The bed isn't on yet. I pulled the trans today and got the clutch disk cleaned up. It cleaned up real well and looks like it's in good shape. I'll put the trans that was in the truck when I bought it back in it and run it until I can fix this one. I should get the trans in tomorrow evening and then I can work on the bed the rest of the week.

Had a good time today Bill hope you made it home safe.
Dangit! I told you not to be taking pictures with my truck beside of yours! And DEFINITELY not posting them on the forum! LOL!!! My truck looks WAY better on my property out in the woods than it does next to yours! It was great to hang out with you guys!

But Bill's bad truck luck must have rubbed off on my truck on the way home. Hehe... I've got an electrical burning/melting smell from under the hood. Whatever it is seems to be dragging the volt meter down...Gotta find that now.
