Re: What did you do to your truck today!
Added a new Antenna and ran wire for speakers today. Nothing too crazy but a major pain to take out the glovebox liner without ruining it.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
Son and I gave up on trying to use the angle grinder with wire brush to get rust off...too many places are hard to get to. So, we decided to get it sandblasted. Then, we started pulling the front end off, so we can get as much of it blasted as possible. Still gotta pull the lower control arms/shafts, then the crossmember. Next week, we're gonna finish that part, then pull the rear end/trailing arm ass'y.

Drove it to work and back, then changed the oil and a header gasket. First time in awhile I could even get a vehicle in my shop!

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
Here is the factory set up
Cut the holes in the lower four and center upper to fit the Autometer 2 1/16th" gauges Added a little paint The speedo and tach backing clamps ,where a tad to short for the sheet metal backing panel so,, I added a little RTV and waa la The autometer 2 1/16th" gauges fit the lower four spots in the factory panel like they are born there The factory panel had the highbeam light in a gauge so, had to add one, sadly the hole is a little off center.. The speedo and tach fit the factory holes "almost" the factory rolled the metal edges, so to close up the hole a little, I unrolled the flange a little , and Waaa la.. The highbeam and turn signal lights are l.e.d. and the finished panel , only thing missing is the upper three gauges glass, that is being buffed, then I'll install and have a better pic of the finished product.. |

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
I reassembled and installed the passenger side rear wheel hub/drum and axle. I removed the differential cover, drained the oil (yuck), and cleaned the cover, attaching hardware, and gasket surfaces. I counted 41 teeth on the ring gear and I didn't see any obvious damage.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
Finished up fiberglassing my center console. Tomorrow I will be putting a layer of fiberglass bondo on it to smooth it out to the shape I am looking for.
Also did some work on my Radiator/Support Cover. The Primer is still a bit wet. but this gives you an idea of what it will look like.
