Ranman72 Posted January 28, 2014 Report Share Posted January 28, 2014 Gun metal do it Quote Link to comment
Busta Nut Posted January 28, 2014 Report Share Posted January 28, 2014 ^^don't know about that color against the blue of Valentine..... My vote is for the cream colored wheels......Jrock style.....would look so good against the blue..... ................nice and clean........... I feel the gun metal is too modern for the vintage color of the truck..........maybe if the truck was red or yellow...... ........just an artsy point of view........... 1 Quote Link to comment

skyblue Posted February 2, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2014 Had a very productive shop day with busta nut yesterday. But had a few speed bumps. Started with Replacing the lower alternator bracket cause, 1. One of the bolts came off at some point and 2. It was broken. So I go to put the new one on and realize the bolt holes to the block are to small for the bolts that were put in by PO. So I panic but busta tells me to call a local machine shop to see if they're open. They were so I dropped it off to get the holes bored out. In the meantime I go back to the shop and tackle replacing the much needed front shocks. Old ones were blown. 3 Quote Link to comment
mrbigtanker Posted February 2, 2014 Report Share Posted February 2, 2014 your truck is lowered so it will blow out to pretty quick..there compressed already just being in there.but there shinny. :thumbup: Quote Link to comment
skyblue Posted February 2, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2014 The shocks went on no problem. Went and grabbed some lunch and picked up the bracket at machine shop. Installed it. And then noticed the upper bracket was cracked and it ended up breaking (previously welded from breaking a year ago) from me wiggling it. Thankfully busta had an extra one that I gave him awhile back and saved the day. Replacing the upper bracket is a bitch cause you have to remove the fan pulley cause the bolt is too long and hits the pulley before it can slide out. So, I figured I might as well replace the intake gasket as long as I'm in this deep. Took off intake. Old gasket shows where my shot was leaking coolant. Cleaned everything up splooged on some silicone around the water ports and slapped it back together. But then of course another problem. The center stud was worn down pretty good at the tip so the nut wouldn't thread. Found another and replaced it and the third disaster averted. At this point all I had to do was put the alternator back on. So I cleaned it first in the solvent tank and rinsed it with water. Looks like new. Got everything back on and last thing was the belt. But now the belt was too short because the old mount allowed more range of motion than the new one. So I thought I was fucked once again. But busta came through once again and he had a spare belt from his 510. Phew! Got everything tightened up, went to start it and saw the ignition light was on without the key even being In the ignition switch. Wtf!!! At this point it was 10pm and we couldn't figure out what had happened to make it do this. So I left the truck at the shop and was going to get a new alt Monday. Busta texted me this morning and he checked the alt again at the shop and said the light wasn't on anymore. He concluded that the alt was probly still wet inside last night and that was causing the problem. So hopefully i will be picking up the truck later today. 1 Quote Link to comment
