Our idea is just to be together and have fun getting next to nature.

We decided to make this trip to higher in the Sierra Nevadas than we are.

Here are a few pics. of our trip.

This is the Carson river in Northern California About 7500 Ft. elevation in the Hope Valley. Didn't catch too many but I'm a hook and release fisherman so They go back to the river when I do catch them anyway.

Built a desk (service desk) to keep my supplies in and a place for the phone. Kind of a central point in the garage to put my keys and such while I am in there so I don't lose them. (make sense)?
I am kind of digging it now :grin: Was not sure how it would look? But I think now it fits great.

This is the most organized and straightened out my garage as ever been in the 19 years I've been there.

Built a rack for my trailer hitch tongues as well :ohyes:

ALSO I added A/C this week...:eek: It's now got heat and a/c.
Momma is away at her mom's so I kind of slipped it in.
It's a 12,000 BTU unit 110volt and is the size required for a 24X30 space. My garage is 24X20 so a touch over-sized and does work well.
I've been going out in the morning and starting it while things are at their coolest and it's been keeping up.
I do not recommend anyone try to cool down a garage at 95 degrees at high noon and expect to be cold in a hour.

Anyway here's some pictures of the garage with the trucks inside.
Maybe I will add a picture or two later with everything out.
Enjoy Mark:wave2:

Here's my new BONE creeper and well deserved I might add.
Whats so great about this thing is the wheels are 5 1/2 inches around and will roll over most anything in its path.
They are not giving them away yet but with my broken back any thing I can do to make working under a truck or car is a much needed improvement.

My fine had a bench seat in it but it is not the factory seat. The slides had been welding to the underside of the seat.

So I was wondering if any one could steer me i n the direction of a replacement seat. Not sure if I want to go with standard bench, a newer 60/40, or buckets. Most likely either a 60/40 or 40/20/40.

Anyone been down this road, with advice?

Found a label on the top of both sway bars, but they both faded pretty good , I dare not to put any chemicals on it to bring up the type, so I spent 3 hrs. going thru. catalogs on the desk that we have down at the barn ,and have another 2 hrs. at least going thru the ones under the bench. The closest I have come up with is addco, the bar matches the color brand that they sell but that probable doesn't mean much, I have spent hrs. and hrs. online searching and came up with these but I would like to try and find exactly what was on, think its a endless cause.

The diff is pretty greasy... this winter it will be yarded out of there and an Eaton Posi-traction unit with new gears will be installed. Maybe even disc brakes. :)

1. Removed the upper shackle bolt out of the old shackle.

2. New 2" drop shackle being held up for comparison.

3. Dad spraying lube on the shackle bolts.

4. New 2" drop shackle installed.

5. Impact wrench on the old U-bolts.

6. Same deal...

7. After removing old U-bolts... 40 years have taken it's toll. The threads basically flaked off... since we were taking out a 1" overload spring, we needed the threads.

8. Clamping the springpack together to remove the center pin bolt.

9. More of same...

10. Center pins were a little rusty too.

11. Also removed heavy duty coilover rear spring/shocks along with overloads.

12. Went in to Tacoma, WA to Right Way Spring Co, and had a set of new shackle bolts custom made. Since nobody stocks them in a auto parts store. Also got new pins for the leaf packs.

I put a power washer to her which got all the dust and crap cleaned up. But that lead me to my current issue.

The engine has "stains" on a lot of the polished aluminum parts. For instance, the valve covers look like somebody splashed some kind of liquid on them, which then dried into what looks like "water spots". I've tried several soaps, including Simple Green, to wash away these marks, and have had no luck to this point.

Anybody have an idea of what I can use to clean up these stains?:ohyes:

Been holding on to this 400 engine for about 3 years now. Thinking my son would need it for a 65 El Camino he's got but it's looking like that project will never see the light.
Today cleaning the garage found that a mouse had made a nest on top of it because it's been sitting so long.
Lucky no engine damage just a little dirt and fuzz to clean up. We had some bird feed that this little sucker moved across the garage and to the top of the engine??? I can't believe all the seed it moved there.. Check out the pictures how it nibbled on my HEI wire set:eek: I sure hope it tasted good?

So heck with it I am going to put it in my 69 3/4 ton.
I will be taking lots of pictures as with my back back it will take some time to do and have it perfect like I always want everything.
Its Ready to go except for the flex plate I need and getting all the bracket's figured out.
I had to dust it off today cleaning the garage out and have a few pictures to share.
Enjoy Mark

ALIVE http://www.67-72chevyboard.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1825&goto=newpost Wed, 07 Jul 2010 23:41:15 GMT Hi everyone I have been dealing with the bad back as everyone will now know :ssshhh: and have been lagging on any garage time.
But I've got some plans... Bought a Briggs & Stratton 24HP to go in the John Deere 265 I just bought a couple months ago for $650.00 and the guy was nuts. It has a Kawasaki 17HP stock engine with 1125 hours that runs and all but just sounds noisy and I would hate to launch a rod through the case. It's cheaper to buy this replacement engine than to pay J.D. prices for replacement parts and have the short block honed and buy over sized parts.
Here's some pictures.... :eek: The stock engine is still in the tractor right now.. But I will be doing the change soon.
Enjoy Mark
