Just a little quickie update

So, my internet's been sparatic at best, so i've spent more time on the truck. I got the heater working, A/C needs freon so vent works for me, only have low fan speed, got the outer fender lights converted, started putting the tailgate lights back on it (hopefully the center 3 only are legal since the outers are missing their wires and are so close to the main tails).

I need to double check on my choke, pull a few plugs and see where my A/F ratio has landed, pressure wash/chisel the 50 pounds of mud and tar from the underside of it, Find a cable spacer or something to put on my throttle cable to get my gas pedal off the floor (stretched cable), and maybe check my rear brakes.

Also need to get it inspected, see if the oil needs to be changed (been 9 months but only 1500 miles if that), check the transmission fluid (about 8 years but not many miles), and see the status of my axle fluid (a few years).

I've organized a list of body panels that my truck is needing that amounts to 500 bucks, not including hood or complete doors. Inner and outer driver's front rockers, both front outer fenders, A cab corner or 2, a dead pedal floorpan chunk, and i think i'm forgetting something.
