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

Got my truck back with new shocks and power steering. Also removed aftermarket load booster springs. It's like a new truck!

Now for some sway bars.

Cool power steering is great when you didnt have it to begin with !We take it for granted .

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

Finally back at it! I decided to convert my bed to a wood floor rather than ordering patches for the steel one I have. She was a great daily driver but it's time for her to shine! I ordered all the new cross sills, back panel, wheel housings, and wood kit form Brothers was just gonna keep the bedsides. The passenger side is straight as an arrow on the out side and some surface rust on the inside. The Drivers side needed to be blocked but is in great shape. After cleaning up an area I knew looked suspect i found some pin wholes on the lower left corner. I have now decided to just order new bedsides and have a complete new box.

The box floor has a few small holes that I was gonna just patch but I'm now gonna sell the box complete with tailgate and roll pan with exhaust cut outs. I will be posting on the parts for sale page shortly. Cant wait to finish her up!

Installed the new headers....the only headers that would fit. Like they say - third times a charm. angled plug center bolt heads, standard transmission and original starter are hard to maneuver around.

Yes sir. Backing this longbed out of my driveway into the narrow alley was a 3 minute affair without it.
