NC road trip to pick up my pickup

[Cliff8928]

Those 200s should help on a Vortec truck more, their plenum volume is really weaksauce.

I'm pulling the box off to get it winterized. After the 95Z I'm paranoid of rust and would rather not scrap my 94Z. After mud-bogging I wasn't able to get it all clean yet without a teardown...so here it goes. Once it's all clean, I'm spraying the undersize with U-Pol Raptor liner. I also have one cab corner to weld in (the only rust spot on the whole truck) and change the o2 and maybe tint the windows. Poor truck is my workhorse and it gets neglected while I'm occupied with the other toys!

Wow really got all that mud down in there. Used to just spray mine down with a bit of diesel fuel. I wonder how much guck was still stuck under there.

Pressure washers FTW!!!

Jebus. LOL your bench didn't stay clean for long did it?

HAHA just wait, it will get worse!

I just cleaned mine up quite a bit, but I had to since I just did the timing belt and water pump on the Legacy.

eww i gotta do mine too. well more so the belt but the pumps getting changed too.

workbenches don't stay clean for long. take a picture of it clean and hang it up for the memories.

Had some soldering I had to accomplish last night for the house, needed a clean bench. Took me longer to put crap away than the actual work I needed to do.

But just ordered my self cleaning bench setup from ULINE.

Check it out.

Just slide your crap in and your done!

You see that one drawer open on my new Craftsman toolbox? That's the only one with anything in it! haha I'm going to cut drawer liners and then start organizing all my tools with labeled drawers like I did for my dad's place. And get stuff hung up on the pegboard again...I had to take it down to drywall.

[Vampcrist]

Are you going to paint it some as well to prevent much more rust spotting?

[woody90gtz]

Yeah, I'm hitting it with catalyzed liner. The frame is in absolute great shape and I intend to keep it that way as long as possible. Especially after working on my dad's truck earlier this month...that thing was pathetic. I should post pics.

[Vampcrist]

Yeah my Dad is working on getting the motor in his Ford and had found some rust stop paint that he fell in love with but right now I can't for the life of me remember. Sounds like something most of us could use for our beretta's

I did drawer liners and socket organizers and all that jazz... and that actually made me realize how many sockets I am missing... LOL...

Time for some new sets.

What kind of socket organizers did you pick? I went with those craftsman ones that the sockets snap too. I have to pry them off most of the time. They kinda suck.

haven't done the liners yet that's next but i did some socket organization and came to the same conclusion. time to go shopping so i can fill in what is missing.

i need another midchest so i can organize my wrenches and sockets better. hmm maybe that what i will get myself after christmas.

i got the same ones but i picked mine up from harbor freight. they suck for the toolbox i take to the junkyard, gotta find another solution for that one.
