Only thing I hate about this truck is that im gonna have to go completely thru it and check everything. Thanks to a previous owner who didnt know what they were doing or was just lazy. Maybe it was a little mix of both? I need a park light..but thats the easy part. Im going to re-wire the entire truck. The lights dont work and none of the guages do thanks to some "creative" work from whoever owned it. Not to mention the oil pressure gauge is actually UNDER the hood Guess they wanted to jump out and raise to hood to make sure the engine was still getting enuff oil pressure? (BTW: See it under the mastercylinder? ) They had broke the front driveshaft off at the universal joint and instead of fixing it they just layed the driveshaft up on the crossmember out of the way. I went underneath it and checking it out the other day seeing what all I needed to buy and they didnt even tighten up half the bolts. One bolt on the transfer case was sticking out about a half inch instead of fitting snug and being tight. I must say I think this is going to be a good truck tho, because even with all this stuff messed up the truck still runs great. It has to be good to survive what ever kind of owner it had.

I also need to put a hanger on one of the mufflers. You can see in the pic it is hanging down lower. There is 1 or 2 lug nuts off of each wheel also

Few more:
