What did you do to your truck today part II.

[pimpston65]

bent up some trans module vacuum lines and vacuum advance for the dist.

[pimpston65]

pre-bents fuel and brake lines, nope took em off a 65 C10 you know they fit and are correct

[XLCOR_65]

Started working on replacing the terrible hack job someone did to the rear and main tail light harnesses. They even cut the connector off of the harness under the dash and wired everything direct.

May report back with some pics tomorrow. (I'm terrible at remembering to take pics when I'm working on the truck... )

[NEWFISHER]

installed my rechromed C60 grille and back lit it with orange LED. Also soldiered up several sets for the cab. One under the pass side dash, one along the front of the seat frame and one ontop of the tank illuminating the rear wall of the cab.

[bmwhitt]

Bought my second cab in a week to replace mine....now just to sell the Chevrolet cab and fix the floors in the GMC!!

[NEWFISHER]

Had an old 40s mechancal vacuum operated fan kicking around so I tucked the brackets through the speaker grille and bent up some copper tube for the supply line running it through the defrost vent and out the side of the hose. Already had a guy at the gas station guessing how old it is.

Threw down some spi epoxy primer on the cab. It turned out great! The son and I are monitoring he temp. Trying to maintain 75+.

[endlessearth]

TKO500 and 355 in place.

[Johnny Too Bad]

Swapped the TBI heads on the 350 for some new aluminum performance heads (2.02/1.90, 64cc combustion chambers), chromoly push rods, Harland Sharp rocker rollers and a polished dual plane intake.

First time I've had a chance to look inside, and was glad to see the pistons and cylinder walls looked pretty good.

Should have it buttoned up and ready to fire tomorrow evening after work.

Send me a picture of the deluxe controls, we have a 65 that is going to the scrapper soon, dash is in good shape, if I knew what they looked like and the ones in the scrapper are correct would give them to you. Kieth

[TJ's Chevy]

Urgently and currently waiting for my new distributor to show up today!

[YoungRasta66]

Me and a buddy were talking and relized we were both after the same car just needed different parts. So this the fan I picked up off a 95 ford Taurus hope it works other friends car is m50 swapped e30

Sold the red '64 Shortbed yesterday. Never did get the paperwork I needed to register it, and didn't have the money to fix it up mechanically(engine was very worn out). Did turn a decent profit so I can get my collapsing chimney fixed and still have quite a bit of money in the old truck fund for the '64 longbed.

That would be great! All I really need is the lever for the defroster as mine self destructed. The vendors only sell them as a set of three. If your truck has one let me know, I'd be grateful. Thanks for the offer.

[pimpston65]

That's exactly what mine looked like when I picked them up back in 1992 from Golden State Pickup Parts. Still in the original box with OEM instructions. Best part is there's no rust or collision dents in parts that are vulnerable if taken off an old truck.

[TJ's Chevy]

Got my new distributor from Speedmaster! 65K coil! That'll burn the fuel!

[pimpston65]

I hope folks dont get, too upset cuz ima paint gloss black to match my bumpers, but ima keep some white on the inside to show the are NOS if every questioned...

I scraped a big orange "72 hour abandoned vehicle" sticker off of my windshield that the police put there this morning then moved it back into my driveway. I just moved it out to the street little over a week ago so I could have my DD in the driveway when it rained for a few days. I go out and start it every other day to keep the tranny from leaking so all my neighbors know it's not abandoned but somebody has the police for them to come out on this type of response. Believe me the police have plenty of other things to do. I live in a court so there are only a few neighbors to start with so it's pretty easy to figure out who called it in. My truck is registered, insured and operable (barely).

Love thy neighbor.
