Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
Had a friend help me remove my hood so I can take the hinges off and send them to Willie for a refurbish.

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
Took apart and cleaned up some of my A/C system. Long ago, I duct taped the ends of each line and stored them away. That was a mistake..... If you want to keep your lines clean during storage, 1/2" and 3/4" drip hose works perfect, and I happened to have both. You can cap/cover the hose........No corrosion or mess. I bolted a piece of laminate and "plate" to the back of the compressor so the holes remain clean. I need some plugs of some kind to restore it. Despite my younger self, I found the label on the compressor is near mint.
This is after I just removed them from the box. Pretty sure it's complete. I haven't seen these since 1993. Looking forward to getting these right. I've read where the dehydrator can be restored, and if anyone does this, I'm all ears. The condenser is pretty bent up and wasn't stored quite right anyway, so I'll need a new one. Generally prefer OEM, but seems an OER is the best option.
