My daily driver/beater : How I turned lemons in lemonade

And, finally where we are today.

Random pictures.















Nowadays, my Honda mainly sits in the garage and I drive the truck most everywhere.



All total, I'm about 2000 dollars into this truck. That includes a whole lot of hard parts that I didn't detail. All new brakes front and rear, brake hoses, cooling system, water pump, fuel pump, belts, battery and cables, gear reduction starter, wiring, door rubbers, window rubbers and more. It's right and tight where it matters most. There are no leaks, seeps or drips of any kind. That's a priority to me. I get so frustrated at people who think these old trucks have to leak. I commute 85 miles round trip from home to the fire station and I can't afford to own a vehicle that I can't depend on to carry me back and forth without fail.

And finally, my wife made me a decal for the tailgate that describes the theme of this project.
