Only a 2" lift, it actually looks like more.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
1. I took out some trashed 6x9 that where cut into the door panels (going to be replaced anyways) painted them black just because and added a 1 off custom high speed cup holder.
2. Slaped a MDF wooden box toget her to add radio so I wouldnt have to cut my dash (temp fix), found the shift knob at Walmart thought it was kinda cool and better looking than the broken $x$ knob that I had. |

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
Its alive!!! After a great weekend working on the old girl she fires right up. Took her for the madin drive around the block no worries. Ran to the loacl mall that has a tag and tile shop and paid the additiaol 60.00 fee but was worth it. Put the tags on and headed out for a saturday night drive. Well the New Process 203 transfer case soon put a damper on my weekend. Seems the PO did not disclose all. It makes an ungodly noise. Going to check a few threads and hope its a quick fix. But doubt it. Any way it runs!

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
Nice day today.
Went out and uncovered her. Fixed the tach wire that'd come loose from the fuse panel, lined up the body lines for the hood. Lubed the hood hinges. Made this little video to check before I change the stance around a little. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N_ugg...ature=youtu.be Tweeked down the fuel mix a 1/4 turn, 'cause it was a little rich. Took some stills for the same reason as above. I bought 1.5" spacers for the rear. The 1" on the back I'll put up front. They are really high quality and I've been running these for a while. http://tinyurl.com/8czblhz Finally, I went for a little ride. I determined the metallic "boink!" I was hearing from time-to-time that I thought was somewhere in the suspension is the fuel tank. It's bolted in solid, but I guess I must need to put some spacers in or some rubber insulator, because I get the clunking noise every once in a while with some body "flex" going over bumps.... Here's one I Photoshopped moving the rear wheel out .5" like it will be with the new spacer. And then, the "Before". All around, a good day.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
Clean the other guys trash out of the bed, started re wiring until my soldering iron stopped working, new 2ga battery cables, throttle return spring bracket, pulled the right rear axle and checked the brakes (needs now ones, and bearings, and seals), and swapped some different wheels.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
Installed my rear brake lines from Inline Tube. The passenger side fit great but the driver side was absolutely terrible! Had to rebend it around the pumpkin, all the bends were wrong! I also installed a new door jamb switch on the driver side and now my dome light works again.

But like I said, you'll do a better job than I did of making it a non-leaker *before* it goes in.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
Well, it was last Sunday, but bought and installed a front and rear chrome bumper off a 69 C10 getting parted out. Also got the windshield to replace my fogged up one, Spring project.
