Got good bit done today!

hey guys today i got my heater assembaly working properly (it didn't work at all before) Also put a ned grill shell on my truck (old one was bent all to heck and someone put silver spraypaint on it that was faded and was very very ugly looking. It made the truck look 10times better now with a strait front end on it!

oh it was it made my night once I got the front end back together and saw how much better the old girl looked! Oh yeah I also took the old front black bumper off that was bent up and isntalled my other one that was strait and painted black. I also noticed that my dashlights quit working on me since i have done all of this to my truck (the dimmerswitch inthe ligth switch was slowly going bad and well i think it finally went out on me) I gues a new light switch is in order for the truck now. Also i still need to put the frotn driveshaft on the truck and also get it inspected and emmissions done to it. Also once i get the holley 600cfm carb i have to swap out the intake and carburator on it.
I cant wait untill I get the intake and carb switched and get the rest of the bugs worked out of the truck! Earlyer this week I installed a CD player in the truck and also put 2 speakers in the front doors so I have something to listen to. I am puttign a amp and subs behind the seat soon. I also would like to upgrade my CD player in the future tho because it dont have any memmory it has a digital readout but you have to manualy tune it into what station you would like to hear.
thanks guys for all of your help helping me out with this truck I really apriciate it!

Well today dad and I desided to tackle the passengerside cab corner. it was hit there well ok ill tell you the whole story the truck was my buddy's the cab was shot. my co worker had a truck he was puting the cab on and it fell as he was puting it on his truck and hit the toetruck that he was puting it on and goudged/dented the passengerside cab corner clear up to the bodyline (yeah almost up to where the window line is.) So the cab corner was pushed in 2inches whole way up. Dad got one of the body tools we drilled holes int he gouge and started pulling it out and pulled it out and put some filler ontop of it and ruffed it in. (i am just going to spray black primer and flatblack spraypaint on the spot for now because rest fo the truck is flat black). I also today installed a sound system in the truck so i can listen to my country music in style! I pulled the front driveshaft off and was goign to put a bronko driveshaft on but the yokes on the bronko's are smaller then the truck. Also I installed a new headlight switch in the truck because the old dimmer fianly quit working lastnight and i had no dash lights. Its nice to have dashlights once again!
