sorry folks - i am concernened about quality control

especially when it come to parts for these old trucks - we try to make somethin nice
but ''newer' parts wont let us

Some came from Eastwood some from Harbor Frieght. Quality is about the same, big difference is the price.

Im gonna try to salvage it, with the body being so low, I gotta cut the floor for a trans tunnel, and with the floor being so rusted Im gonna just cut the floor out from the tow boards back to the rear of the cab and do a custom floor. Im pretty confident I can fix the cab, sure beats spending 400 on a better one when I can fix this one with 150. Im about to move it to my shop so I can work on it more.

That sounds like a winner!

Spent the day yesterday replacing struts and strut mounts on the little lady's car, that freed me up to spend the rest of the weekend on my truck. RULE #1 If she ain't happy, you ain't happy.

Finished engine and tranny mounts today. The engine is now completely installed, hopefully for the last time! Tomorrow I plan to fill the hole in my floor that was cut out to compensate for the bell housing's new location.

worked on running wires from door; thru cab via new wire looms - running wires for the power windows and solinoids for shaved door handles bit of a p i a but not too bad ,
all ran and all done

On this memorial day we remember our brothers and sisters that gave there lives past and present .................Thank you !- you are not forgotten !!!!!!!

I installed a new set of front park lamp assemblies, and all new firewall grommets last night. Tonight I'll be finishing up some touch up painting in the cab so the new headliner can be installed. I took 2 weeks off from working on the truck to get some things done around the yard and do some repairs to my faithful daily driver so now it's time to giver on the truck again

Wow, beautiful young couple. If she's half as beautiful a person on the inside as she is on the outside, they'll be very happy. Best Wishes, Dan.
