Re: Restoring Rusty
Surgery is not an option, the doctor I saw today said no need for MRI cause I do not need surgery I don't have that type of injury/symptoms. It's basically ice, rest, and try to move around as much as possible without pain.

Re: Restoring Rusty
My chiropractor is $28 a visit. I don't even have them submit it, since I am going to be paying it on deductible anyway.

Re: Restoring Rusty
Some of the best Chiropractors I've seen only take cash. They're usually fairly inexpensive because they don't have the overhead to handle insurance.

Re: Restoring Rusty
Be careful and smart. Back pain sucks. My doctor told me once to take a Tylenol and ibuprofen together. One each and a glass of water. It has worked really well for me. I can't take pain pills. Makes me grumpy in the mornings. I feel that once you have back pain it just sticks around. It likes to hide and then one day you get that pop and there she goes. Get better soon.

Re: Restoring Rusty - Newly POR-15ed Bed Floor
Funny but I got rid of most of it by my choice. We literally had two of everything. So bye bye.

Re: Restoring Rusty
Thanks to a great friend GTO Mike who drove across town and my brother, Rusty is all put back together, here is a pic of the first load, the remains of the old rusty bed floor and the left over parts of the donor bed, on their way to a metal recycler, these bits are way past saving
again a huge thank you to Mike and John |

Re: Restoring Rusty
Hey Greg, if you want to make your tail lights look new again give them a good buff with some metal polish then go over with a good wax. Did it on mine 6 months ago and they still look great. Really helped to turn back the clock on my truck!

Re: Restoring Rusty
It's been 30 days for me and still dealing with it here. My work really would prefer me gone at this point. It is their policy not to employ people with problems, I guess. Last weekend I forced myself to do a little on my truck. It took a full day to swap my column out for a tilt version. normally that only take a couple of hours.

Re: Restoring Rusty
Back on page 15 when you were cleaning up the intake and heads, how did you go about that? I just started cleaning up my engine and im always worried that Im going to get a bunch of grime in the engine.

Re: Restoring Rusty
I think I shoved large paper paper towels into the intake openings in the heads, not the half sheet ones, don't sweat it too much unless you get metal shavings in there, or wire brush bristles, if you get some dirt it will blow out, I don't recommend being sloppy, but I would not dismantle the engine if a tiny piece of dirt fell in, know what I mean, share some pics, so I can live vicariously through you, hee hee
