Re: What did you do to your truck today part IV
Finally got the Bronco Washer / Radiator overflow installed and working. Not my idea. Got it from someone here on the forum. Works great though..

Re: What did you do to your truck today part IV
A few weeks ago, I was getting ready for a camping trip that we went on and decided that I wanted to get a few things done to make the trip a little better for us. I started with the radiator overflow - washer reservoir.
Next up was the cable operated kick panel vents that had been under my house for at least a few years. Thanks Michael Bustamante!

Re: What did you do to your truck today part IV
Next up was the Warn steps. As we've gotten older, the wife hasn't felt like jumping up into the truck like she used to. Bad knees. I wanted to make it a little easier for her (and me
 ) to get in to the truck but wanted a lower profile step. I had a set of these on a crew cab years ago and really liked them. Well built, rubber coated and stamped with the Warn logo. Well, I went to try and find them only to find out that Warn hadn't made them for a number of years at that point. Ended up finding a set on EB and snatched them up. They give the right amount of drop for us yet aren't hanging too low.. Passenger rocker is solid too. Had to add the drivers side rocker to my list. One step forward and 2 - 1/2 back. Oh well. The steps work great!

Re: What did you do to your truck today part IV
Finished the initial fab & welding for my coil-over conversion brackets. They just require cosmetic focus now & will get some color.

kens65fb, sent you a pm.

A few minor updates. Successfully relocated the gas filler in the under bed tank after changing out the bed. Rewired the parking lights to stay on when headlights are on. But I plan to change to a different style LED that looks more original. Added LED brake lights Add a LED dome light. Not sure if it was a good idea because it shows how bad the interior looks.

Re: What did you do to your truck today part IV
Ditched my low quality aluminum valve covers with their crappy homemade baffles for some nice stamped steel "tall boys". They actually have an OEM style baffle.
I think they suit my motor better anyhow. |

Re: What did you do to your truck today part IV
Finally got my headliner reinstalled. It started falling down about a year ago because the glue on the back of the velcro lost it adhesiveness in the heat. I got a velcro with a strong glue.

I think photos get turned sideways when I post them from my phone. If I post them from my computer they end up correct.

Re: What did you do to your truck today part IV
Thanks. The upholsterer that did my interior made it. It is a soft heat shielding that is usually used under the carpet, covered in pleated cloth with a Velcro backing.
