86 K10 project :)

[gotsmeuhh350]

i got the corner sanded, and ill probably finish the rest of the bed tomorrow. i might get the door finished,
but it depends on how much paint i have left. im going to tell everyone that this is going to be far from a show truck.
its my daily driver, and i probably wont do any patch panels on the body. im just sanding off the rust, and painting it.
i also found out that i have a cracked rear brake line on the passenger side. so ill probably have to have that fixed, as i go through a 12 oz bottle of brake fluid in 2 days. and i have a little squealing noise coming from the drivers side tire that goes away when i barely tap the brakes.

heres what ive did so far. lol. ill get some poo for this, but it was from my very first truck, so i had to keep it.
and i was surprised because i didnt have to do any modifications for it to fit. i even used the nuts from the chevy emblem.


and i was hauling some trash to the dump for a guy, and he paid me a few bucks for gas, and he gave me 2 NEW window cranks.
he retired from gm, making window cranks and he had a few left so he gave them to me.


i was driving through town today, and my truck stalled. it flooded itself somehow. if i kept my foot on the gas, like 1/2 throttle, it would run fine
but if i let off the gas, it chugged alot. until i gave it some go-juice. lol. 2 guys had to help me push it off the highway and in to a parking spot along one of the main streets in town. it made me mad because a cop threatend to give me a $65 ticket if i didnt move my truck in 5 minutes. it was rediculous. i had to adjust the carb a bit, to get it to run as close to better as i could. and finally got it running right.

It wouldn't have stalled if you hadn't put that Ford emblem on there

[gotsmeuhh350]

hahahaha. you have no idea how many times i was told that today. and its probably true.

[gotsmeuhh350]

ohh. and both of my header collecter gaskets are blown. so i have to change them out soon. as well as do an oil change.

[gotsmeuhh350]

well i had a flat tire so i couldnt drive around much today, so i decided to clean up the interior a bit.
it turned out pretty good if i do say so myself

[gotsmeuhh350]

got some rally rims and a set of 31's today. along with a sunpro tach, and a new ashtray, which im making into a hideaway cb mount

[big bear]

nice

i decided to clean up the interior a bit.

You missed a spot, the blue stain on the dash 

[gotsmeuhh350]

thanks. youd be amazed at how many people like my truck until they look at the dash. lol. i decided that i since i cant find anywhere to mount
my CB, and that i dont smoke, i would cut out part of the ashtray with an airsaw, and mount the cb on the flip down part. and relocate the 12v outlet into the glovebox.
and so far, i got the ashtray part cut out, i just have to drill 2 holes to hold the CB in place. and drill another hole to hold the 12v outlet.
heres a few pics


and the cd player i put in. not the greatest job, but its better than having nothing to listen to. lol

[gotsmeuhh350]

and that ashtray was from another truck which was blue, so i had to paint it. (the same one i got the rims and tires from) and the 2 holes were drilled in it before i got it but ill probably cut my ashtray to make it look better.

[gotsmeuhh350]

did alot of crap to it since i last checked in. finished painted the body, mounted the cb in the ashtray, relocated the 12v outlet, and repainted the brush guard, and got a FREE sunpro tach:) i just gotta figure out how to wire it. hahaha.
