Removed old homemade fuel tank and installed a boydwelding tank.. Highly recommend, easy installation and fit perfectly .. Also removed old fuel lines and installed steel braided & all AN fittings

Been a while since I've posted on here. But I got it back on the road and put it right to work. I can't say no to free firewood, especially if all I have to do is drive out my drive way and drive onto my next door neighbors property... I was in process of trying to find an affordable material for heat/sound deadener, when I was at the local 99¢ store I found these windshield sun reflectors for $1.27 a piece. Foil on one side foam the other. Bought 5. I stopped by hardware store on way home to pick up roll of aluminum foil tape for ten bux. I spray adhesive the shields back to back so foil would be exposed on both sides, and turned them into panels. I used some good stubble-sided dicky tape in the contours and corners so as not to let them lift. Then foil sealed all sides. I was about four square feet short so picked up a few more to finish the job. Turned out far better than I had predicted, also far cheaper...(I need all the gas money I can get!) I fully insulated the floor pan from firewall to gas tank for about $20! Also I got the low pile carpet for free from a friend. I'm no carpet installer, and I accept that. But it will get me by until I can afford better. It definetly keeps the cab cooler and quieter, even with my "super" 40's! Now I can actually hear my stereo.

I got my seat back from the upholstery shop yesterday and I set it in the truck temporary just to see how great it's going look. I ordered the seat cover from Seatz out of Anaheim, CA & had a local upholstery shop put the new cover on & installed new foam. I also included a before pic.

[Econman]

Very nice!

I did a nice, easy maintenance afternoon where I changed the oil, put on a new lower radiator hose, lubed/greased the front end, rotated the 2 front tires and changed out the power steering fluid and did a little underhood clean and tidy stuff. Nothing too serious.....and, well, it was actually last weekend....LOL
(note: still haven't resolved the increased power steering 'whine' tho'....)
All Good

I busted a hood hinge 10 days ago, so Wes from Classic Heartbeat hooked me up with some nice ones.
And I've been driving around w/o power brakes the last month, so I finally replaced the power booster.

[texasld]

About 32 hours later and it's a different color!!!

[birdistheword]

Replaced the original 45 year old upper and lower ball joints and put in a set of 2in lowering springs up front.

[Econman]

Rebuilt my valve body, added a shift kit and started rebuilding the sub-assemblies in my TH350.

[allchevy58]
