Remember to change those dryer sheets every month or you'll get an unpleasant surprise....

I just came back from running errands in my stalling out C/10 W/ 250 I6 & TH350 , two footing it through dense L.A. traffic isn't my idea of fun .

I stopped to fill the tank and did a fuel economy check ~G , not bad for an old clapped out pickup truck .

I removed all the trim (moulding) from the fender I bought from Jeremiah King. (It came off amazingly easy). Then I ran it over to the body shop to fix the UPS damage.

I got my Aux Battery system working on my longhorn. A big thanks to Roger Koop for the harness, fits and works great. Now I have 12V power at the back of the truck via the camper harness.

Played with glove box stuff while I wait for the new alt.

Nice day. So I was also under the hood cleaning up a little.

In the mail came some faux leather sheeting.

I'm trying to figure out if I want to match the cluster by getting a *real* chrome glove box and covering the center with an insert of this stuff, or just stop all the madness and paint it the color of the dash.

:lol::lol::lol:

I installed the Air tank and compressor on the Frame. Tomorrow I am going to try and mount the Solenoids. Then it is on to Routing the air lines.

Picked up a cherry H052 4.10 ratio 3rd member with it's axle shafts.

Big step forward in getting my burb more highway friendly, by swapping out my 4.57 3rd member for the 4.10's.

I received a call from the body shop, they have finished with the UPS-damaged fender. I will pick it up when the weather breaks. I'll try to get up before and after shots for you guys.

Dano,

Your stuff will be in the mail on Friday. Gave you enough so you could screw up a couple of times. Pretty easy, though. In the glove box door, you can use a needle to pop any air bubbles.

And thanks for the ashtray idea. I stole it. :devil::devil:

Well spent 4 hour trying to get the windshield installed. well it broke. Installer will be back monday with new windshield. Did get the back one in. Still working on shifter.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 
That's a bummer stepsider. I broke a rear once, but the front went it well. Go figure.

I ran my engine today since a buddy came over. Worked on the other car's master/slave clutch cylinders.

Thanks HeathBirkendahl. More ideas to ponder for my trucks. The seats really nice. And different. Never would have thought a stock seat frame.
