Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
Well it seems I caused myself more work. I went to move the truck the Sunday night and found the dash lights not working. I dug into it last night figuring it was just a ground. After checking all the grounds I also noticed no parking lights, running lights or break lights not working. It really surprised me because I have been driving it and didn't notice it. Come to find out when I installed my new door sill I screwed through the wire for the dome light and grounded it out and blew a fuse.
 Now I stripped a screw and have to find a new one at Fastenal. Two steps forward one back.

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
I took the old cut off on the negative side of the battery off and put a regular mount back on it. The local car audio guy said it was what was making my lights go deem at night. I also polished up the new inserts I bought last week.
Oh I fixed the power steering leak also.

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
Today I blacked out the custom grille to better hide Ole Blu's missing tooth as you can see in the before picture. Also I removed the bug screen the previous owner had on there and installed the hood emblems. At first I had just removed the billet grille, but I didn't like the emptiness. So I sandblasted the chrome off and painted it black. There was too much chrome anyway, and I was never really happy with the way it looked. I'm happy with the way it looks now. Still working on the bed. I'm finally done sanding now. I just need the rain to stop so I can stain and seal it.

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
Made a bracket to hold my fuel pressure regulator in place. Gotta remove for paint and it will be done.

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
Scrounged these things from the jy for the k20 not bad for A Couple of dollars.
of course a lil' clean up is necessary. Still need 2 frame brackets that won't be easy to get off.

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
THANK YOU ALL for the wonderful pictures !
.They keep me motivated even though my truck is just sitting in my driveway inoperable and I have the bed full of parts as it's blocking one of my daily work spaces.... I walk past it multiple times a day and curse the body shop but I do have a plan , a long and slow one but I want to drive it again so badly..... I look at everyones hard works and dream of clattering and wheezing down the road again with a load on and my elbow out the driver's side window . I see one removed the stepside bed and installed a fleetside ~ I cannot imagine this but I'm a Farm Boy who loves and needs those steps for work / loading =8-) .

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
Today I put the new fuel line from the pump to the carb on and when I was tightening the line at the pump, I apparently over tightened it and the pump started leaking. So I also installed a new fuel pump. I guess I don't know my own strength. Hey Rocky, watch me pull a rabbit out of my hat!...
