Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
Great choice on the LEDS and steering wheel. I think have the same LEDs in my truck.

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
Pulled out the old vinyl, cleaned up some light surface rust, installed sound deadener and carpet. Now just to clean up, but thrilled with the feel of the interior with carpet versus the old flooring. Pictures aren't cooperating at the moment...

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
One of my Heater hoses had an annoying drip, so I upgraded both with new clamps - silicone style instead of the ones I had.

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
Yes, Amazon for me too. I've ordered many for all of the hoses, including the main upper and lower radiator. They are actually pretty reasonable. I made sure to measure the smaller hoses to get the right millimeter range - the first ones were too small. Most of them I also polished up a bit on the buffing wheel

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
What do you think of the silicone hoses? Did you switch the radiator hoses as well or just the heater hoses?

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
I'm glad you called me on this, because in my research I assumed it had the silicone component - actually, EDPM rubber. As opposed to other hoses I had, it has a rubbery feel, (not smooth like the Goodyear Hose) - seems to be much better quality and sealing better.

Rims and tires always make a big difference.

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
Tried the Eastwood brake line flairing tool for the first time to make a gas line for the 68 . Worked very well just need to get a holder clamp for the line so it doesn’t vibrate to much . I tried to replicate the oem as best I could but since I added an in-line it’s not factory correct
