Re: What did you do to your truck today?
Ordered a Edelbrock Carburetor Rebuild Kit yesterday for my Edelbrock Carburetor.
Once we get the carburetor rebuilt I will take a video of the exhaust sound of the HOME MADE EXHAUST!  http://www.jegs.com/i/Edelbrock/350/1477/10002/-1 http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...44#post4044344

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
Spent some time getting the frame stripped clean of years of grime and oil leaks. Used engine brite, super clean, wire brush, putty knife and finished it with a wire brush wheel on my 4 1/2" grinder. I'm going to wipe it down with acetone and prime and paint it today.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
Thanks to Bob at Accessoryland, a pair of new old stock inside spotlight brackets (8205 & 8206RH) arrived today. In addition to the mint condition brackets, even the 1960 era slot head mounting screws were included. After decades in wax paper bags, the brackets are now permanent features in my cab.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
your gonna blow that motor Gage.
Well it was sad what I did to my truck today. I pulled all of my SD front crossmember and my disc brake set up off, so I could sell it. Packed up the air ride kit too. It's all going to a good home though.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
Started the rebuild and drop process on my 65 frontend today. I removed everything except the tie rods and center link,ran out of time. Now comes the clean up and rebuild part. I'm trying to decide what kind of control arm bushings to use, stock, urethane, poly or polygraphite.....
