What did you do to your truck today!

Here is a few pictures of the '67 swb GMC I helped my son put the hood on yesterday.

My son is in the background of one of the pictures taking a picture with his cell phone.

Well its time to work on the grill. I removed the center and coated it with oven cleaner. Wow that stuff works great. I have sanded it down with 600 grit where scratches were bad and now I am sanding it with 800 grit, wet sanding the whole way. I think I will go with 1000 grit and see how it looks. I am putting the windshield and slider in this weekend. Should be stasrring the truck next week.

Guess I did not know you could sand the grill to shine like that by wet sanding using 800 to 1000 sand paper....looks nice good job.

It still needs to be buffed. I painted around headlights today and working on plastic grill. Anyone know if I should paint leading edge of plastic grill.

The driver side lock mechanism was stuck so I lubed everything and found a broken spring in the door handle. The lock & handle work fine now even with the busted spring.

Next up is a headlight warning buzzer (NAPA 7821637).

Decided it was time to tackle some tranny leaks! I have been working on these trucks for years but transmissions are one place I'm very weak at , that said I'm very happy with the result. The truck is a 71 C-20 402/400 , leak at the modulator so I pulled it and when I called the local parts store they had one in stock and it was $6 so that was a no brainer! Next came the speedo assembly, I managed to remove it without breaking anything, brought the whole thing to a tranny shop where they put all new seals in it right there and charged me $10, so both leaks were repaired the same day for under $30 without breaking anything! I know this is long winded but seldom do things go this smooth.

yesterday I completed 90% of the new efi fuel system. I had to add a return and make some fitting/end changes, which ultimately wound up in my removing all the 1/2" aluminum tube and -8 AN fittings and s.s. hose...and replacing with -6 AN s.s. hose and fittings.

today..finish the fuel system, install a few sensors...and on to wiring!

[dukcaln]

found a plug wire resting on the header...... nice burnt wire so I replaced with a longer set that can actually route better..... running pretty good so wonder how long that was going on!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[oldgold70c10]

Finished testing my modified speedometer.

[bollybib]

I installed a lights on warning buzzer.

So do you wire to chime then to lights?

[JHT67]

Put on my temp historical tag and insurance, so now I'm legal, then off to the grocery store for a short cruise.

Got it installed, Finishing up all the little things

Test fit some smoothies I bought from a board member.
They aren't going on this truck, but I wanted to see what they looked like.

They will be going on the red GMC one of these days! Just waiting on a 4/6 drop and some other goodies.

It looks like I need a taller wider tire for the back. I guess a 275/45/20 will have to work since the rims are 8.5" wide.

[67cheby]

Looks great !

Had a high beam out so I installed new headlights. I haven't done anything with the wiring but thought I'd try silverstar headlights anyway...HUGE difference!!!
