Changed out the open chamber spacer to the correct carb spacer. Trucks runs better and seat of the pants feel has more power. Before I buttoned it up I had to flip the new spacer over to get full secondaries

Changing gear oil at 500 miles. Tweaked the cover trying to get it off (was well sealed!) waiting on a new cover to refill it again.

Small progress on Saturday. Had to do an oil change in my daughters car and some other routine maintenance on the rest of the fleet.

F I N A L L Y got the windshield installed in my truck. Had a hard time finding anyone to do it due to the age. I finally found someone and they had a guy come out who didn't know what he was doing and bent up my stainless trim. I got some more trim and polished it up. The owner of the company kept calling me and apologizing and promising to make it right but he kept having one calamity after another (not sure they were legit reasons but...). Finally he gets a guy he uses to come out supposedly Friday then Saturday and finally he shows up today and does a great job and is done in less than an hour. Amazing when someone knows what they are doing.

Installed the 6 cyl. single exhaust kit from LMC. Down pipe is a tad long, and tail pipe a tad short for me, but in all a huge improvement over what I had. Got the turbo muffler. Has a nice little tone to it. Rattle canned the wheels, and did a paint pen makeover on the caps. She’s good from far, and far from good.

Got some bed rails from To Much Stuff on the way too but those need a little clean up (also bought hardware kit and wood decals off eBay). With the Bumpers and Rails installed, I think the truck will look snappy. Very excited for these add-ons :-) :uhmk: |

Front bumpers received and installed. But they didn’t come with the bottom brace - I don’t think they’ll move.
Edit: Forgot to add, I had to cut out notches on my shop table at the bottom. My garage door bracket was going to scrape my back bumper. Now after notching my shop table, I have like 1/4 inch between the garage door bracket and the back bumper! I really need a SWB Truck, LOL! |

Bought one of the new black powdercoated 12 bolt covers and gave her the 500 mile gear oil

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
I guess I'm slacking here. Back on July 31, I got a new carb for the old 250. It didn't run spot on right out of the box & my schedule has been super tight. Got around to tuning on it last week & took it down the road for a quick spin. I was most pleased. Friday, I got the plates renewed for the year. Wait, did I do some of those steps out of sequence? Lol.

Got my drivers side door glass installed along with the door panel. I still have to put in the door fuzzies but I have to trim them a little bit and ran out of gas.
Passenger side next weekend! ?? |

I was at the same place as you.....did the 2.5 spindle front and 4" in the rear.
The rear was still to high so added a 1" lowering block and ended up with this. The pic gods got me again, sorry!:) |

Polished and installed the mirrors and working on the windwing window gaskets, what a pain. Still looking for the rear upper molding, NOS. One straight one out of five that I've bought. Last two UPS delivered were damaged, both ends blowned out.
