Morning everyone. I hope you have a great day.

Minion had her first Honor Choir concert last night and she was wonderful.

I finally got a shifter boot for the truck and installed it. Wow what a difference that makes. Now that it is a bit quieter in the cab I have to be careful not to push it too hard. I don't want to blow it up before I get the other motor built.

I also received the proper filler neck grommet for the hole in the cab. I found a NOS one on ebay for $10 after shipping. I will be putting that on sometime today, and removing what ever it was that someone rigged on it with plastic, a screw, and silicone.

I have to wait on my window/door seal kits and floor mat since I over spent on the wife and minion for xmas. That and I am now needing machine shop $$.

It is funny to see how such little things make it feel like so much has been accomplished. The shifter boot alone made it feel like driving a different truck. It is much quieter and a lot less drafty.
The fuel neck thing on there now has always bugged me, so I am glad I found the proper part. I had just planed on welding it up when I got to the body work.

Yeah, just as nice getting some of the little, annoying stuff out of the way, as it is the big stuff!

Yeah, it's been tough finding any time lately, with it either being too cold, or just being too busy, running kids around to various sports/ activites. I'm hoping tomorrow, should be in the 50's here. I want to try and get the dash mocked up. Then I need to find a seat.

All this talk about project trucks makes me miss the Bronco. I loved fixing that up a little at a time. By the time I sold it, it was 10 times better than when I got it.

Woohoo, its Saturday! Any plans for the day?

Greg-Its sounds like the truck is coming along great! Im so glad that it went to someone that wants to fix it up & drive it! Jimmy barely fixed it up from when he had it or drove it.

Have a Super Saturday!

Morning everyone. I hope you all have a wonderful weekend.

Donna, I love the truck and drive it almost everyday. I wish I had the type of money to do things faster. It will get done eventually, as the budget allows. Once the engine rebuild is complete, I will be able to focus one the cosmetic aspects. I still try to grab things when I find them a really good price if I have the $$.

Hi guys

Well, it's Sunday & the end of the weekend is here. Now what? I'm bored.

Maybe I'll go to church or maybe I'll go Christmas shopping instead. It's so cold out lately that I just want to curl up in a blanket next to the fire & watch TV. Hmm...which one should i do?

Have a blessed day!
