Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
.
Replaced vintage air fan power relay. The symptom was no blower fan. What I found was a loose connection at the main relay (the harness was only about a quarter of the way plugged in) which was probably causing the thing to actuate over and over essentially clicking itself to death! Feels good to have accomplished something...now onto finding the refrigerant leak before summer... -klb

I also found my driver side hinges came loose and allowing that side to slop around a little, so got that all tighten up. Then on the passenger side, the upper tongue thingy was dragging into the bed slot, one or two taps with BFH fix that. It's like an all new tailgate, pretty chrome handle that isn't dragging, the bed closes much easier and doesn't move/wiggle.

I got my DIY window regulators and OEM style handle switches. Now on to the rear speaker box now. Need to make some grills for the speakers.

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
Worked on my hood to get the back to cowl to lay a lot more even. It sooo annoyed me and I finally searched the forums for some help. Just like clock work, hood not sitting all the way down helped me out!
She isn't perfectly even but darn close and SO much less annoying!

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
A good friend helped me remove my rear axle for what will be(hopefully) a correct set up and probably take it back to to a highway gear ratio. Also ordered new rear parking brake cables, new rear brake lines and hardware, new lowering blocks and U bolts.

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
Your truck looks great. I was wondering where you're having your axle work done? I'm looking to possibly change my gearing and add posi to mine. Thanks

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
Was going to do oil change, but decided I have been in south too long as it is too dang cold to lie on the shop floor. Guess I'll wait to spring.

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
Well talked to two windshield installers and both said no way on installing my windshield because of the chrome trim. So I am now going to do it myself.
The second thing is I finally found a place to cut down my drive shaft. Plan on dropping it off tomorrow and go in wait mode for a month.

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
My little heater isn't worth much. Today, having the door open actually warmed it up some. I only need heat about a week or 2 a year, so going big isn't worth taking money from the truck.

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
Got these cool little tie downs for the GM Bed Rails off Ebay today (listed for El Camino rails). Though you got to take the rail apart at end (and the middle ones too) to slide them in and down the rail.
Shame they are plastic.

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
Got a whole bunch of these Tower Clamp Wittek GM thingys off eBay in today. When ever I look at my Chevy manuals, these things are used all over the place on the hoses. I suppose there is a reason why they are all regular claps now ...

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
I finally got the NP205 I posted pieces of above finished up. Both it and the old SM465 should probably have been left rusting in the field where they were sitting. I think I have over $500 in parts in each of them now.
That is the last piece of my all new drivetrain for the K10. Now comes the fun part. |

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
well, they don't look like they came from rusting out from a field!
