Re: What did you do to your truck today part III
Blew a freeze plug. lol And ended up pulling the dang motor because it needed new front and real main seals and new gaskets anyhow. SO I have a new gasket set coming and will take the engine apart and clean all the sludge out and reseal and repaint. Oh, Here is a picture of the clutch and pressure plate. They look fine right?

Re: What did you do to your truck today part III
Started varnishing my bed wood on Saturday. It started to bubble a little at the surface. Thinking it is because of heat. Will nock it down with some steel wool and give it another coat.

Re: What did you do to your truck today part III
I finally finished up the wood door to cover the air bag setup and topped it off with a bottle cap opener to use as a handle in opening the door.. it also doubles as the perfect tailgating accessory!

Re: What did you do to your truck today part III
