Finished welding in inner rockers, floor patch, a pillar and fender brace on passenger side. Painted with por 15. Also painted under arm with por 15 while painting bottom of cab laying on floor. Didn't notice drips into shirt sleeve untill to late. Wife couldn't stop laughing. Now on to the cab corner and outer rocker.

Very cool. I love it when my boys give me a hand. Didn't do a thing today but started it in the garage yesterday.

Went outside thinking I needed a starter, just had a loose wire. So I loaded some of my guns up and spent some quality time at the range.:metal:

Got my heater to quit working. It was 100 degrees outside today, and i drove about 50 miles with the heater blowing, that inspired me to fix it REAL quick.

today I pulled my gas tank (under bed stainless steel) I had fuel pressure issues. found a rubber glove in the tank (no extra charge) the most crazy discovery I've made to date! Truck would run great! then all of a sudden fall on its butt & starve for fuel(only with 3/4 of a tank or more) go figure! anywho, thing works fanfriggintastic now & once more I love my truck! cheers, Pat

It was a good weekend :)

yesterday i changed the water pump and alternator and painted all my pulleys and inner fenders...

Today i "isolated" my grill to stop some squeaks, cleaned up a little wiring, and I drove around the city lakes and scouted out some trim pieces

Replaced the upper and lower radiator hoses, the radiator cap and refilled her with Prestone 50/50. She had a senior moment late last night, got all hot and bothered and pee'd all over my driveway.

Cut out the passenger side upper seat belt anchor as the spot welds had broken and the upper anchor was rattling. If I knew before what I know now I would have just drilled above and below the nut and used those holes to plug/spot weld the inside support thingy to the sheet metal. Now, I have to weld the sheet metal back in, sand it, smear on some bondo, sand, repeat a few times and then repaint.

And more importantly, paid for my premium subscription to the board. This site has been awesome! I support things that I think are worthwhile and this was the best $25 I've spent in a long time.

Took off the cowl, pulled out the windshield washer squirters that are full of stinking paint. Found the washer pump buried up under the dash. Going to get a late model bottle and pump, install it and extend the wiring. Also, going to see if LMC or someone has better windshield washer squirters.

Swapped the starter.....again.

Took a ride out to the lake.

Took a side trip onto the powerline road only to turn around when I saw the water crossings. Not doin that mess without a buddy and a yank strap.:lol:

Also found out that the Co-Op Grip Spurs work great in the muck, and for some reason I can no longer engage 4-hi. Not a big deal as long as 4-lo works, but irksome none the less.
