scraping and cleaning and sanding the susupension/chassis it is caked with dirt and all. This truck has been sitting somewhere in the desert field since late 80's or early 90's. I painted it with some cheap flat black but was kinda half butt so I am scraping it all off and starting over today.

Well since the Trucks in for Interior Paint, I bought a new Steering Wheel to match the Leather seats. Then I bought a Billet "Dress-up Kit" for the Steering Column, along with a Billet Gear Selector. I'm going to buy some "bare" Interior Door Panels, and take them, the Visors and Dash pad,
all into the uhpolsters and have them cover all 3 items, to match the wheel.
Then I bought some 360 Degrees Green LED lights for my Silver Faced Autometer Gauges. Also going to pick-up some aftermarket Kick Panels/Speakers too.

*project 67 sub* · 01-20-2011, 03:32 AM

redid the rear brake lines and the one that goes down the frame rail from front to back and also made it longer. also pulled the front wheel wells to see how much cutting on the fenders im gonna need to do. no pics of the rear brake line yet, but here is the front inner fender pic of where its gonna need cut. and dont mind my indy car slick

Well guys, I did the same thing today that I've done everyday for almost a year now. I got up this morning, Started the ol Pickup, finished getting ready for work, hopped in the cab and away we go! We had some fresh snow this morning, love beating my little truck through the snow!

Not from this morning, but this was at Duck Camp in October. The truck got trashed during this trip, and I loved every minute of it!

glider_6969 · 01-20-2011, 04:38 PM

Cleaned up the a power steering gear box and the pump.. going to paint them once I know I have all my brackets and alse started measuring everything up to see what is missing. That rag joint doesn't look like it's going to be fun to take off. probably going to pull part of the steering shaft from the firewall too.

I did and he kind of argued with me. They are taking it back but I have to pay for shipping. I will just never use or recommend them.

Try talking to Mario over there at CPP. He is a great guy and has personally solved several of my issues. He will do whatever it takes to satisfy you as a customer.

Bought the shock relocation kit, 4" rear drop springs and a new double adjustable panhard bar. Looking forward to getting the rear end done so I can get her aligned. Just got the front end done last weekend with new tie rod ends and upper and lower ball joints. Anyone have a good write up on centering the rearend?

ksucatz · 01-21-2011, 08:04 PM

After a long time of just driving, I had some issues to fix. Heater motor was shorting. Needed a new ground. Topped off the tranny and engine oil. Fixed the fuel and temp gauge.....at least I thought I did. Temp still will not register. Tightened the headers.....again. That is about a weekly procedure. Just need to spring for the locking bolts. Installed a new dimmer switch.
