Ok, a short timeline-
Friday- Ran and got the trans, got the truck drug up from Neighbor Donnie's,got some more stuff sorted and off the firewall.
Saturday- Pulled the hitch and gas tank, looks like my evil fuel pump plan just may work, keep your fingers crossed. Also pulled all fuel lines, and motor mount towers. Then got started on replacing brake lines off the dist block to replace the mess that's been bugging me for 15 years.
Sunday- After six (count 'em!) trips to the parts house, I got the right stuff and actually did a decent job bending the lines, which I usually SUCK at. Got them installed, then got the frame repaired where it looked like it'd been gnawed by angry beavers, then painted till I ran out of paint. Also took the time to readjust the pass door, the fit of which has sucked since the first time we assembled it. Still not perfect, but vastly better now.
Tiiiiime for the pics!
Super hi tech drain method- note double funnel catch system.
Inherited mess-note loop
Much better now- did it all with pre-flared tube. Not bad, considering
Went so well, I replaced the driver's side too
New door fit-the top front corner was juuuuust hitting. Much mo betta now.
Thanks guys!
