Relocated the Holley fuel pump to the back of the truck... Also fixed the broken linkage on my transmission... Also installed a Bluetooth receiver so I can run my stereo system off my phone and no head unit needed... If someone looks in my truck all they see is the factory radio delete panel and they move on to the next vehicle

Finally got to see it almost completely blown apart at the bodyshop today. Now the fun begins ,watching them replace the rusty panels and make it new in my design. I never dreamed I would be doing a frame off on my daily driver and as you can probably tell Im very excited.

Fixed the door jam switch, dome light works. Took it to about 5 inspection places to get the sticker. Finally got it done for the right price 14.50. Most places would not let it pass because its to loud.

I bought some real nice back up light lenses from VA72C10 and went to put them on only to find the PO had put it back together without bulbs or wiring for back up lights. ordered a rear harness and housing cups and bulbs from Ecklers to put it together with. When I started diagnosing it I saw the rear harness had beed buggerred up pretty good.

Finished block sanding the bed round 2. Sprayed more primer for block sanding round 3...or is it round 3 and round 4. I hate sanding and I am so confused!!!!! Am I where I think I am in the block sanding steps or has sanding made me crazy? I may have been priming and sanding for months...OH CRAP! I have been priming and sanding for months! Wawawawawawawawawawa...!!!

Worked on getting the wiring fixed. Got the head lights to work, but I will have to order a new light switch to get it all working right.

By the looks of it, all that sanding looks like it is going to be worth it when the color is applied.

Started working on sanding down the tailgate for primer. Fixed the turn signal cancelling springs they were $2.00 at the autoparts store.

Al, I did cry a little..... As far as damage, fender, inner fender, battery tray, radiator support, hood, inner grill, outer grill, headlight pieces etc. And alot of panel alignment. Think it's still straight, but guess time will tell. Meeting with adjuster tomorrow.

Looks great. That's one of the mods that's on the list for mine ... but it has had a bad priority rating in the great scope of things.

Got my front park lights/turn signals working on the 72 this morning. I know, not a big deal, but it will save me some hassles with the local cops! Joseph

Good luck with the adjuster......As long as the frame is good it should be an easy fix.

Long sory short, I was traveling west. She was pulling out of a parkinglot wanting to turn east (left). She was watching traffic in the east bound lane trying to shoot the gap and never looked my way. Her head was still turned when she made contact. :devil:

Sorry about the blazer...you need a train horn...that's what I have.

As for me, my 72 stepper is now on air...I am loving it. Lays frame...now, time to get it painted, interior then wheels and tires.

Bought my truck a sport bumper in pretty good shape (couple small scratches and needs cleaned real good) and dakota door seals for $70 at the local pick-n-pull.
