At this moment, doing the coil spring and shock on drivers side, and will try to get the bushings replaced on radius arm while I'm at it. But for me to feel ok really driving it, I want to get all the suspension bushings I have installed, finish installation of my new hard fuel line to get my new tank working again, carb needs tuned!!!, floor pans welded in, and the new tires. If I knew what I was doing and had a decent shop, I'd think I could do all that by myself in a weekend.

. So everything is outside, flat back on the driveway.Let's see if we can get some other members to show up this weekend and knock out some work, if we're not rained out. It shouldn't be a big deal to get your new spring, shock, and radius arm bushing in.
And then see about getting your fuel tank plummed and going.
As far as floor pans, fuel lines, carb built/tuned in a weekend would be hard to do. Floor pans alone is a good size job.

I wish I had a shop too. This is the first time in over 20 years that we haven't had a garage. So everything is outside, flat back on the driveway.

I'll make a plea on the works thread

Got the approval for the time off for that Friday! Looking forward to this.
Matt, Good luck with the truck this weekend. Sorry I can't make it. My weekend started falling apart this morning. I'm hoping I can salvage some of the items I wanted to complete though.
Ya'll have fun!

I still need to get my tent out and set up so I can make sure there aren't any issues with it so it'll be ready in case Shari does make it out with us.

That would be pretty epic if you did. That's a good haul for sure. If you did I got you covered with food and camping fees. You'd be in charge of your beverages. We can work out the details over text or phone. I'd get a list and hit the store for us. I'll send you a message. Cool that you're even pondering it.
