Re: What did you do to your truck today!
got some more fittings and line for the rear bags, relocated the ignition switch to the inside of my center console, extended the wiring for the ignition and wired up the starter button. all wiring is done under dash for now except for the gauges which i can do from the front of the dash where the cluster goes.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
Installed the faux-radio (gutted a non-working stocker to fill the dash hole). Checked the door install I did yesterday. It'll need a little more "lining up". Jacked up the back two corners again to check the fit of the roll pan. Warmed up the welder for some roll pan bending/installing when it's a little warmer.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
Did some wire tracing, found a problem and then got it started! Man I'm still pumped! it's about a year and 2 months since I last heard it run. It sounds a lot better to my ears now then it did then. Dunno why, guess it's all the hard sometimes frustrating work I put into it. I drove it a few feet inside the shop just to say I did. Now to find a tailgate and I'm ready for paint!

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
Lowered the rear a couple more inches and installed my adjustable panhard bar kit. Finally had some NW weather that wasn't crap so I took it for a spin and some pictures. Yeah!

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
Got my new Chrome Dome Light Base, Clear Diffusing Lens and Replacement LED Bulb.
Also picked up some Chrome Sun Visor Brackets and a set of Interior Door Handles, to take to the Upholsterer tomorrow. He'll wrap them in Leather and match them up to the rest of the Interior he's re-upholstering. Cab goes into Primmer tomorrow and paint by next week. Then we button it back up! 2 years in the making....I can hardly wait!

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
Congrats, wwotr.
Installed the "new" tilt column. Got sick spraying some primer under the bed and came home. Thanks to ECE, and especially to my wife, for the tilt. Fit like a glove.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
I put a new fuel pump on mine, only to have it die on me halfway to work again. Looks like I will be pulling the gas tank this weekend.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
Thought about taking her out of the garage so I could park my DD in there. It's been around -18 degrees at night the last couple of nights and the little commuter car doesn't like it. I decided to leave her there, snug in the garage. In her rightful place.
