'84 K10 The Animal- Now on Forty Two's

[Bent77]

Just got back from a 2.5 week business trip so not much to report.

I have a solid 2-3 days of maintenance work needed on the two Tahoes too. The 2 door has a blown head gasket and the 4 door keeps throwing a knock code so I think I need to pull the manifold and replace the knock sensors and pigtail. Fun stuff.....

We knew you were out, but we can't let you completely off the hook

 

[skunked]

2 Tahoe, 1 mechanic.
We're you at the dub show in la?

I was working on the MLB All Star events in San Diego.

I would expect nothing less.

I did order and receive a new bigger fuel tank before I left. Still need to get my brothers 66 Buick out of my garage, damn boat is hogging all my work area.

Were you installing down riggers and a trolling motor?

I wish. I didn't even have time to visit the breweries down there. Going back for a vacation with the wifey in a few weeks though.

 

[skunked]

Ha! @bent72 I just realized you were probably talking about down riggers on the Buick We converted the front over to disc brakes so it can stop safely. If my brother doesn't come pick it up soon I'm shoving it back into the trailer.

Well it's been a long month for you. Welcome back!

Thanks.

Now I need to refocus

So a "Truckin" reference to get back on the truck project? Well played Deadhead.

What size fuel to? We need to get it together

Fuel tank? The bigger K5 tank, 31 gallons. Shit ton of work ahead but I try to focus on one project at a time.

Starting some patch panels.

Thinking I should grind this lip off and patch it?

 

[bmxbryant9]

Just hammer the lip flat! Haha. Autocorrect has been acting up on my phone

 

[wetoolowdingbangow]

31 gallons ftw. I'm thinking I'll try to get it to hang below the frame minimally and what's left over will protrude through the bed.

I've contemplated the same.

Ground it down, time to it in

Welding sheet metal sucks.

Need to do a little more grinding later....

 

[Bent77]

Yeah it takes a lot of patience. And grinding wheels

My truck is on the side yard up against the fence that separates my house from the neighbors. I started getting paranoid that I was going to start a fire with all the Sparks. I'll finish it later when it's out in the driveway again.

Yeah I don't want to be "that guy". I've lit plenty of things on fire in the garage over the years though.

 

[GWeakland620]

Just take pictures if you do catch something on fire.
