Today I went and found a drivers side vent window frame. So tomorrow I will tear it apart and sand blast the frame. Don't know when I will paint the frame yet. I hate to get all the paint ready for just that little bit of work. I will install the new red sway bar bushings tomorrow I know. Had to move the air compresser to the back of the shop and run a longer electric wire to the compresser. Also a longer wire for the welder also to the back of the shop. felling a lot better now since the tooth is gone.

Today I was going to work on my truck. But I got a call and had to return to work for a week. So I guess my truck will have to wait. Got to build 4 counter tops and a bridge for a pond.

I am working on another project for a couple. Building 4 counter tops this week. So not to much will get done on the truck. At least I will be able to order a wiring harness. I finshed installing the 2 inch insulation boards in the ceiling and walls in the shop. It will be nice and cool for the rest of the summer and warn this winter.

Today I had to wait for the materials for the counter tops to get here so I installed the red poly front sway bar bushings. It was good to work on the old girl. It seems like a long time since I have done anything to her.
here is the picture before I installed the bushings.
Here is the sway bar bushings installed in the truck. It shows a lot of dust and sand everywhere.

This working everyday is for the birds or for the young. I will be glad when this project is over with. (counter tops that is) I enjoy working on my truck. I ordered a rebuilt dash cluster today. It takes three weeks to rebuild and ship it. I first have to ship my old dash cluster and he builds it with all new parts and gages and sets the speetometer to zero. I will post pictures when it comes in. Just another step into finshing this project.

I'm a long way from wiring my truck, but it will come in very handy when I'm ready. Get to feeling better.:chevy:

Today, I worked on the vent window frame. After I took it apart and cleaned it, I found the rust was a little worse than I thoght. So I cut the rusty part out and replaced it with good metal from another window frame. It turned out real nice. I also installed the mirrow suport bracket. The one that fits inside the door. But somehow I misplaced the other bracket for other door. So I will have to find a relacement.

Hope everyone is felling better, George. The vent frames look good.

Sounds like you're getting ready to be very busy for a while with all that stuff coming in. You may not have any time to spend more money any time soon!
