Some of these days, when it's cold and wet, and generally depressing, I forget that I LIKE to wrench. On these days, I'd rather have a truck that's as nice as yours (hell, wouldn't even have to be THAT nice) that I could tinker with if I wanted to...And drive it in the mean-time. In my experience, that's a great way to save money, too. For me, tinkering's dangerous. It leads to the hard stuff.;) That new truck of yours looks very sweet. |

Replaced the battery and added more tranny fluid. Now off to register and get new custom plates. I may also order my drop spring and leafs but gotta check the wallet first!

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
scraping and cleaning and sanding the susupension/chassis it is caked with dirt and all. This truck has been sitting somewhere in the desert field since late 80's or early 90's. I painted it with some cheap flat black but was kinda half butt so I am scraping it all off and starting over today.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
Well since the Trucks in for Interior Paint, I bought a new Steering Wheel to match the Leather seats. Then I bought a Billet "Dress-up Kit" for the Steering Column, along with a Billet Gear Selector. I'm going to buy some "bare" Interior Door Panels, and take them, the Visors and Dash pad,
all into the uhpolsters and have them cover all 3 items, to match the wheel. Then I bought some 360 Degrees Green LED lights for my Silver Faced Autometer Gauges. Also going to pick-up some aftermarket Kick Panels/Speakers too. |

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
Well guys, I did the same thing today that I've done everyday for almost a year now. I got up this morning, Started the ol Pickup, finished getting ready for work, hopped in the cab and away we go! We had some fresh snow this morning, love beating my little truck through the snow!

Cleaned up the a power steering gear box and the pump.. going to paint them once I know I have all my brackets and alse started measuring everything up to see what is missing. That rag joint doesn't look like it's going to be fun to take off. probably going to pull part of the steering shaft from the firewall too.
