Got some more of my door rubber installed.

This is lame but I can't help myself, I drove mine to work today. That's always good.

I installed an OG 69 Guide Right side turn signal lens that I found on eBay. The old one was broken and then patched up with epoxy that yellowed.

I put a cigarette lighter into the socket. I bought a lighter assembly that came from a GMC from tll74 on this here site. I needed a lighter to fill the empty hole in the dash. It matches my Chebby just fine.

Jeffs70 · 03-02-2011, 10:14 PM

worked on the finishing touches to gather a shape to my center console

You can say that again about the gas, it nuts over here, we are paying $1.18 per litre (there is about 41/2 litre to a gallon here) do the math..it bites.

Sonicman · 03-03-2011, 10:47 AM

Replace a bad exhaust/intake gasket on my 250 L6. There was an exhaust leak that sounded terrible. I repainted my shorty headers since they were off.

jjtackleberry · 03-03-2011, 03:27 PM

Found out my trans filler tube is leaking at the trans....

Now trying to figure out how to fix it...

Try to find one of the newer sleeve type seal filler tubes to replace the old O-ring style one on your truck. They run around $30 new.

I have made my own from junk yard donor parts when I couldn't get a new one to fit my needs. Cut off the sleeve type seal from the donor part and weld it to the original O-ring type tube. You have to cut some length off of the original tube to seat the seal properly and get the right fluid level reading.

LadyBird · 03-03-2011, 07:10 PM

Pulled the tired 350 and 465 trans out of my stepside this afternoon. Also sprayed down the engine bay and un bolted the radiator support. Makin some progress!

Sinister · 03-03-2011, 08:03 PM

Fixed my aftermarket wiper washer pump. Simple fix, needed to come apart and a quick lube to the pump mechanism.

wwotr · 03-05-2011, 08:50 PM

Cleared out all my used items from "RATIKLE", that I'll be putting up in the "For Sale" Section, this weekend, and took photos of each item!

flashed · 03-03-2011, 09:17 PM

Drove it for the last time possibly this year. She is coming apart for rust repair.

Scott Webster · 03-04-2011, 01:13 AM

Bought some Stabil for it. Sat in it.

mmmBoost · 03-04-2011, 01:19 AM

Ordered 2- 20 circut wiring harnesses from EzWiring.com for my 68 c20/10 and one for my Dad's 41 4x4

Brainchild · 03-04-2011, 01:28 AM

Got my van running so it can have a rest. Right now it has a couch and a half rick of wood in the back. It does what it was intended to do. Work!

Jeffs70 · 03-04-2011, 04:27 AM

started to shave my Front Rain Gutters/Drip Rails above my windshield (I know it starts out looking like an ugly Job LOL)
