Re: 72 getting rid of the 90's mistake.

Added some new bling to the interior.
ACC C10 floor mats, these don't curl every time I get in like the old ones I had.
Brothers radio bezel, just something I was eyeing for a while and decided to add one.
'72 specific door support screws, never had any since I bought it and my OCD got the better of me. Almost every '72 door I see is missing these screws and I was done being one of those guys.
Cupholdersplus bench seat armrest/cup holder, I bought this short style so I could still bring my automatic shift lever down to 1st gear if I needed. So much more comfortable having something to lean on while riding around.
My sniper tune is pretty good so I don't need to keep moving the monitor around so I finally mounted it under the dash, here I can see it easily and if I don't want to it folds back up into the bottom of the dash. Mostly all I look it now is if its learning and if the fans are off or on.
I replaced the old gray AC/heat vent balls with Chrome and black vents, still not planning to do AC until closer to spring.

And lastly my rear pinion seal is leaking, could have just replaced the seal but since I light up one tire anytime I'm making a turn from a stop I decided to install a posi.
Going with the Eaton Detroit Truetrac, new 3.73 yukon gears and while its apart swapping in ne axle bearings and seals as well as the diff rebuild kit.
Already put 500 miles on the new engine so I changed the oil and filter yesterday, submitted my data logs to my tuner so you can make adjustments to my tunes.
Realized that my butterfly's were not opening 100% and the throttle cable the last owner had installed was about 2' too long, so I replaced with the correct length cable and no I get 100% throttle.
Summer heat is almost here so I'm trying to hurry and get the truck finished so I'm not trying to install or replace parts over the summer.

Sometime over the summer I'm going to order an all chrome glove box door and figure out a way to make the center black to match the gauge bezel, the all black just seems too plain.
