I installed a fire extinguisher today. It was the last part of my getting the truck ready for the summer. Below is a picture of my fusible link. While removing old brake lines one shorted to 12V.....and I got out from under to see my link glowing red hot. It did its job for sure. In the future I will be disconnecting the battery when working under the hood. Bottom picture is the rear end work I also finished today by torquing all the new spring hardware.

Let's see how long it takes to put humpty dumpty back together again.

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
 

On the downhill slide with the front end rebuild. All that is left now is bolting everything back together!!

Picked up the front control arms from the powder coater. So much easier than wiring wheeling, priming and painting!

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
 

Looks like your powder coater was nice enough not to do the ball joint surface in the lower. Did he coat the threads for the cross shafts? Mine did, sucks getting it out.

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
 

Painted the Tranny & finished my last coat of POR15 on the frame. Next i paint the bell housing and motor. New bodymounts should be here any minute.

He plugged the threaded end and the ball joints. Guy is top notch. He's done some commercial work for me as well. Always great quality. If you are in the KC area, HMC Performance Coating in Tonganoxie, KS.

I'm beginning to wonder if your doctor knows what you have been up to? By the way do you want a border for the BBQ season. A few more pounds won't hurt me at this stage???? Keep building or keep cooking??? your choice eh! Have a good one.

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
 

Some friends and I were out hiking around the countryside in about 1962, and I spotted a plant with giant purple stalks that looked like celery. I broke off a stalk and took it home. My mom said it was wild rhubarb, and sent me back for more. I brought back enough for a bunch of pies. I love rhubarb pie, I think it's better than strawberry!

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
 

I parked my truck in my garage for the rest of the week as I do my 4 in a row 12 hour 19:00-07:00 Night shifts..

Drug her to the State Patrol office in Pueblo CO. for a certified VIN inspection. 14 months later I'll finally get a title for her.

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
 

Mmm..... Rhubarb pie ! .

It's far better than strawberry but most make it wrong, adding way too much sugar .

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
 

Well all be! Metaldoc turned this forum into a cooking forum. How did he do it??? Have a good one.

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
 

I haven't had rhubarb pie in years.....I have made it a goal for next week.
