What did you do to your truck this week?

[grs]

Tried to install a pair of aftermarket horns on my 87. I will work on it again tomorrow.

[Palf70Step]

Finished making brackets to mount my 92 seat in the 83. Worked on dash pad pieces and remounted the dash pad.

[bigwheel15]

Spent the eleventy billionth day cleaning years of dirt and grease from my engine bay and painting everything. Still not done but getting close.

[StepAside]

Roasted the tires a few times!!! Gotta breaker in! ha

[HotRodScottsdale]

cleaned it and tried again to tighned the rad hose, some what worked, dam she blinds me when the sun hits it

[my4by2]

Well, can't exactly say that I got it done as I am over 7,000 miles away from my truck, but it did get done this week never-the-less...

I mocked my front clip up this week to see how she would look. I still expect the front end to drop another inch or so after fluids are added and the coils settle.

Do you have the phone number for Massy's ?

I lost a exhaust manifold bolt some how.........LOL

[81chevylongbed]

Just got done putting in a new th350 tranny after my old one was trashed.

[85burb]

I set my a/f ratio, timing, idle speed. I also installed a used seat belt in the passenger side rear that has ben sitting in my closet for a year. Tryed to to install the driver side rear but i could not get the bolt out. I broke a craftsman tourqs bit and twisted a snapon bit and managed to strip the bolt head out. So it is going to take some kind witch craft to get it out.

That's a long way! Be safe!!

[grs]

I put the front bumper on, the rear window in, the cowl in, the rear tail light lenses in, and the out side mirrors on the truck.

[Reziel_1983]

Worked on building my engine a little. Got the pistons, cam/lifters, timing chain and heads on!

Broke a few leaf springs, busted what was left of my passenger side cab mounts... Remind me why it's important to look things over before going out in the woods.

I actually get to be part of one of these threads for the first time in a while.

My task for the weekend was to replace a leaky and plain WORN OUT radiator. Thing had barely any fins left. Found a LOT of rust rot and a multi-piece core support, I will likely need to replace that some time next spring. Should get me thru the winter at least.

Did get the radiator in and secured pretty solid, surprising enough. Found today that I have to slap a new radiator cap on, my old one is leaking now. This new radiator has plastic ends, where the previous was still metal. Was proud of myself that I remembered to add a short length of hose to the radiator drain, which will definitely help control the flow of coolant next time I have to drain it out.

Also got my fiberglass camper shell back on the truck after my DIY paintjob. Truck and topper all the same color now, been years since I've been rolling in THAT much style, LOL! Bed rug back in place, but still need to re-connect the wiring for the topper interior light.

[grs]

Got my truck back home from being painted. Then I bolted the spare tire in the bed. Will post picks in a day or two.

Truck started chugging and generally running really rough, so last night after work I checked the plugs, found one that was really gross and replaced it, problem solved. Was on a roll, so I went ahead and adjusted my timing because it was a little off, fiddled with the carb a little, fixed an exhaust rattle, and had a beer...all in all, a productive night =)

Sounds like an issue I'm having. How do I adjust the timing? And what "fiddling" did you do on the carb? Thanks
