Again, thanks! | | | | Joined: Dec 2015 Posts: 491 Unconventional Thinker | | Unconventional Thinker Joined: Dec 2015 Posts: 491 | I bought this truck back in April 2015. I knew it would need some work. The previous owner took good care of it, and I am thankful for that. However, it has some body cancer, and some things are in dire need of repair or replacement. Last night I was perusing my photos and documented what has been done to the thus far since taking ownership.
May) I installed a brand new shroud and three core radiator. My 4 core wouldn't fit. I installed the General AT2 tires and aluminum modular wheels.
June) Just drove it.
July) Installed Edelbrock Peformer II Intake Manifold and a Fresh Quadrajet and a Factory Air Cleaner Assembly. Resurfaced the Flywheel from my old truck Mean Green. Ended up not needing to replace the clutch or throw out bearing.
August) Painted the Bellhousing from Mean Green GM Dark Blue Metallic. Repositioned the Shroud to clear the fan equal distances all the way around. Rebuilt the Saginaw 3 speed with Borg Warner Overdrive.
September) Installed Factory Driveshaft. Cleaned and Flushed the Cooling System and Relocated the Temperature Sending Unit to the head from the intake manifold.
October) Installed Front Disc Brakes, which included replacing all Ball Joints, Upper and Lower Control Arms, and all Tie-Rods.
November) Completed Front Disc Brake Conversion. Installed New Chrome Front Bumper.
December) Installed Headlight Relay Harness. Assembled, Painted and Installed good Grille from Mean Green. Cleaned and Polished oxidized Paint.
With more days left in December I plan to get a lot more done.
