Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter

Got the wiring finished up on the broski's truck and tested all the goodies inside the cab (Dakota Digital gauges, GPS Speedo, Holley Fuel Injection Module, Vintage Air and RetroSound radio).

He's been working on welding up the exhaust after work the last couple of nights. We've still got to add the O2 sensor bung and figure out what we want for hangers, but it's good enough for now.

Just a few more things to button up and we should be firing it up on Friday!

Stripping down for paint, adjusted doors. Drilled holes for the Sierra Grande emblem, had Sierra emblems on it.

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter

Yesterday I replaced my speedometer cable and bullet in my 3 speed Saginaw transmission. I finally have a working speedometer!! Yea, so happy about that.

Last Friday, I replaced my old, worn out, and sloppy Mr. Gasket shifter to a Hurst 3 speed shifter. Oh man, I love the way it shifts now, clean, quick, and precise. Night and day difference.

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter

Replaced hinge pins and bushings, easy task. Aligning the doors was not quite so fun. What is the best tool for the bolts on the front of the hinge, with fender on?

I used this wrench to reach the back bolts. It was slow and tedious, not perfect, but got it done.

Talking Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter

I went by the exhaust shop this morning. $130.00 to run the exhaust to the stacks. I thought was very good price. He said bring it over Friday!
I bought 2-4" clamps and cut the old ones off. I clamped it to the headache bar it ant going no place.

I had to cut 2-1/4" holes on each corner of the bed. The first picture is looking up through it to the top of the stack!

Thanks, I will look for one like that. Or perhaps I could make one by heating an old cheap wrench with a torch and bending it .

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter

Did the front half of my headliner on the 77. Really dont want to do the back it was a pain in the butt. Think if they didn't use foam it would still be up there . Foam failed not the glue

Bypassed my heater core. Found antifreeze running down the firewall and into the shop floor. Guess it gave up the ghost. Add it to the repair list.

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter

Got the Broski's truck fired up this weekend, found a few leaks and had to pull off the intake manifold to reseal the rear. At least we caught it now so it wasn't too bad.

After getting that done we set the timing and she fired up great. I gotta say I'm impressed by how easy this newer EFI stuff is making it.

I posted a video of the kid starting his truck up over on my Instagram. Here's a quick link: https://www.instagram.com/p/B9PILuPJKXw/
