sleeper

I acquired an old pick up sleeper a few months back and have been picking at it for a while. The plan is to have a place for the dogs to ride and not loose bed space, plus I have always liked kidnappers.

This one was intended to fit a late model Chevy but i will be able to make it work. I will need to add spacers underneath to align the rooflines and rework the window opening at the cab. I thought about cutting the front loose and reglassing it to match the cab angle but i just need it out of the garage right now. A 2x4 brings it up to the correct height so I'll make a frame for it to sit on and help with the anchoring to the bed too.

And the supervisor had to check to see what I was doing to her truck.

I installed a new steering wheel wrap. Cracks kept catching on my wedding ring plus they were just annoying. I also fixed the horn button itself. It was pulling away at both ends.

Cleaned out the tow tray:



Found a lot of useful gear in there, too, including the headlight surrounds and the radiator shroud. Plus a stack of old tools... gotta love old tools!

Replaced the drive shaft carrier bearing, no more rattling, woohoo!!! Also found a new way to pull the carrier bearing since I have broken quite a few 3 jaw pullers getting them off. Use a OTC heavy duty pitman arm puller, works awesome.
