What did you do to your truck today??

[Dustinmk4]

Plugs, Wires, Cap, Rotor, Intake gasket (upper), all tie rod ends, Idler arm and Idler arm assy, and Pitman arm. So glad to have all that done. Runs like a champ and after the alignment it drives true and straight.

Swapped out my mangled and torn up original seats for a real good set of salvage yard seats from a 1998 Silverado. I figure they must have been hiding under seat covers from new since there isn't even any sun faded sections. Had both of the old seats out back in May when I was repairing the body mounts so swapping in the new ones only took a half an hour - 15 minutes of which was spent trying to remember how to put that center seat belt back together after I took it apart to get it through the small access hole in the seat LOL.

Finally got a cowl hood for the '88 and gears changed to 3.73.

That is a great looking truck.

I did some brake work this morning for my dad by replacing both wheel cylinders and a brake drum on his 97 chevy 2-door tahoe. Sadly though I bled the back 2 brakes after my dad lost a bunch of brake fluid from the leaky wheel cylinder and the brake pedal still goes all the way to the floor. I'm leaning towards a master cylinder needing to be replaced at this point. Oh a plus side though, I ordered my 5/7 drop from Belltech for my 93 gmc extended cab truck. It probably won't get shipped out until August 11th though. No big deal though, I still need to order some wheels for it anyways before I drop it.

Swapped out my rear slider with the leaky plexiglass center section for a factory tinted fixed glass. No more raining in the truck !!! Next up is fix holes in floor caused by the broken slider, looks like 2 about 4" diameter each.

After 315k miles, the upper radiator hose finally blew out a small hole which forced me to replace it lol. Glad it didn't happen on my quick rode trip to OKC for the Buick vs. Ford shootout.

[Dustinmk4]

In the last 2 months on my 89 I've reupholstered my bench seat with vinyl. Installed new upper and lower control arms, front shocks. New master cylinder (NBS) new brake booster. New headlights/ parklights and wiring harness to go with it. 3 color LED taillight bar. Had to put on a new starter. I also replaced the seal and oil in the rear end. I have new door weather seals i need to put on sometime soon and wheel arch trim.

[gunrunner95]

Cleaned the TBI on my 89. Replaced the IAC sensor, O2 sensor and throttle kickdown cable.

[54 jimmy]

replaced my starter on my dd 97. went with a gear reduction instead of a direct drive. much better now.

[Cape Codder]

I replaced all the brake lines to the rear. I had some 1/4 stainless lying around the shop to go from ABS to rear hose and used coated 3/16 for the rear axle lines. I was backing down a boat ramp when the line let go. That got my attention. I did manage to retrieve the boat with the front brakes working and a low pedal.

I will try to get a Pic up tonight.

painted my new grille

[Cape Codder]

Looks like the small Iwata paint gun,I have the same gun and love it. Parts look good ,post an installed pic when done.

[Marty68]

generic gun. I learned it is VERY important to keep it clean. I break it down cap tip soak while I an rinsing the body. I didn't take the tip out after the last time I used it. it has such a small hole it doesn't take much to affect the pattern. dad taught me back the fluid adjustment out until it almost falls out then back in 1/4 turn. this gun only has a 4" wide pattern. but lays out nicely.
I will post pics. as I go. should have truck back this weekend. so I can finish rockers etc.

Dropped the 402/434 stroker and th400 into the 98 crew cab

[rickpilgrim]

Engine bay- no detailing here, just an "upgrade" power wise from the 5.7 vortec. Next pics when I get the new floor pan

[oldmanturbo]

painted front end parts bumper - grille - filler prepped inner fender for paint got fog lamp kit ready for install very good day

[Cape Codder]

Cleanliness is key, If the very fine holes in the fluid tip get clogged with paint soak and try to clear with a blow gun if they stiff don't clear I pull a single wire from a wire brush and clear it with that. Torch tip cleaners are often used to clean paint guns but they ream out the holes and do more damage than good.

[Cape Codder]

New battery tray,painted the wheelhouse below the battery,new radiator, grease job and oil change. I have had a wreath on every vehicle I have owned for Christmas for the past 30 years at least. My daughter hated the wreaths and didn't even like riding with me when the wreath was on. Today when I put the wreath on she asked me how to put one on her 08 Silverado.

[rickpilgrim]

Nice-Merry Christmas to you and your family(of trucks) also
