So I started with realizing I needed a reservoir for the power steering pump, then not liking the one I got off a Camaro at the wrecking yard, I found one that looked like it would fit, so I bought it, then trying to get fitting that would go from inverted flair to 6AN then trying to get a fitting to go from metric tubing to 6AN only to find out the new reservoir hit the steering box and the lined wouldn't clear... So I tried to take the pulley off as it was blocking a bolt from coming out so I could slot one of the steering pump bolts so I could swing the pump more upright, and whoever installed it, used red lock-tight on 3mm fine screws and jammed them into two of the bolts holding the hub on the pump shaft. I broke one screw and someone broke one screw installing it and put it in with black silicone to hold it in place... now I get to try and find out who made the pulley setup so I can buy a new hub....

Oh darn, sorry about that. One step forward, two steps back. Seems like most of the things I have to repair on these old trucks is some previous owner's "fixes." Persevere man...

Did my passenger side door seals today. This is the second truck I've used this 1/2-inch self adhesive weatherstrip on. It took about 5 minutes to install and no messy glue required.

Wish it was black.
How does it preform?

It is black, but my flash made it appear grey.
