I think some of you are posting in the wrong thread. This is the With Your Truck thread not the To Your Truck thread.

Re: What did you do WITH your truck today?

Re: What did you do WITH your truck today?
 

Well if you look at the pictures the Turquoise GMC in the background is my truck, My truck and I worked on this truck .:lol:

What did I do WITH my truck? I drove it to work today. These 50+ year old vehicles are like old men, they have good days and bad days. Ol' Blue must have liked the oil change and lube job last weekend, cause today was a good day. ;)

Re: What did you do WITH your truck today?
 

Lol awesome! I drive mine daily and agree, there are good days and bad. But I've never been stranded.... yet... With another winter coming up, I know it'll be complaining just as much as I do about it. Need to build a garage and maybe it'll be happier.

Ha, I am with you. My 78 is my daily driver, and most days are good days, but she's pushing 40 and likes to show it sometimes. Recently the ignition switch gave up the ghost. I was driving home and the truck shut off, just like I had turned the key off.

I get her home start trouble shooting, replace the switch (and ignition cylinder while I'm at it) and TA-DA no more ignition problems.

Spent some good time with the Truck Saturday Morning from 9a-3p at the Lions Club International Touch a Truck in Slidell. This is a great way for kids to get the itch for the hobby of old vehicles.

The kids were excited, the parents were nervous and the owner was calm- how much could they do - it went under 11' of water already! Hopefully, a few kids caught the itch. Smiles all around! I have a ton more pictures, but did not want to clog up the bb.

For the first time in 4 months I thought maybe I would see if the old girl would start,and at 15 degrees she did .. not like a late model efi vehicle but she did start ............

Re: What did you do WITH your truck today?
 

I drove down to Santa Cruz to pick up this 327. Supposed to be a rebuild of about 30.000 miles ago. It is clean under the valve covers and the spark plugs were clean and brown. Don't know why the first engine pic is Green. Kind of weird. Also dose anyone one know what kind of car this bell housing belongs too. I have never seen one on the right side.

Re: What did you do WITH your truck today?
 

Warmed her up and headed to town for a soda pop before working in the shop.

Re: What did you do WITH your truck today?
 

Drove mine to work the last few days since the daily is down, 90 mile round trip. Still allot of work to do but it's driving really good since the upgrades. I need to do a build thread on mine, I'm terrible about taking photos as I go.

Re: What did you do WITH your truck today?
 

Glad to hear it's running good, PontiacGurudan.

Re: What did you do WITH your truck today?
 

Thanks, it only had about twenty miles of shake down miles before I hit the highway and hoped for the best. Crossmember swap with power disc brakes, add a tbi 5.7 and 4l60e that I cut the harness up and reworked. It's made 3 trips to work so far with no problems. Brakes and steering feel so good it's amazing and it goes 75 on a whiff of throttle in overdrive. I need to get my Speedo working this weekend. Going to try to put the 1995 guts behind the stock dash. We'll see how it goes.

Bet you get more head turns with that ride ........
