What Are You Doing To/With Your Car Today?
Got things together enough to take the truck for a 5 mile test drive. Had a 6 cylinder/manual trans, converted to a 360 4 bbl with 727 automatic.
Put a new set of spider gears in the Diff as long as i was in the rear end checking that out too.
Front Bumper back on and installed the Mopar Brain box to get it ready for the road.
Out of the shop and went for a 5 mile test run. Runs out nice, no surprises, no leaks, exhaust with the H-Pipe and Cherry Bombs sounds great, has the Mopar Rapp when you get on it, and is not too loud. Very Happy
Also added Power Steering, glad I did drives so nice. No more armstrong method like when the 6 was in it.
Just great finishing up a large project, a few more things to button up. Then it is going to be my daily driver for chasing around, picking up parts.
Will be showing it on occasions, going to the local Cruise Ins with it too.
Really like the simplicity of these older trucks, plenty of room to work on things. No $800 in the tank fuel pump jobs to replace on these, $25.00 pump and easily change it in a half hour . . and good to go again. Not a Problem.
Old School . . That's the way to do it . . .
