Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter

Today was fun filled!

Carburetor - reinstalled the newly rebuilt carb, with new brass float, missing choke pull off, new idle mixture screws, and new jets. Once warmed up, adjusted idle mix, timing, and initial adjustment of choke. Waiting until it is dead cold to tweak choke pull off. Supposed to be a low of 24 tonight, so dead cold is right about now.

Heater - dissected the heater box in the cab and found several interesting things. First, the outlet flap was broken and just flapping about. So, given it is winter here, just removed it all together. Will address the remainder next spring. Second, determined why my air flow was non-existent, and removed the remnants of a prior tenant. It looked rather cozy, if you were a mouse. I took a picture, but didn’t include it here. Ain’t nobody wanna see that...

Installed parts from GMCPauls: wiper arms and blades, and new gas cap.

Finally, replaced the driver door lock so the key matches the passenger door lock.
