Tic-toc-tic-toc-tic-toc

Pulled the door panel on the driver's side, cleaned the gunk out, lubed the regulator, latch, and everything else. Installed new key cylinder and armrest pad. Works like a new one.
Replaced the fuel pump, filter, and regulator. Hopefully the dam thing will drive, so I can get on with everything else.
Oh, and found a fixable set of rear dually fenders, then last week found an almost perfect set and got them too. Had a good road trip and got my father in law to ride along. Great day, and got a good line for more parts if I need them.

Got my hood painted ... again !
Like Johnny cash said one piece at a time .. outdoor painting is to tricky . You must get on it before the bugs wake up !

Latest thing I did to my truck

Not on purpose of course! Too much birch firewood on a rather “rough” forestry road and this is what you get I guess.

Wish me luck on getting the bolt out of the leaf eye!!

Codfish

Ouch!
Well it looks well undercoated and protected. Hopefully you’re pleasantly surprised.
Barring an easy removal, it may be easier to just unhook the whole leaf pack and shackle as you can drive the bottom shackle bolt out.

Put a new set of Cooper Cobras on the rear (bald) and had the wheels powder coated but lost the receipts…nope, just a quick spray of Argent Silver before throwing it back together.

Got the rear-end mocked up today. Needs to be taken apart and finished welding.

Just the rear was bald, eh? That means you drive the truck in a proper fashion.

When I bought this truck it had a bit of a stinkbug stance. Over the winter it got new rear leaf springs which didn't help the situation.
Tonight I finished putting some longer shackles to help reduce the gap in the rear wheel wells and level the truck out.
The shackles on the truck were 3-1/2 inches which I question if they were the correct length. The new shackles are 6-5/8" centre to centre.
This resulted in a 1-1/4" drop at the wheel wells and 1-7/8" drop at the trailer hitch.
Not a huge difference in measurement but that little change really looks better to me.
I have a set of the heavier 454 front coils sitting on the shelf that I need to get on at some point. I figure it will be pretty level at that point.

What I have done this year so far. 6/8 drop, rebuilt the 14 bolt floater with Yukon 373's and limited slip diff, rear disc swap, clean and painted the frame, electrical fan install, and radiator core swap. Awaiting my Porter build A arms.

 

[Goldie Driver]

Compliments of a tech at my work, we evacuated and recharged the ac in Goldie. Crazy, but only pulled like 2.5 lbs out and put in 4.5 of the same R134.

R12 sticker called for 5.25 lbs.

Funny thing is that I can't tell it blows any colder ...

High side around 250, low around 70.

I don't get it.

Bad condenser, maybe ?

Receiver sweats a lot more now.

I installed the LMC headlight relay kit today in my '81 C10 6 cylinder. I spent about 5 hours working without hurrying, pretty easy job. And best of all, it actually worked correctly as intended with no troubles on the first try!
What this accomplishes is to remove the electrical load (current draw) of the low/high beam headlights from the headlight switch and low/high beam foot switch. These stock items become the control system selector devices for two 30-amp power relays mounted on the inner fender. These relays send direct battery power to the low/high headlamps when activated. This system will have less voltage drop to the headlights, making them brighter. Also the dash switch will now have much less current passing through its headlight contacts.
Quality seems to be good, and I am satisfied. Notes: You can install the relays on drivers or passengers side, but passengers side is probably easiest if you only have the stock battery. You can remove the entire stock headlight wiring from the split loom that goes between both headlight and stuff in the new harness wires if desired. But I decided it was too much work and zip tied the new harness alongside the stock split loom.

The wiring diagram on the package:

Since my headlight sockets were brittle and crumbling, I spliced two rubber covered 90-degree headlight connectors onto the LMC harness, I like these alot despite the wire color mismatch with the harness:

I also deleted the LMC harness headlight male plug and butt spliced the low beam and high beam signal wires directly to the appropriate relay control wire. Everything gets hidden in front of my dual batteries and the two relays are mounted to the inner fender next to the stock battery, no clearance issues.
Drivers side:

Passengers side where most of the wiring is performed:

The two red wires on the right are the main power wires that go to the battery. I did attach them directly to the battery positive post temporarily while I get the auxiliary fuse block installed. The aux fuse block will be used for low beams, high beams, fog lights, bed light etc.
On to the next project.

Awesome.
Cooper Cobras bring back high school hot rod memories. Lol
Had a set of 275 60 15s on my Impala.
And a set of 33 12.50 Cooper Discoverers on my Blazer plow truck!

A long long time ago
