Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
Worked on the seat brackets. Cut them down and inch and got the mounts so it sits back 2". And pulled it out of the garage and turned it around under its own power for the first time.

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
Two hours and I managed to get all of the OEM spark plug stands and wire routing clips installed as well as most of the new ground straps. Sooo much easier to do when you don’t have a radiator, exhaust manifolds and inner fenders in the way under the hood.

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
I wanted to get the cab back on the dolly so I can finish smoothing out the firewall... but the bed was on it. It took quite a bit of finagling and figuring but it’s done.

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
maybe you and I are refering to the same thing Im talking about the blue apparatus you can barely see inside the bed , I have one that lifts the cab that you attach to the engine hoist(i have successfully moved my cab solo) Im wondering if there is something you can use to put inside the bed to lift with no damage ....looks like thats what he did/has /used??

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
Shortened her up a little and changed over to 73-87 style engine mounts. Still need to finish welding the inner sleeve and smoothing the cuts for the motor stands but it’s all in.

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
I took my "new" truck to the mechanic to check all the fluids, and look over everything. When the differential oil came out, I heard "oh $#it". So I took pictures today.

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
Not really, the transmission makes noise, there was water in the oil but no metal. Yes, when I was going downhill and turning right around curves, it howled. As you can see, the pinion gear was hitting the carrier (correct the terms if I got it wrong).
Here is a short video (on Facebook, sorry), showing how loose it was. https://www.facebook.com/10000846199...4929899799056/
