Re: What did you get done?

Hmmm, had a busy and productive weekend for trucks.
Friday afternoon I went and picked up my newly aquired 6.0L LS motor and took it to my brothers shop.
Saturday I started getting all the parts for my "rolling" advertisement together: Dakota Digital setup, Rod Doors interior pieces, Painless wiring harness, Fuel sending unit.... Plus made up an initial list of parts that I need to order for it.
Sunday I started gathering the parts necessary for making the "spare" truck moveable since it will be the new victim. Purchased the 4L80E a friend left for me. Got the 12bolt with 4.10's out of the garage, found the flip kit, mounted some spare wheels on the diff and rolled it out to the frame. Pulled the front clip off the back of the frame and called it a night
Monday I hunted for the U-bolts for the flip all over the place and finally found them. During such time I semi-organized one table in the garage as the were NOT there. After Jamie and I were hunting for them for about 45 minutes a buddy came over and he started to look also and found them within 2 minutes of looking for them.. DUH. Put the rear diff under the frame and ran into interference with the bolt and mounting plate so I needed to fix that (forgot I pulled 2 leafs so bolt was longer ) work on it a while and called it a night.
