Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
Attempted to change fuel filter, but the line nut is stuck pretty good.
Was afraid to mess the threads up or bend the line. Also was gonna change the oil and filter, but the oil pan is bent up pretty bad, concerned to get the drain bolt to seal again. These past couple weeks have been rough trying to undo all the rigged up, backwoods ass work that's been done over the past 45 years lol. |

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
Front is a 4" drop with 3" spindle and 1" CPP spring. Rear is a 5" DJM flip kit. Yes that's correct it is a rear leaf spring truck. I think Front was $325 in parts and the rear was $135.

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
I have a factory sway bar on my truck and they are ( I'm pretty sure ) 7/8 inch thick. I picked up a 1 1/4 inch sway bar from a wrecker from a 85 1 ton Chevy and will be installing that with new polyurethane bushings. If you do not have a front sway bar put one on, they are literally a bolt in , and you won't believe the difference it makes in the handling of your truck. I haven't driven the truck enough to comment on the shocks but the truck stands a touch taller now and seemed smoother on the ride home from the shop. Living on the Prairie here in Western Canada there are not a lot of canyons to carve...

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
Nearly finished cleaning the exhaust heat shield under the passenger side, oh boy. Guess it wants an overnight vinegar soak. Nice piece though, no pitting.
Installed the bench seat adjuster wire in the driver, and if an operable seat wasn't cool enough, I found the original jack handle & stow-away bag hid behind the seat. Did my part to help keep Wes in business. Good parts and always great information. Must have been on the phone an hour.

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
Finally put the dimmer switch grommet in months after installing the carpet and just cutting an X for access. Seriously just used a box knife after stressing about doing it "right" and it fits perfectly. Ignore the old torn rubber mat, it came with the truck that way 5 years ago!

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
What setup do you have on front to use a 3" spindle? I've only seen 3" spindles for 73-up.
