Oh yea that a nice looking engine there.

I got a little bit done today.

I checked into getting the front bumper painted. I can get it sandblasted and powder coated for $125.00 but I'll have to bring it in to the paint shop for an estimate.

I might do that Friday morning on my way to pick up the cowl from the epoxy primer guy.

I also cleaned up some screws and asked on here about removing and replacing the heater box caulk.

Added a fresh tach to the ol girl today

Mator · 09-10-2015, 01:55 PM

Added a new rear bumper and new bumper brackets. It doesn't seem to look right though. Brand new premium bumper. Doesn't it look like it is angled down? Is this right?

It does appear to be angled wrong, doesn't it. Beautiful Truck!!

Lanman1972 · 09-10-2015, 02:07 PM

Any chance it is a Fleetside bumper? Or brackets are on the wrong side R&L. Never mounted a Stepside bumper, but that doesn't look right. Beautiful Truck!

That would be my guess. It took me FOREVER to get my back fleetside bumper aligned with a new bumper/brackets. Fitting around the NLE tank and porterbuilt rear frame brace didn't help either.

Doing the front wheel bearing maintenance today, Every year, Ugh!

Phildeez · 09-10-2015, 04:44 PM

I found a crack in my passenger side ram horn. I bought a decent set locally for $20. The only issue I ran into was the new set was the alt. mount type. Instead of modifying the alternator mount to work, I modified the manifold.

Phildeez · 09-10-2015, 04:45 PM

A couple more.

66pnl · 09-11-2015, 03:42 AM

Started the fuel line on the new motor.

Mator · 09-11-2015, 10:55 AM

Added 2 inch blocks to the back courtesy of way2lo2. Now 3-7 to level it out.

man your garage floor is cleaner than my truck . I like the security system too

In The Ten Ring · 09-11-2015, 09:45 PM

More done today than in a long time!

I checked on getting the front bumper sandblasted and painted.

I called but could not reach the media blaster guy that has my cowl.

I drilled out the rivets on the heater box, removed most of the old caulk, washed the heater box, and have some of its internals soaking in Evaporust.

House of color 1125-1 shimmer 2 candy red with a bronze intensifier. Thanks.

In The Ten Ring · 09-19-2015, 07:22 PM

I didn't do much but I did a little. Moved my grill over to my parents' garage, where I'll have more room to work on it.

I NAPA Rust Treated the driver side grill bracket and primed and top coated the passenger side one.
