Thanks Palf!
Thanks!
Thanks! Yeah, I restore chainsaws when I can these days and that spaymax has proven to be good stuff!
Thanks! Yeah I'm pretty stoked with the sound. Tried to get as much of the raspyness out of it as I could. Those mufflers helped alot and next will be decently long tailpipe tips a good inch bigger in diameter to mellow it out more.

cleaned up some trans linkage, organized the toolbox and installed my (unofficial) front plate

I like the front plate.

Re: What did you do to your truck today part IV
 

Thanks, I figured it answered the 2 most common questions, what year? and why isn't it painted yet?

Re: What did you do to your truck today part IV
 

NICE! I hate the statement, it's going to look great when you paint it. I look over at my truck and say, you don't like my custom paint job?

Re: What did you do to your truck today part IV
 

I didn't do anything sexy to my truck but I had a small transmission leak at the mechanical speedo connection. Finally (hopefully) fixed the leak! Leaks are super annoying!

You probably secretly love it also. I know I would.:lol:

Re: What did you do to your truck today part IV
 

Is it a 350 trans

Re: What did you do to your truck today part IV
 

haha..a little. What I really love is when they think cause it "needs" a paint job it is junk...so I open the hood to show off the engine candy! LOL

No, it's a Tremec T56 Magnum 6 speed. Love the trans...hated the leak. I finally bought a new mechanical speedo adapter from Bowler (has multiple Orings). Pricey, but worked!

Okay. I only asked because I had a 350 that I could not get to stop leaking from that location.

Picked up my Suburban body on Friday after blasting and primer. A little rougher than I thought.

Spent the weekend assembling my suspension, also cleaned and painted the engine. Not quite the color I wanted but it will work.

Re: What did you do to your truck today part IV
 

Moved my engine forward around 1/2 inch to 3/4 inch to give me more space between the distributor and the firewall.

Brought Crustine the GMC home from the shop finally. Now onto driving again!

Re: What did you do to your truck today part IV
 

Been doing this for a while. Replacing rusty rockers on the 65. Already have the passenger side done, these are pics of the Driver side.

moving on to seam sealer soon.

Chased an electrical issue until I finally figured out that there was a grounding issue for the bulb socket to one of the tail light housings. Putting the housing on the negative post didn't work. I had to run a wire from the bulb socket to the metal housing to complete the circuit. Strange, just on the one side. I could have just bought a new housing, but a short chunk of wire was cheaper. :)

Bled the brake and clutch systems, replaced the leaking air bags with springs and shocks and got it back on the ground.

Re: What did you do to your truck today part IV
 

It's been some days, but I wanted to post this.
First time using my new tractor to do something with my truck.
Boy oh boy - perfect fit with the bucket.

Re: What did you do to your truck today part IV
 

Cool. Tractors are the best. :)

Re: What did you do to your truck today part IV
 

It's about time..
I used to be able to just lift the hood off by hand by myself. Seriously.

Re: What did you do to your truck today part IV
 

Clever

Re: What did you do to your truck today part IV
 

I modified my finned air filter cover so that I can us a center stud instead of the complicated way it was originally attached. I might end up stripping the paint and having it polished to go better with my new aluminum heads on my new 355.

Re: What did you do to your truck today part IV
 

Washed the truck so I could take a picture of the new shoes.

Re: What did you do to your truck today part IV
 

After looking at the photos I think I need to even it out a little better and paint it black.

Re: What did you do to your truck today part IV
 

I'm digging that truck, end of story. If I had it, it would be all black, except for the Ed Hubbs style flame job. :metal:

Welded in some bed rails, most I haul in the truck are motorcycles😉
