My Pickup is BACK on the road..- Big upgrades are done!

[BrianStep72]

Guys and Gals,

As of 7pm tonight, MY TRUCK IS BACK ON THE ROAD.
I've completed the power brake upgrade, installed the new power steering pump (BIG DIFFERENCE & NO LEAKS). I've installed my new stereo (kenwood), my new 6 CD changer (in glove box).
I installed a new Seat Cover (Leather with Custom look). New seatbelts (3 instead of the stock 2).
I put my new chrome (from king parts) bumpers front and rear and window shade vents also from king. I also built a hinged plywood bed cover and installed it with vinyl top. The truck also now has a spare tire in the bed (i need to install it underneath)

My truck looks GREAT and runs even better.

Thanks so much for your advice and support these past 3 months.

The only thing remaining is that the brakes are a little tight (i'll try the backup trick tommorrow) and i need to get the spare mounted underneath. (Should I buy a kit? or build one?)

Thanks again for everything!

Brian

Congrats! Fun to get it back on the road, huh?

Can you tell us about the power steering change? I've wondered if there's a big difference between the stock ones in '72 and newer ones. There's a different feel to the whole thing. Is yours stock or upgrade and, if so, details please.

It would also be cool to see some pictures.
