Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
Took it to the shop to have the Hydro Boost installed. Ever since putting in the Vortec the brakes have been somewhat questionable. The booster was checked and found to be good. Motor just didn't produce enough vacuum with that cam.Should have it back tomorrow.

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
Brought home my new 1970 C-30 Dump truck. about 2400 mile round trip to Virginia with my flatbed. I would strongly recommend anyone on the east coast avoid Pennsylvania and New York on I-81 and I-84 at ALL COSTS with a trailer. Massachusetts I-90 is not congruent with towing either. I shot up I-91 into Vermont to exit 3 and cut across New Hampshire. Beautiful ride. My 2500 Diesel preformed and towed flawlessly.Fortunately no mishaps at all (other than a trailer license tag flying off in PA whilst banging about on the beautiful roads), just those states listed above got terrible roads, and 2 of them charge money to ride on em. I've tried everything I know to post a photo. Sorry, beyond my skillset, or an Apple doesn't play well here. Once I get the road off me I'll figure this photo stuff.

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
Started to put the bed wood back in hopefully for the last time . I thing I got some grinding dust on it and with moisture it turned the wood a blackish blue . I get the same when I’m milling any type of oak . Just the blade hitting the wood causes the tannins in the wood to turn blue . This time I used spar urethane to seal it not just an oil finish like before

Installed new steering wheel today. I can steer this thing a little better now since the wheel itself is smaller.

Still working on the photo thingy. Years ago I used to post on here using photo bucket. I'm asking my distinguished panel of experts now!

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
Not really on the truck but I've been trying to make a decision on fabric for the door panels on my 67. I just haven't seen the perfect one yet.

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
What I did:
The gate sweep on my 4 speed Hurst shifter seemed to be off a little when moving R to L in neutral. Turned out the shift lever on 3&4 had pulled away from the tranny. Cause — the bolt that secures it had loosened somewhat, so I pushed it back in and retightened. The gate is perfect now. Last edited by ghackett1; 04-10-2023 at 01:00 PM. |

It seems the news iPhones don't take jpeg photo's. Every time I try to upload a photo get invalid format. I'm not giving up that easy though.

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
Installed new Steele Rubber push on door seals last week and took the truck on it's longest drive since putting it back on the road. Wife and I made a 104 mile round trip to deliver some LED shop lights to a buddy. Been making 30-40 mile trips regularly and have a couple of trips planned for June/July that will be longer so stretching its legs a bit.

Got the motor drained of all fluids, wiring harness removed and shift linkage disconnected. Going to be pulling the motor in the next couple of weeks hopefully!

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
pulled down and out the 23 year old checkered spare tire that wouldn't hold air, found a very nice used replacement, mounted it, stuck 'er back up underneath, and topped it off with a new repop carrier nut - it had just a standard nut before.

If my memory serves me, there's a nice orange stepside cab in the Tucson area that already has a pair of bucket seats in it!!
