Re: What did you do to your truck today!
I installed the bulkhead fitting for my air conditioning lines in the firewall tonight. Of course the Aeroquip fittings I bought won't thread onto the bulkhead fitting, something is wrong with the threads. I wonder how Vintage Air will handle this little problem.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
Instead of assembling my brakes, I pulled it further apart... Fixed the bad helicoil... and figured out I need some new seals and probably lower kinkpin caps...

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
Washed it and went for a mini-cruise. Installed the transmission shifter indicator, but think I have the wrong one since it sticks above about the housing.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
I found out last night I got the wrong plug wires from summit so i went to the parts store and got some MSD universals. That was the biggest pain in the ass until i discovered dish soap makes the boots slide much better.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
Since I haven't been on for a while...
Saturday changed the oil and greased front end. Two plugged zerks on control arms and broke one on a ball joint that ended up having a couple cuts in the boot too.  Today, hauled 1086 lbs steel and 224 lbs copper to scrap yard.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
Got frustrated trying to change my drivers door, the truck just had new cab corners and rockers installed before I bought it and installed a bit high are the rockers, so cutting them off tomorrow night then refitting it myself, some people just don't pay enough attention to detail do they. Oh well, just take a bit longer to get doors on.
