No photos but rear diff cleaned up with pressure washer and setting on jack stands in the shop letting the decades old gear oil out.
Will pull the axles and install new bearings and axle seals. Put it all back together, paint it, and put it back in the truck hopefully while I’m off for the holidays. |

Got the diff done with some help from my son while he is home from school. Got her of the jack stands and did just a bit of patina cleaning on the front fender. I think she will clean up good enough to drive.
Once I get the driveshaft back in and the rear brakes done I’ll swap her around in the shop and go to work on the front suspension, steering, and brakes. |

What has me most concerned is the rust I see in the kick panels. Scared of what else I’ll find in the cowl area when I tear into it. My buddy bought this truck in Conway but it was originally purchased right here in Beebe so in a way it’s come back home. This was his fourth truck and after keeping it in a barn for 10-12 years he decided to let it go so he could work on his other projects. |

Had a new A/C compressor put on and recharged on Friday. Old one locked up last summer. Nice to have A/C again.

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
Finally got the darn headlights working again. I've been watching a lot of videos trying to psyche myself up for digging into my electrical and was getting ready to install a new front light harness but a buddy of mine showed me what the problem was. He actually pulled each wire out of the headlight sockets and cleaned those up and we cleaned up some ground connections. I also put in a set of PIAA super bass horns and those sound really good. Found a set of wire cutters rusted shut inside my front fender :lol: surprised PO wasn't missing those. I know I would have been... :chevy:

Took my exterior door handles off and installed the push buttons, springs, and restrainers from a set of driver quality units from a later model.
Installed new shocks on the rear to match up with the 4” drop and shock relocation. Waiting on parking brake springs to finish up all new rear brakes. |
