Polished this steering wheel to good enough. I'll install a cover over it. This Ebay guy had a bunch of these, all had their dust shields busted off. Apparently they came from a shop that modified these trucks back in the day; I figure they just pried them off. Anyway, seems the last one he sold was this, only this one had a dust shield. Turns out its old cover was busted off as well but replaced.
Yesterday was a good day. Arranged for someone to install the front and rear glass, they plan to do that in 2-3 weeks. Thought I had that one figured out well over a year ago. First guy ended up in prison, 2nd all talk over an 18 month period. This new place is real professional and tight. Hopefully that translates to a great job.
Then I called the exhaust guy, he's paying me a visit tomorrow. Then a message from Roger Koop, my vent windows are ready. Snap, I have 1K+ in vent window parts and not even using them. Reference all talk window guy. I just wanted to get this done, even if it meant two sets of vent windows and spares.
Air cleaner is on its 3rd paint job
The guy missed a spot, twice. That's been out since Feb. 2021, but "any day now"
He's an old buddy.
Other than that, a bench seat and vapor can hoses this is ready to run.
