one stock one. I couldn't get to one with my big ham-sized Popeye forearms... Anyway, I don't know what 168 Nokya hyper-bulbs are. I know it was $40 including shipping for four...which I thought was steep. Hope they last. Maybe these pics will help someone decide whether or not to do the switch.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
Ground out the old cracked and weathered seam sealer in the drip rail, sanded, and resealed. Should have been done 20 years ago and is the cause of about half of the rust that it has. Hope the rain/snow holds off long enough tomorrow to let it cure enough to sand a couple spots smooth and shoot some primer over it.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
I tried to start the '67 to move it out of the garage so I could replace the radiator in the '92 K-3500. The 454 in the '67 wouldn't start, I think it is a fuel problem.
I decided to use my 4 wheeler, Kawasaki, to pull the '67 over to a carport. Finally got the '92 in the garage and removed the old, leaky radiator. Had to stop and help my brother work on the hydraulics on his little Kioti tractor.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
Replaced a leaky lower hose, moved the temp sending unit while I had the coolant drained, replaced the power steering pump and pressure hose. Sounded like marbles rolling around in there!! Tracked down a tranny leak. Had to watch it for a while running to track it down. More to do tomorrow...

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
Hauled an old furnace, air conditioner and some recycling this morning.
This afternoon, reattached the downpipe to the exhaust manifold after I literally "blew a gasket" but this time went sans gasket thanks to some advice on this forum. It'll hold 'til I get my new manifolds or headers. Changed oil and filter. Drove it some more with the window down. It was a beautiful day in Columbus, OH. |

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
Installed the OER tailgate that I found today at Summit's "Scratch and Dent" sale (which cost me less than $100, including tax).
Also installed new fuel sending unit and was surprised to find this part from LMC had a metric size hex (but fortunately retained the proper, non-metric thread for the steel line) on the fuel fitting. |

Kicked out my old cracked windshield to find the rust monster munching away.
