What did you get done 11/16/2014 edition - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**old Rusty C10** · 11-16-2014, 11:09 PM

I didn't do much this weekend. I did find the gas tank straps and I started to whizzy wheel the old mounts and paint them as well as the front bumper side brackets but then I wound up taking care of other things in the house. today I went to ScottH's house and my son bought his second squarebody this one is a 79 short project. It runs and drives but the cab needs a lot of work.. Luckily I have doors for him and we have a good hood but the truck needs a lot of cab work. we also started doing a steering column swap on another members truck but after we got it all together, we found out the thing is locked up and the ignition cylinder wont turn... We plan on revisiting that Tuesday if its not freezing out
I will post pics of my sons truck and the other stuff tomorrow if I can
How about yall?

Heater core on 83 c10 no A/c pretty easy job.

**brakenit** · 11-17-2014, 01:52 AM

Pulled the intake manifold on my Colorado to replace a leaky fuel injector o-ring. It's really not a fun job. The injectors probably only have 1500 miles on them and I couldn't find any knicks or tears so I can only assume the new o-rings that came with the injectors weren't correct.

**Gregski** · 11-17-2014, 02:51 AM

blacked out and debaged the grill

My oil pressure sender has been bad on my crew cab for about 5 years. Today I realized it was unplugged

E.D.75GMC · 11-17-2014, 04:23 AM

Painted my spare.. still needs a new tire so it's just for show haha & my truck rolled over 100,000 miles

Jump started the diesel. Again. Runs great, just not willng to spend on new batteries for something I need 3x per year.

Cleaned up around the joint in preparation for dismantling the dually bed. I even sold the bench seat & 4 dually wheels/tires on C-list to get stuff out of the way.

Waiting on some a-arms & continuing w/the bed tweaks for now.

Replaced the oil pan gasket on the 85 with a one piece fel-pro to take care of the leak I've been putting off forever and replaced the oil cooler lines....just cuz...

Is that the blue gasket ? I put one of the blue one piece oil pan gaskets and its pretty good , I think I am going to have to replace the rear main seal now .

beamn7 · 11-18-2014, 07:49 PM

Yep, that's the one. Pretty happy with the fit. Glad to hear it worked good for you. Hope I can say the same!

Just call me Sean · 11-18-2014, 08:02 PM

Pulled all the spark plugs, cleaned and regapped them and put them back in. I don't think it helped.

I've had problems like that before. Just turn up the stereo. It'll go away immediately.
