Re: What did you do to your truck today part III
Here are some pictures. Will this help? I was thinking of putting the engine in my green truck shown in picture but I think i will just overhaul the 283 that is in there and keep that one and build another truck with the vette engine. I do have a short frame and all the parts to do it.

Re: What did you do to your truck today part III
I can't believe how different the truck can look from one week to the next.
![]() Last night I removed the side trim off the truck. I was amazed at just how knackered the trim is. ![]() First question is WHY ??? WHY do they need these clips to keep the trim on? How the hell do you get it off the truck without getting a hernia?? ![]() BARSTEWARDS !!!!!! ![]() These little clips are OK to remove. ![]() Leaving the trim in a pile of mangled treasures. ![]() While I was in the garage, I looked at the quarter windows, the passenger side is rotten..... now to find a decent replacement. Who said it would be easy. ![]() Rusted frame. ![]() Drivers side is a lot better, and the rubbers need replacing, but the frame is good. ![]() I took a day annual leave today, to fit some hardboard into the rafters of the garage. Hopefully it will help when I get to do the body work, to keep the garage a bit warmer, and also to manage the dust from sanding filler etc. Once I pulled the truck out on the "winter wheels" and minus its side trim, it looked pretty misserable. ![]() Went to B&Q Hardware to fetch 8 sheets of hardboard, and some cut timber for framing up the walls I want to put up inside the garage. On the way back, I stopped for some fuel as the needle was dropping very low. ![]() It took me the best part of 8 hours of cutting and fetteling to get the the drop down sheets onto the rafters. I still need to tidy up the holes and some of the escapes for the heat, then I will do the walls. Before ![]() ![]() While I was clearing up the loft area,I found the trucks "aircon/blower" pipes. Merry mix of pipework. ![]() After. ![]() Getting there bit by bit.

I went to Pick n Pull in San Pablo ,CA and got some seats ....55.00 for a front electric bench seat out od a late model chevy truck ...DEAL !!!! Even thou they are half price tomorrow on the 3 day sale ...they would be gone then and it suppose to rain , rain ....
I put them in the bare cab to see how they fit ...PERFECT !!! the two front holes on the outs sides of each seat line up primo !!! and i was worried about havein to cut and weld the brackets as the late model truck floor was not flat ...BUT,,,my old truck isnt flat too..They fit with only drilling 6 more holes and bolting up with fender washers and nuts.....hurray...... PS....there is another set there in a suburban..they are ok shape ..alittle dirrty and a little worn....but for under $50.00 bucks ..DEAL !!!!! Bring a dolly and rope to tie it to...you have to walk a 1/4 mile back after the gate to reach the trucks....... Tomorrow I go back before dentist appment to get the seat belts with a 12 allen head that I didnt have today ....arrrrrrr Cheers ..... ![]() |

Re: What did you do to your truck today part III
Yesterday I pulled the 6 lug rearend out and today I put the 5 lug in including the brake line and the emergency brake cables. If my new metal floor was in my fleetside bed I would love to sit her in place. Also went up front and dropped the lower a arms and pulled the springs. Going to replace the ball joints and rebuild the lower a arm and put her back together. Donor rear end looks like it grew there.

Re: What did you do to your truck today part III
Got the rear axle back in after converting to 5 bolt, posi, and 3.73 gears. Bed is mostly on with seven bolts that fit properly. Only problem is they put the wrong size studs in the axle
![]() What would be next likely size down from 1/2"? Hoping I can find uni-lug nuts in that size. Axle is at resting height - going to be a tight fit! |

Re: What did you do to your truck today part III
Been just over a year now and I can't believe I just now got to changing out my old broken steering wheel. I also added a cool coolant overflow polished aluminum container.

Re: What did you do to your truck today part III
My truck wasn't ready for the Interstate but decided to go to Turkey Run yesterday... and I'm glad I did! Met so many cool people and saw so many awesome vehicles... Didn't get a chance to see them all but (if i can find the energy) may go back again today.
