Re: My 1980 Sierra LWB build

Got back on the Square Horse today and replaced the fuel pump. Only took an hour...what was I waiting 5 months for?? Couldn't fire it up because the battery is dead and I had other things to take care of. Maybe tomorrow.

Over the past 4 months, the truck has sat outside my house, close to the road, and I've had a couple people come by and ask if it was for sale...had it on Craigslist too, with only a couple bites. I just didn't have the heart to fully talk the beast up to sell it, so I'm slowly getting back to working on it. The original working list above still stands, plus I have to register it in CT now that I let my TX reg expire on it.

I'm thinking I may add a little bit of lowering to the mix to give it a little flair. I've found my little Cherokee to be capable of hauling what I need to haul in the meantime, so the truck can be transferred over to do a little show duty. I need paint badly, but the local scene is all about rusting their hoods as well as other "patina" so I fit in pretty well as it stands

More updates as I get 'er back on the road...
