What did you do to your truck today?

[ggzilla]

Ran errands from Seattle to Portland. Run great, never skipped a beat. The stocker the better.

 

Here it is resting in Portland, in the weeds

Not today....

 

But I picked up my 521 bench seat from the upholstery shop

before:

 

After:

[ggzilla]

Took here to Canby, then did four passes down the dragstrip, got it up to to 4700 RPM on I-5 and kept it there for an hour. Back home in Seattle now.

 

5-speeds are for wimps

[jon521]

decided i should put in a switch to my fuel pump. before it would run any time the key was on

[NSRz32]

Took my 521 to a drive in withy wife. Bet it's been 20 years or more since there's been a datto there....

[ggzilla]

Re-torqued the head gasket. Then checked valve clearances. #3 & #6 were tighter than normal.

Ratsun sound deadening

 

[jon521]

pulled my shocks and my sway bar out. but that then led to it going down all the way to metal to metal, so i raised it about 1/2 inch. it rides like a boat now. but the sway bar will be going back in after some tweeking, and hopfully the shocks will too, after a little fabrication :)

I looked at it. Waiting to get paid to buy all new drums, shoes, wheel cylinders, and wheel bearings.

I went to Pick-N-Pull and bought drum/hub/brakepads that looked near new. Cost me less than buying new parts, took less time to install and works perfectly. But if you got the money new parts will work too.

I fixed all my lights, got under the truck and looked for

Wires that were cut in anyway and fix it up.

I also dropped my muffler because it was rattling on my frame cuz the weld

For the braket to hold it up broke off. So I've still gotta fix my muffler

Get bushings for just about the whole truck and a ton of the things.

Trucks an everyday driver now!

I installed my new 15.99 pnp steering wheel. Yes I still need to finish the wiring under dash. Also filled holes in engine bay. I'M ALMOST READY FOR PAINT!!!!! :thumbup:

[JoeCool]

I looked at it. Waiting to get paid to buy all new drums, shoes, wheel cylinders, and wheel bearings.

 

 

That's what I did too! Just looked at it. Wishing I had money to fix things. Hell, right now being out of work I don't even have money for state inspection and tags! Have to fix horn(s), backup lights, and turn signals to pass. Having electrical issues.

[ggzilla]

rotated the tires

Sooo I did the smog check today....

After having it for almost a year (bought in October)

[wayno]

I tightened up the 521 work truck balljoint mount bolts and ajusted the front bearings, lubed everything, and ajusted the rear brakes, much better now, doesn't try to change lanes when braking fast/hard.

mounted my gem grant steering wheel! came with the wrong hub adapter. so i cut the hub off the og wheel and filed out have of the grant adapter. works super great! and was fairley easy. hardest part was tapping 3 bolts to a larger size for safety! wish i had a welder capable of aluminum!
