I kept noticing Saturday on the way to a car show that i had a squeeking sound. Got ready to drive it to church Sunday morning and found a belt on the ground.So I replaced a alternator belt this morning.

The first good stroal that the new motor has had.Ran purty good.

Bam. Finished it up (do need to get a carbide bit for my die grinder, and clean up a few hard to reach welds). Decided to strip the frame down and put on SPI epoxy instead of the junk I had previously. Stripped and repainted total area under cab. I'll be doing the rest of the frame in pieces as I go.

Installed the first side (driver's) of the electric windows that the P.O. and my friend gave me as a bro-bonus.
I had the doors and windows all done, but I'm really glad for the e-windows.

Tip: If you ever, in the most remote chance think you'll be taking your doors apart again, never, ever, ever use these big handle "guards"
(or whatever you call them) shown in the pic. I had to grind brand new handles into trash to get the door panels off. They simply hide
the clips. At least with the door panels *I* am using.

I got one side ground down, and was grousing like the old codger I am when grandson Will showed up to clean up my mess and save
the day and mood. He handed me tools until one side was all buttoned up.

Now, I'm off for a few weeks and no time for the truck.Bummer. I was hoping to get both sides done so I could mail off both manuals
off and mailed to a Form Member for his build.

After the new tailgate being on over 2 months finally got the new letters on.

Got my to do list of things under the bed done and reinstalled the bed. That sure feels good. In this picture the bed is just setting loose and needs to be shimmed. Now I need to get some body work and a few other details done. Then it's time to drive this thing! Yesssss

[dracula4999]

Pulled the bed off, threw it on a scrap metal trailer and cut the exhaust off.

Yeah, they really help you capture what you want to... even in a cluttered garage!

I got my barn find 74 stepper running after sitting for 20 plus years and put a set of van Ralleys on it. Then I took her for a short drive .

I pulled the doors and rear panels, scuffed, cleaned then painted them a few shades darker to match the newer seats and center console.

I installed a console that a friend gave me. I don't know what it's from, but after some modifications to make it sit level, it worked out nicely. Afterwards, I washed it, and made ready for a Utah trip next week. I get to see how it runs at 10,000 ft.

Console is from a 79 Ford Bronco.

Thanks Bill, I put a couple hundred thousand miles on that wrench, and it shows no wear whatsoever. I need more parts like that.

Killed a tree with it last year, hit right on the frame rail, bent the frame put a big v shape in the tailgate and wrinkled the floor of the bed.
