Put oil in the T-case, Tranny, front and rear diffs. They leak a bit!

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
It's nice out today, so I put it to work, and hauled a load to the compost pile. Got the yard cleaned up, and got to drive the truck. Then me and 2 of my boys sat on the tailgate with the radio on, and had a few cold sodas out of glass bottles, and my 3 year old said " Dad, I love your old truck". That made my day.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!

Not that Im skilled by any means but by my will power and determination I WILL make it look good.

That's the right attitude ! no wonder i see so many great trucks on this site .
Besides , once you give up on it or find a better one , you can hang it on the wall or the side of the garage with some chains holding it horizontal ~ they make GREAT folding seats for visitors.... My truck? it's working as usual , raining lightly in L.A. again this morning .

First you have to figure out what kind of paint you want , single or multiple stage and so on . Du-Pont has a very good Vintage Color Paints Program indeed , it goes by the original color code , NOT CHEAP . I too like that Orange , looks very sweet . Last night I drove my truck to a Car Nut gathering at a shop that apparently does rust repairs and custom body works ~ I talked to the owner and will take my truck there during business hours to let him look at my rusty cab & see what he thinks , co$t$ involved and so on . To - day (Friday) is another work day for the rig , I have some rusty unobtanium gas tanks I have to take to Gas Tank RENU U.S.A. and another shop in Wilmington , see who does the best job on them .

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
PB Blaster, Remove the parking brake, find deep well socket to fit over studs, slide socket over studs and beat socket Hard with hammer. Then beat around edge of drum untill it losens up. repeate steps above with mover force untill it breaks free. if that dosent work some have threaded holes 2 of them, find bolts that fit and tighten them in, they act as a press to press of the drum. Hope that helps a little. Dont be scared to hit the crap out of it.
