Well Sunday morning I installed my new front suspension. I installed new upper and lower control arms, air bags and new 2" dropped spindles all from CPP. I also got the rear end re-installed with new trailing arms and drilled and slotted rotors and new posi unit etc. Also got my new wheels from Race Line with new BFG KDA's. I will post some pictures in the next days or so. Hoping to get the new LS3 installed this next weekend!

Pictures are posted in my album

I drove it to the body shop thats going to do my rust repair to get my parts list in order and bought a perfect original Fleetside tailgate to go on it when its time. Now I have a spare if something happens later on down the road. Looks like my truck will be rust free very soon.

I installed an OG 69 Guide Right side turn signal lens that I found on eBay. The old one was broken and then patched up with epoxy that yellowed.

I put a cigarette lighter into the socket. I bought a lighter assembly that came from a GMC from tll74 on this here site. I needed a lighter to fill the empty hole in the dash. It matches my Chebby just fine.

Replace a bad exhaust/intake gasket on my 250 L6. There was an exhaust leak that sounded terrible. I repainted my shorty headers since they were off.

You can say that again about the gas, it nuts over here, we are paying $1.18 per litre (there is about 41/2 litre to a gallon here) do the math..it bites.

Try to find one of the newer sleeve type seal filler tubes to replace the old O-ring style one on your truck. They run around $30 new.

I have made my own from junk yard donor parts when I couldn't get a new one to fit my needs. Cut off the sleeve type seal from the donor part and weld it to the original O-ring type tube. You have to cut some length off of the original tube to seat the seal properly and get the right fluid level reading.
