And maybe find a dummy cluster that just has an oil light, take the "oil" light lens/cover/film/whatever its called and put it in place of the seatbelt light.

 

Washed and cleaned up the ol' girl.

 

That's a neat picture!

 

Not today but was this wknd, got the CV pretty much where I want it I think, making some spacers to make sure my side-side is even and then to start drilling n get this puppy mounted.then work on those damn rivets so I can replace a few body/shock mounts.

 

Finally welded in a floor panel patch in ol red, and then decided to cut out another piece of swiss cheese. Dang now I am out of welding wire...

 

Transfer case gear shift bushings




Installed gear shift bushings for my transfer case. No more sloppy shifter.

 

mounted the new roof lights

 

Well in the past couple days I've replaced my cab corners and my drivers side floor pan

finished replacing the entire middle section of my bed floor...

 

Bolted in the CV cm, now to put the front together and do more alignment checks.

 

Ordered new rear lift springs, muffler, exhaust tips, header high temp paint, engine gasket kit, porting and polishing kit, and a bunch of small stuff. And now i wait patiently on the front porch for delivery.

 

While I had the bed off being repaired I stripped the frame and painted it.

 

Installed rear sliding window and converted ignition to duraspark/HEI hybrid with TFI coil.

 

My favorite ignition!

I cleaned up my new cab a bit, it looks like I'm going to have to stuff it inside the garage for winter and completely strip it.

 

Put my factory 1/2 ton springs back in, but only after I put a wheel/tire combo from my 85 onto the front. Figured out my crappy idle problem (loose distributer bolt) and finally installed the 78 3/4 ton 2 piston calipers I've had in my garage for the last few months. Drove it around the block a few times to enjoy being able to stop very very well.

Now I need to finish installing my steering column and I can safely enjoy driving it around...
