cut rust out, tomorow is f/r cab suports then cleaning, triming everything to match and REASSEMBLY! Then drivers side, windshield area and put it back together and NEVER TOUCH IT AGAIN!

(My DD and i cant keep my paws offa it!)

Doesn't matter what I do to my truck on a given day as long as I bleed on it when the task is done.

[Number98]

Boxing up extra parts......

I would rather be run over by my truck than move

[Scott Webster]

Replaced pinion seal and did some reading in a book about chevys.

[dyingdeadman]

replaced master cylnder,put drive shaft back in and took it for a very short drive down the block and back.

[67Slider]

Stripped the interior and sanded some firewall. Found some rust( big surprise)[IMG][/IMG]
Nothing that can't be fixed......

By someone who knows how to do body work...

[07SSSC]

Yesterday I got my electric fan setup all completed, works right and pulls a lot of air. Tonight I'll install some misc. parts I got from Classic Parts and probably connect the fuel gauge and fuel cell, kinda important since I drove it to work today with no idea how much gas is in it. Also gotta figure out how to route the dang exhaust so the panhard bar quits smashing it up against my bumper over every bump.

[Thealien]

Started it, drove it, tightened an AN fuel fitting.

The 5.3 is alive!

[aggieguy713]

took a shot at welding for the first time with dads help, did the trim holes, and several other holes in the fender and door. Pics are bad, but i know how you guys are pic hounds.

[oldblue1968chevy]

nice aggie guy any more pics? i just learned to weld up holes a week or so ago!

THE AMAZING FUEL PUMP EXPERIENCE.
Yea well...here's the thing. My 72 started missinig yesterday, loss of power, but idled fine. Hmmmm...(Thinking) AH AH..."Fuel Pump" my wife beat me to it. Good guess I said.
But I was thinking the same. She spoke first. Drats! I've taught her too much.
Limp home to see fuel leaking from the weep hole on fuel pump. Amazing diagnosis. We don't always get it right the first time do we?!
You can guess what I did to my truck today. Later dudes...

[Scott Webster]

Finished tightening bolts and topped off differential. Put the exhaust on since people around here just don't appreciate my 355 idling with open headers like I do. Dropped it down and appreciated the stance with 2"drop in back. Fixed reverse light problem - had a couple wires reversed. If the weather is nice tomorrow I'm filling it up with lumber for the next project for the house. man I missed having my truck!

[55Nomad]

I put in a new HEI distributor today....bypassing all the mutant spliced and diced wiring with a simple toggle.
