Keep at it, and one day it will fall together suddenly!. I come to Memphis with my wife several times a year too see the bears at the zoo! You should try to make the Southeast Truck Nationals. There are trucks and people from all over!

Messed around a little today. Put on a new dash pad from SoKyClassics. I think it looks good. The other is just a shot I like.

Funny story there. I pulled my cluster to swap dash pads (which means unhooked line from oil press. guage). Could not find nuts for dash pad, so couldn't put cluster back. This made me decide to plumb air ride. Plumbed air ride then stumbled across nuts for dash pad (in the bag pad was in, crazy) bolted down pad, and set cluster in, but did not hook up. I need some more ATF too. I ran out of time. I think all I need is to hook up the cluster, finish filling the trans, and make sure everything is tight, then I'll be ready!

Re: Cubber's Build Thread

I hear that. It's real easy to get absorbed with our trucks. Need to stop and enjoy our family. For me I'm lucky that my 8 year daughter loves helping her daddy "work on his truck"

Re: Cubber's Build Thread

Tried to drive the truck today. Shifter linkage come loose, truck almost went through the wall. After I cussed and burnt myself on the exhaust, I realized I was missing the spring, washer, and cotter pin that holds it all in place. also have an air leak that I'm gonna have to take the right front bag off to fix. Hooray for me, lol.

Not your fault! I shoulda checked it. On a side note, the engine feels pretty torquey!
