I've been sanding and sanding and sanding on my hood to get the high build primer where I want it. Damn, these hoods are big and with a lot of nooks.

Rebuilt the starter today. Brushes were ground down to nubs :)
Went to get gas and it wouldnt start back up. thought the battery was toast but a diff battery showed otherwise.

Napa couldnt even find anything for a starter on a 305 v6. All they could find was stuff for a 305 v8. Finally a mechanic from the back came out and grabbed some brushed out of a box and said "Here's what ya need" No computer and parts book needed. If it wasnt for him the ladies at the counter woulda been tryin to sell me a whole starter for $90.00 that MIGHT be the rite one! The brushes only cost me $3.65 :)

[vent] Nothing cause mother nature is a tease. It's 60 and sunny at 2 this afternoon and by the time I get home at 5 it's 40 and breezy. Now it's sleeting sideways with predicted snowfalls of 2 inches over night. Supposed to be back to 60 when I go back to work on Monday. [vent off]

What did you use for your donor tailgate? I'm guessing 88-98 C1500 but want to be sure. I've been wanting to do the same thing. Looking good.

I got the wiring harness out of the new (used) cab and put the new firewall pad in (what a pia) and loosely installed steering column and ready to put my harness in the new cab.

I was gonna try and use the new harness but it is different than mine and has other options I don't need plus I onlt got the inside part not the matching exterior harness.

I don't want any surprises later. I know my original harness is good so gonna use it.

Hey, progress is progress. I sat on my ass all day and watched it rain :waah:
I was hoping to get out and finish up painting my bed, but mother nature said no. This weeks project: find some new tires and rims (easier said than done), and get the damn thing painted.
