Aug 18th weekend

Didn't get to work on the truck at all this weekend. I was going to put in my wiper motor but it didn't show up until today, so I'll do that next weekend. I really didn't have the time or patience to fab something up, I just want to bolt and go for now. In the future I'll def try and get creative, but right now my weekends are too important so I just sucked it up and bought this from classic parts.com. However I'm sure I could have ordered this direct now that I know what brand makes it. good news is, it is USA made. I paid the extra $40 cause I'd rather support that.

Finally finished up my 20x8 ft patio extension. Took me atleast 4 weekends to complete. Did it all by hand. Now that that is over I'll be building a carport over it and also hoping to get another car port build and my metal garage up before winter, so I can comfortably work on the new project 52' truck.
