    Yup. 3 on the floor. Each gear in it’s own area code. Shifter needs some work/replaced.

    Pulled the radiator today, of course it’s bad. Lower radiator hose was about to blow due to rubbing on the frame. Battery tray is rotted out and need to be replaced. I did have the fuel tank removed to clean it and put a new sending unit in it. The deeper I get into it the more stuff I find...

    85 GMC cleaned up better than anticipated. Actually a really solid truck. Had it running yesterday for a few minutes. Still needs some attention in that regard. Overall a great find. BTW, it was last registered in 2013.

    Managed to tow my new truck home last night. All 4 tires held air and the brakes worked, so my son and I towed it home. Slowly!! Yes, it was a bit sketchy.

    Yes. Front spring, rear bolts. One each side was broken. BTW. Still experiencing occasional minor death wobble. May need to take it in for another alignment.

    Blew out an other PS98 oil pressure switch. I have been using the switch to trigger a relay for my day time driving lights. This one about cost me an engine. Luckily it happened with in a couple miles from home. It dumped 3 quarts of oil in that short time. I have replaced the switch with a...

    Built a cover off the back of my shop to store the 69 until I have room in the shop for it.

    Installed a set of sway bar links. Never liked Goethe sway was attached from the factory. To me it put the front suspension in a bind.

    So I have been experiencing intermittent death wobble. The front axle has been rebuilt, new steering gear, alignment was done right after axle rebuild and what had not been replaced is leaf spring bushings. Keep in mind that the polyurethane bushings were installed over 22 years ago when the...

    This truck has sat for over 4 years. I spent some time yesterday doing some forensic diagnostics. Found the purple starter wire had shorted out against the exhaust manifold and was burnt to a crisp. I fixed that and moved on to the normal things one does before cranking an engine that has sat...

    I have never named a vehicle before, but I suggested to my wife that we should call this truck Pig Pen. She failed to see the humor in that.

    The longbed will ride better as well.

    Picked up a 69 C10 this weekend to go along with my 77 K10. Yes it’s a long bed, I can live with that since it’s in good shape for a 69. I really like it’s patina, so a short bed conversion would end up ruining that. Not to mention, a long to short bed conversion can be pricey. It will need...

    Gear box bled. Drives completely different. Never realized just how bad the old gear box was.

    Changed out steering gear today. Original was leaking and getting loose. The remanded steering gear is from Red Head. The rag joint was shot and changed out as well. Just need to finish bleeding it. Ran out of PS fluid, so I will finish up tomorrow.

    Found a puddle of oil under the 77 the other morning, found that the oil pressure switch I used for the day time drive lights was leaking. PS98 switch changed out today along with a fresh oil change.
