Well me and the wife didnt do much this week, we did decide it was time for a new car so we went and shopped for that on saturday and hopefully we will get the new car on Wednesday. It is her birthday this weekend so last night we went out for dinner. tomorrow she gets her chemo again
We did nothing truck related except for to ise our 4X4 Ford as a trade in
How about you all?

Nice birthday present lol. I swapped out my q-jet to my Holley only to find that the bottom gasket on the spacer must be shot because i can put my hands over the top of the carb and the engine speed up lol. This means i get to drive the wife's bubble car to work tomorrow.

went to a local car show today an meet a couple of members with beautiful trucks f.monroe and n2trux it was a good turn out with alot of cars despite the cold weather just wish i would have brought my camera

pat386 · 01-10-2010, 08:01 PM

hmmmmm where do I start..

this is how it looked monday morning

when I got home from the airport I noticed my wheel spacers arrived. So I put the wheels on. My brother and I went to the junkyard and we got a chrome bumper and a 1 piece back glass, and installed it. Middle of the week my left power window went out. so we replaced that motor, and put junkyard chrome door handles on, and lowered the front and rear more. we ended up replacing the right window motor yesterday,and i had to splice new plugs in. I really think thats all we did to it, and this is how it sits now...

thanks!

Nothing until it warms up. I need to install my tailgate skin and handle flip but it's too cold to spray epoxy.

Driveway Dreams · 01-10-2010, 09:02 PM

I sat around the house with the family this weekend. Made a lot of plans to get stuff done on my truck, and a couple others as well. That and found out that our Good-guys here gets autocross this year.

1LowToy · 01-10-2010, 09:15 PM

Got a lil sanding done.

I was delayed by a broken pipe in the wall behind the water heater in the house

As it turns out someone put a galvanised pipe to the copper pipe when is should have been a brass pipe. So my pipe rusted though and did a bit of damage that I really didn't need right now.

1great68 · 01-10-2010, 09:18 PM

I finally shimmed up my crooked bed and cleaned up the garage.

softballnrd27 · 01-10-2010, 09:35 PM

I found out why the truck wouldn't turn over from the ignition. Turns out the junction block on the firewall is bad or I did something wrong when I put it in. I should have it running next weekend.

It wa nice to meet you Ken . I finally got to lay eyes on the Cheyenne in person . Unbelieveable truck . I think it is one perfect truck ! The paint is slick as is the engine compartment , suspension, detail , etc .

Anyone else within driving distance should make the run next year .

Thursday drove to vegas for the CES show. planned on leavin at 7am at the latest, ended up leaving at noon. Rolled into vegas after dark, hit the sheets. Friday: meetings peppered throughout the day, walked around a lot, and finished with some amature mma fights. Pretty good fights Ryan Coture (randy coture's son) fought. My sister got her pic taken with Randy! saturday more meetings, more walking. Sunday: drive home. We left at 8, rolled in at 5:30. Time for bed.

My truck started it's 6.0 swap this weekend. Will finish pulling the engine and trans tomorrow when I get home from work. Will run a 6.0 and a 700r4 that is built very stout. That way I can keep my factory cluster and save a few hundred bills.

texasfunk · 01-11-2010, 12:00 AM

well, i started the molding in of my tailights friday, coming along nicely

flamingbig10 · 01-11-2010, 12:21 AM

fixed a few mess ups I did, battery cable was rubbing against a sharp point on the transmission so covered it with plastic conduit, also used it on the wires to the starter were exposed, moved the tail light wires that were on the outside of the frame to the inside, and greased the front end parts

Panelman55 · 01-11-2010, 04:01 AM

I parked the 86 GMC in the basement and pulled the rear tires off sandblasted the drums and painted them. I plan to pull the rear end out Mon\Tues if I get time the kids are sick so who knows.
