Bob, good luck on the cancer scan hope it's nothing to worry abut (even though you will, like I would).

This past week I installed an Edelbrock carb #1406 on my daily putt-putt, so nice to have it running clean. I used the Edelbrock stock manifold to carb kit and it made it nice as everything was there for installation. Bought the throttle cable/trans cable studs & it went on with ease. Next is time to lower the truck (finally) and cruise it.

For anyone who is afraid to install a carb on your own, its easy! Gotta love

My neighbor of 15 years passed away Saturday morning, Bill had been sick for the last couple years. He had emphysema and heart issues. I'm going to miss him!

Went to a car show Saturday, nearly 300 cars, trucks, and motorcycles for the 11th annual MDA Roundup to support Jerry's Kids. The Heap won a Top 25 in the 73 and up class.

Spent Sunday catching up on a week's worth of weed eating, grass cutting and garage cleaning.

menace121978 · 08-15-2010, 05:04 PM

few little things... rebuilt the heater box and installed, blasted and painted the wiper arms and installed.

hitcher · 08-15-2010, 06:02 PM

truck is ready to be a daily driver so will be doing just that this week . that means the 97 crew cab will be for sale this week . went down to vernon tx for the big car show/cruise yesterday and as usual was hotter than hell . still a lot to do on the truck but she drives now

BLE 'BURBAN · 08-15-2010, 06:29 PM

New front pads,rotors, bearings & seals put on yesterday. Then it was off to my step-daughters 20th birthday party.

D13 · 08-15-2010, 06:48 PM

Worked Saturday, then came home and hung the valve body on the truck. Buttoned it up this morning and it shifts, sort of. But the diesel busted off on the first crank after sitting for 2 months. And the AC still works! Now I'm getting the barn and garage ready for the new doors. Got a lot of stuff to move in the garage including a tractor like the one in my sig, only in a lot more pieces!

GM72K10 · 08-15-2010, 07:27 PM

bought another CUCV, changed a front fender, removed all the auxilary wiring for the generator that's no longer in the back, adjusted front fender alignment so door closes properly.

**N2TRUX** · 08-15-2010, 07:30 PM

I spent a week in Destin Florida with my family and n2billets family.

**N2TRUX** · 08-15-2010, 07:31 PM

We spent a lot of time at the beach. Rented a boat and a Seadoo and went to Crab Island.

**N2TRUX** · 08-15-2010, 07:33 PM

The weather was bad most of the week but we worked around it.

**N2TRUX** · 08-15-2010, 07:35 PM

When the rain came, we ducked in to one of the local restaurants, theaters, or just hung out on the balcony of the house we rented.

**N2TRUX** · 08-15-2010, 07:37 PM

Keith and I bought some brackets on line to use for our front brake lines. That's about the only "truck" related thing I can add.

Sorry to hear about Bill. Loosing friends sure does suck. Congrats on yet another award. You have been racking up all Summer.

chevymotocross · 08-15-2010, 07:57 PM

Accomplished making great fires, relaxing, eating drinking,, swimming, looking at hot women, spending time with family/friends before I leave in a week to Texas for 6 months for some military training at Sheppard AFB.

Truck accomplished: bringing firewood to campsite, turning heads, jump starting dad's dead Yukon battery, and getting 18 mpg highway trip

spudz · 08-15-2010, 08:15 PM

I picked up my block I sent to the machine shop.. cleaned, new cam bearings, Bored 30 over, honed and clearanced for my stroker crank! cant wait. also thinking about trading my 79 el camino for a more solid 86 lwb. havent made my mind up yet. may do it. It needs less work then my elky. No rust at all. My elky needs floors.

AceX · 08-15-2010, 08:23 PM

Just finished installing the stereo in givengold's '64 El Camino. Turned out alot better than I would have thought.

Gonna BBQ with the family and hopefully the new lady in my life if she gets off of work in the next 20 minutes...

87chevy.com · 08-15-2010, 08:53 PM

made some progress on my c5 rear brake convserion. mocked up the e-brake assembly to the axle.. rotors didnt arrive friday like I had hoped. Fedex shows to have them on the truck ready for next business day...

tucsonjwt · 08-15-2010, 09:16 PM

I got the 83 beater back from the upholster shop with new carpet. I/we covered the transmission hump and outside bumps under the seat with Walmart exercise mat, and I put in my Huskyliners - so the new carpet is all covered with vinyl/rubber mat of some sort (except under the seat).
Also finally installed the homemade speaker boxes for the cab corners and some new 4" JVC speakers. I can now use the 4 speaker fade feature on the Alpine head unit.
Also (best part) installed my homemade oak storage box for the triangular area behind the cab. I used some black vinyl tool box matting to line the shelves, and mounted the 6 disc Alpine CD changer to it. Looks pretty good.

*Stitch* · 08-15-2010, 10:14 PM

I went and picked up another truck. Also made a trade deal on my ccsb with 1972supercheyenne. You can see his build thread in the project forum. Here's a link to my new toy.

I got one of these!

*78 Chevyrado* · 08-15-2010, 10:19 PM

Had a test fit done on the new wheels to see if the tire I wanted will work. It'll work, I'll be buying them in a few weeks.
