Thanx Guyz!!!
Another few items either finished or nearing completion...
This weekend found me focusing on Brakes... It's good to be able to stop...
I started off by getting the Front brakes finished up first, earlier in the week I turned the rotors and then after re-installing them I modified (Bent) the hoses. They had a 90 degree bend which had them pointing directly into the Upper Ball joint thanks to the 2 1/2" Drop Spindles...
Some Vise grips and an arm work out have them now mounted and bolted in place...

Yesterday, after getting the second caliper bolted in place, a typical afternoon thunderstorm kicked up stopping the rear brake work... The rears had to be done with the truck in the Sunshine...
Today my focus was getting the rear brakes complete and ready to bleed the system...
Here's the second rebuilt Drum set up just before re-installing Drum and Tire...

JoJo and I spotted a hawk with a fresh kill along the road...

A while back, a year or more, MarkeB01 offered some parts for the asking...
He listed the items up for grabs and after all was said and done he hooked me up with a few items, including a fuel pressure regulator gauge as well as an isolator... Here's the gauge in it's temporary home under the dash...
