What did you do to your truck today!

[magwakeenercew2jh]

Went to the DMV in Mariposa, CA today. It started snowing and stayed snowy for about three hours. Nice spring!!!

Got the plates.

Swapped out the Holley 750 dp for a Holley 670 Street Avenger. New plugs and played with the timing. She runs like a raped ape now!

I had the Street Avenger. It was a Fantastic Carb!

Looked at the numbers on my engine block today when doing a tune-up and much to my dismay found out the previous owner was wrong about it being a 350, it's actually a 305. No offense to those of you that like the 305, but I really hate that motor and for no particular reason. But it will have to work until I can find the money and time for a replacement. Oh well though, at least it runs ok, so far.

Yeah I understand.. I had a 305 that ran great for years in a Monte Carlo...but its the jerks that come up to you and asks if you have a 350 under there..haha

[SSchevimp]

pulled the old tired 350 out due to a rear leaking freeze plug

I put 60/40 seats out of a 98 tahoe, in my truck today.

Bought a set of four Goodrich TA Radials and a new set of orignal style Torq Thrust wheels for the Circuit Rider.

I just installed a set of 40/20/40 seats from a 2001 GMC pickup i found on CL for $80 in my '69 c10, they fit like a glove! I also found this little gem on CL as well, came with the innards, headlight bezels, and mounting hardware.

Well, a small step I guess. I replaced the suction hose on the fuel pump on the '71, the old one was collapsing.

Of course as always no matter how careful I was my right arm took a bath in gasoline.

Got the "Beast" started for the first time this year and took a short drive exercising the 454. Now since I parked the "Beast" in a carport instead of the garage I can clean out and re-organize the garage some so I can work on various vehicle projects including the "Beast".

I am posting a pictures, on of the "Beast" and the other of the '86 4-Runner I am going to do some maintenance and body work.

Nothing today. Sunny California in springtime.
Trees down. Power off.

Randy sent me a replacement panel for the rear quarter on mine..

[bollybib]

I felt I needed to keep the cab covered because the truck is outdoors and unprotected most of the time. I salvaged an old torn-up cover I used on the Granada for a few years. I almost threw it away not long ago (the cover, not the Granada). I patched the rips and holes with material cut from the trunk area. I made a fold to make it cab-length and then wrapped the cab like a package. It stayed on pretty good in the stiff winds we had recently. The truck is sitting in shade in the pic, but it's usually out in the sun. Good enough for now.

went and removed the front fenders, core support and grille off a 67 chevy to put on my 72 gmc. LIVRAT is going to trade me a gmc core support for the chevy core support. the truck was amazingly solid for how many floods that it had been through. heck the core support was the best part from the truck. i also mashed the tip of my ring finger trying to get one of the bolts broke loose. the grille is going to become wall art. now all i need is a hood and i'll be good to go

[wwotr]

After sitting in my Garage for over a year, I took "new" parts into my Body Man to put on.

New:
Front & Rear Bumpers
Door Sills
Left/Right Eye Brows

Then he took my old grill off so I can use some Zip Strip,
to take off the Black Paint.
Then I'll be using 0000 Steel Wool for Clean-up.
Then it's back to him for installation.

Installed my 06 Yukon seats... no pics too dark....

[6772owner]

I helped a friend move yesterday (Saturday) so I borrowed my dad's enclosed trailer and took the 72' out. The truck did great, love the air bags, nice to have the trans temp gauge for peace of mind.

Heres the only pic I snapped w/my phone.

If that's a spintec...it's gonna sound SICK!

Yes they are Spintech Super Pro Streets, i'm excited to hear them I figure they should sound pretty good.

I also picked up a 700r4 with converter this past weekend at Englishtown Swapmeet. Got it for $140.00 with 80k miles on it. Going to see how it runs then rebuild it before i put any big power to it. Fluid was really good in it and not burnt, transmission is in really good shape came out of an 1988 Caprice. Will just do a tune up and new seals in it for now.

[Stocker]

I discovered that my spare -- original, I believe -- contained no air. I have not checked it in a great many years. If it loses air, as I expect it to, I'll be shopping for a wheel & tire....

[1low]

Welded up the fuel filler neck hole.

[Rob H.]

Pulled the carb off the 72, took it apart checked all the internals cleaned out the crud, runs alot better just have to fine tune it back in now and find another gas tank, throw in the seat and insure and license it. Then I'm gonna use it like it was meant to be, working on rust as I go.

Painter got the first coat of primer on today.
