Had 3 friends meet me at my place after work to pick up the truck box and set it back on the frame. I got the box bolted back down. I have new 2” drop springs installed in the rear. It looks better already. Looking forward to getting the front springs done and some 31” tires on. I think the truck will look sharp.

got my heater control back together and back in, sits a little crooked, but I'll deal with that later. Did some CAD(cardboard aided design) work on the glove box, should start bending metal tomorrow for that

Applied my 0-8000 rpm stencile from PJMORELAND.
Scared I was gonna fog the lens with the spray cleaner I used, but it worked. Thanks Patrick. The tach went from busy and completely off, to clean and properly centered. |

Played with paper dolls: First cardboard template for the glovebox interior(traced from the remains of the original) wasn't really working great for tracing out the sheet steel parts, so I started over with some skinnier stock.
Also working through a Fusion360 tutorial for bent sheetmetal parts so I'll be able to make a grown-up drawing. |

Got a decent clip of the new motor this morning. Finally got some dry (but cold) weather to get some more break in miles on the new combo

Odd double post, but truck ran great. Loving the 5 speed on the highway.

Started bending metal for glovebox. I've never bent metal before and it's going about as well as I should have expected

Tore the front end apart. Rotors and calipers were new, everything else is in need of replacement. Made a list of parts to order. Cut the rivets off upper ball joints and got them out. Will need to get a tool for the lowers.
I have 1” drop springs, The original springs had 1” rubber isolators, so the front will sit 2” lower than before. Excited to get this back together and see how it looks. |
