Is it a full foam seat or did you have to modify the new foam?

Post Re: What did you do to your truck today!

To get ready for my road trip to - day I unloaded the cab & bed , vacuumed then washed the rig , scrubbed the un finished oak bed wood , boy howdy was there a lot of leaf mulch built up & difficult to remove (TIP : use a stiff brush and vacuum to clean around the edges and along the sides of the metal strips before applying soapy water) .

I need to figure out how to get the black staining off the boards then apply some Tong Oil as this bed is only a few years old and I want it to last .

Then I jacked up and blocked the front end , removed the wheels , replaced the crappo Taiwanese grease seals that were weeping grease onto my brake shoes , inspected the wheel cylinders for leaks / seeps (none , yay) cleaned up the dust on the shoes & backing plates , replaced both worn thin front drums with well priced new new ones from Good Guy Dano , (THANK YOU DANO ) , cleaned off a bit more of the accumulated old grease on the suspension parts , greased the entire front suspension , washed both front wheels inside & out & re assembled everything , replaced the old ATF dipstick with a long one from a G Van then re - tightened the perenially loose head pipe to exhaust manifold joint .

I found a rock hard vacuum hose & replaced it then leaned out the idle mixture a tiny bit , it idlessmoother now and has better off idle throttle response .

t was 100 + * F , not much fun for an old fat guy but I like to tinker and this truck gets ever better
