K1's build thread

[k1rodeoboater]

Since I've got a 4 day here are my tentative plans

Friday
- swap out passenger outer tie rod end
- get grease gun fitting free from driver inner tie rod end
- get all fittings greased up and torqued to spec

Saturday
- get brake lines installed
- get MC installed
- get brakes working!!!

Sunday
- Finish anything not completed from the previous two days
- pull taillight harness and rebuild it off of the truck that evening
- reinstall tailgate
- reinstall drivers side step

Monday
- re-install taillight harness
- install new tail lights

I also have a few side projects that need to get done, but I'm saving those in case of rain.

- rust repair, primer, and paint on the drivers rear fender I just got
- clean up rusty sill plates (going to try the CLR and scotchbrite trick)
- clean up and paint the take off tailgate chains I've got


If I can get all of that done I'll be pretty dang happy. If I can get it driveable I may take it down the street and have them build me an exhaust setup from the mainfold back. I'm holding off on the alignment because I need to rebuild the upper and lower A-arms yet, though I may just pay a shop to do it all at once.

I still haven't heard back from my contact I've been using for rust repair panels....starting to get a little erked about it. I'd like to get those panels ASAP so I can start doing rust repair next weekend.
