Not much rigged on my 77 anymore. There were a couple of things, but I am cleaning that up now. The worst thing I can think of is what I may have to do to fix my door panel.

It may get rigged together just to get me through the next show...

None of my gauges work, except for the speedometer, and even that one bounces around!

Too much to do and being a daily drive not enough time to have it down to get stuff done. Oh yeah then there's the matter of $$$ and lack of

I think it would be easier for me to list the things that work on my truck.

For starters: No speedometer, one brake light, no turn signals, one high beam, windshield washers don't work, only half a back window, heater stuck on, one outside miror, no rear-view miror on the windshield, both u-joints in front axle shafts need replacing, front rotor on drivers side needs to be replaced, the floors in the cab are rotted out, there are no rocker pannels, the motor knocks badly, the transmission slips (new motor and tranny are going in this Thursday).

I could go on. Oh did I mention this is my daily driver. But what do you expect for $50?

The biggest thing that bugs me about my truck, no fuel gauge. My fuel cell does not have a sending unit so every trip is a guess. I am fixing everything else that I can.

Oh yea, I have a little rust popping back up too.

It's been almost a year since I made any modifications or done any body work. I got four days off starting tomorrow. I got enough room in the garage that I'm getting some stuff done.
1. Add the new horns I've had for over a year.
2. Swap the alarm siren from my other truck. It's a lot louder.
3. Install the aluminum radiator with dual 14" fans.
4. Remove the emissions crap and add the RPM Air Gap intake that's been sitting around for almost two years.
