picked up a 350 to replace the inline 6 with, got the 350 cleaned up but still have a long ways to go

gave up on fixing the leaks of my outside wall of the workshop...Stripped all the caulk out and installed a drip edge under the water channel.....Bent it up on the inside so now it drips will spew out the front

Bought a bed liner for the truck, attempted to sort some wiring out before sinking more beer to drown the brain cells in............

Started my diesel, first time since June. let it run for half an hour to charge the batteries. Amusing part was when it blew the mouse nest out of the RH exhaust pipe - shredded hood insulator soaked in diesel fumes all ove the place. Put it in the barn, hopefully I'll get the rearend redone over winter.

replaced cigarette lighter assembly in 76...not much of a task but well worth it.

SSC's76 · 10-01-2012, 08:59 AM

my white shifter knob broke friday heck its only 40 years old at least so had to rob the one from my wifes car and adapt it to fit mine. wife don't know but dident have a choice since she missed so much work the last few weeks. other then that not much except get my gas ration for the next 2 weeks. gotta say sure is nice to have a truck that isn't leaking oil again.

Installed a all spring 2.5" Rancho lift kit I got at the wrecking yard a few weeks ago for $100 including all shocks, U-bolts, and a set of over-load springs. Also started doing body work in preparation for paint
