igreek,

If you don't mind me asking, how much did you pay for that truck? Just trying to get a feel for what people are paying in different parts of the country.

Spent a few hours installing my E-Brake cables on my trailing arms today, And fitting my trac bar. Now i need to figure out my intermediate cable lenght..

Sandblasted and painted the PS pump and some accessory brackets, one step closer to firing her up for the first time!

How do I rotate the pictures so they're right side up? If I upload from my photobucket account the pictures are too big, but if I attach the file it ends up sideways. Any thoughts?

You have to load them to a laptop are other computer. Open them in Micrsoft photo and rotate them before you up load them is the only way I have found.

If the photos are on your phone you can do it there. Every phone is different but on most while viewing the photo go to the menu three dots.
The choose edit there you can lighten darken rotate crop.... Save to the same or new name.

Do you have a build thread on this truck?

Finished up an interior renovation, here's a little before and after action....

magwakeenercew2jh · 12-21-2015, 04:14 PM

My Dec 21 birthday was celebrated last night. The grandkids brought me something
for my BD to put *ON* the tree.

You can't see it in the tree pic., but it's front-and-center.
Will be next year, too.

Funniest thing is that both of them said, at almost the same time as I opened it,
"It's not the correct year, but as close as we could get!" Hahahaha!

Great present.

Those kids know what grandad likes for sure. 😊

Lanman1972 · 12-21-2015, 06:24 PM

I received this ornament about 10 years before I got a truck. Now just need to paint it orange to match.

tdangle · 12-21-2015, 07:52 PM

I was able to get a couple of hours away from the Christmas rush to change the return hose on my power steering pump and pick up an HEI pigtail. Next is to install the HEI Distributor and a new fuel sending unit.

I unloaded mine off of a transport. Well, my wife did anyway. I at least drove it around the block for the first time. Made up for a not so fun day at work. It was especially fun watching the kids get so excited!
