Ughhhhh, the previous owner had decided that 4 inch trailer lights from Wal-Mart was the way to go for brake lights. Today, we decided differently. I had a few pieces of 14 gauge steel and the neighbor kid was more than willing to weld in the patches and this was what we finished prior to it getting dark. !'ll finish grinding tomorrow as it just got to late and too noisy

here's a few shots of my neighbor welding in the patches

Well, today I went and got my book out of my truck.

I'm broke and it's my daily driver. Can't afford to tear it apart, lest I not be able to get to work in the morning.:waah:

Early Classics. Fit perfectly and was pretty easy to install.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

I installed the same ECE Super Track Bar with 6 inch drop coils last year. Great Setup.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

I went with 5" springs in the rear. The install was straight forward and all components fit as advertised. Starting on the front this evening. Installing 1" drop coil combined with 2 1/2" drop spindles.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

Hey Glider,
Do have a high hump or low hump cab? Is that a hurst shifter? I like the way that setup looks.
Dano

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

Hey Dano, thanks,
I have a low hump. I originally did buy a Hurst but sent it back , the shifter seemed like it was going to be a bit short and I didn't want to have to lean forward to have to shift, plus it was about $100 bucks more than the one I put in which is from MR. Gasket, I did the install by myself, it wasn't to bad. almost forgot, the Hurst kit didn't even come with shifter boot cover. I would have had to buy that extra.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

Removed driver's side A-arm, spindle, rotor, spring, shock...

Install new components tomorrow.;)

Ordered a DIY4X rear flip kit to get rid of the blocks and get read for the 14bff...

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
 

These old slot mags just scream classic IMO... I love em. When I was a kid (many moons ago), I bought a set of mags for my first car, and they didn't fit. I kept them, thinking one day I might be able to use them. My dad told me to get rid of them, so I hid them under my bed! I got to use them after all when they fit my next car perfectly. Now if I could find a cheap set for my truck...

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
