Re: What did you get done 11/22/2009 edition
Took all the spare parts out of the back of the x-cab. Including the headlieght bezels I picked up from Locab39 about 2 years ago.
Suspect I need to clean my truck out more often. maybe next year I'll vacuum it. Fired up my MIG for the first time in 15 years. Still works and gas in th bottle even! Bought some 3" stove pipe, going to make an oil vapor seperator for my 6.2. Gottta learn how to MIG first.....

I finished cleaning off the brackets and rivets from the stock rear suspension brackets and the crossmember behind the rear cab mounts. What a PIA.
Today and tomorrow I'll clean up the frame as well as the PO's C-notch, so I can be ready to roll and begin building my four-link after the Thanksgiving holiday weekend ends. Later, Jon D. |
