Re: What did you do with your truck today, Part 3
Got some spots missed in my patches all welded up, then went to the holes in the drivers side floor that I hadn't seen before, made some patches, and now I have to re-think the whole thing. Do I replace the floor, do I make a new one, do I buy a repro, hmmmmmmmm

Re: What did you do with your truck today, Part 3
With coming home late, going out and voting with the wire and taking my evening walk, didn't get much done but got my "five minutes" in. Went to the hardware store and got flat stock to make the nuts on the back of my hinges, cut it into four pieces ready to go. I also got some Ospho on the inside of the metal pieces I will be installing on the back of the cab.
I have to tell you guys again, I never heard of anything like this until just a year or two ago. "Oil" reduces friction but this "cutting fluid" helps with tapping, or cutting, or drilling, it's friggin amazing stuff!  I was cutting this 1/4" thick flat stock with my air saw and it was taking a bit, I put a drip of "Tap Magic" on it and wham it started cutting much faster, amazing! Brian

At half time in the NBA Finals game 3 I got out to the garage! I got these nuts made and welded in to the back side of the hinge mounts. I did this to use that back bolt for fine tuning of the door fit. They used that bolt on the later trucks and cars, Don't know why they didn't on these. The other photo is of the horrible factory work. It amazes me that I never spotted this before, maybe I did 20 years ago. Anyway, I can't leave it, I will be making a patch to clean that up too.

Re: What did you do with your truck today, Part 3
[QUOTE=mobileortho;8278459]Thanks. I’ve been tinkering with several of these injection setups over the years myself. This one is bolted to a basic 260 horse crate engine I wanted to wake up a bit so the head & cam should do the trick. I’m guessing about 325hp with the swap.
mine is similar to yours but carbed. im going to do some gears , head/cam and try to get close to 375hp. its running so well that I don't want to touch it right now though. nothing major until the weather sucks again. motor wise all im going to do anytime soon is to install a larger cooling fan. its hot in Oklahoma and I have what look like a 13 inch fan. not getting hot though. |

Re: What did you do with your truck today, Part 3

Re: What did you do with your truck today, Part 3
Sorry, no photos. Just got out there and put in my "five minutes" grinding some welds smooth and removing what was left of the windlace channels, getting it a step closer to getting some primer on it.

Re: What did you do with your truck today, Part 3
I really didn't think I was going to get any garage time today. however I was determined to do something. when I was walking past the truck coming in from a family dinner I saw my repaired fender on the ground and decided it was time. I got the fender sitting on there with most of the underside bolts in loose. im going to the hardware store tomorrow to get some matching button head bolts to use on all the visible parts. will have the fender buttoned up tomorrow. happy about that.

I got out there today and did a bunch more little things all over the cab getting it ready for some primer and weld in a few more panels. I got it out and sand blasted more, OMG that is hard work, geeez. Brian
