Receiver hitch I built.

Got all new U-joints put in the driveshafts this weekend, now just need to pull the front axle-shafts and put new joints in those. Also need to put new lockouts on the front end, as the pasenger side got a little worn, due to some comical s.o.b. locking that one.

Looking good! The headache rack is cool.

If you haven't done it already, you might want to add some seam sealer to the area under the cowl where the windshield wiper linkage is. I noticed some rust starting to form on the seam on the firewall. Yours doesnt look too bad yet. I have had that problem on two different trucks. If you start getting rain water leaking into the cab, that's where it comes from.

Thanks, I did that, and put some around the clearance lights on the roof. It had started leaking there as well.
