November Truck Work

Thought I would start up this topic again cause I have so much to do.

On the 75 I got all the lights working, replaced an exhaust doughnut, put on the front bumper.

Well, its kinda funny, but the lights I was going to put on my truck durring the last truck work thread, are still on hold:S

Other then repainting my sled deck, I have no plans for truck work. I am saving up my money for a new sled, and I might be building next summer.

I need a raise!

Adjusted the wiper arm on the drivers side so that it doesn't wack the window trim on high speed. Attempted to remove the drivers taillight to replace the brake light bulb, screws were seized, soaked them in Deep Creep and will try again tomorrow with more authority.

On the list for the month is new stronger leaf springs (thinking f250) and 1 ton front coils. Picked up a load of firewood on Monday and was blinding passing aircraft with my headlights.

Just bought a nitrous kit for my truck which I have to install. Im also putting a brand new tailgate on it and planning for my next purchases for it. Id like to get dual exhaust, rear airbags, and a 6 inch lift, coming up this spring hopefully.

I would help you if I could Andy, but I spent close to $400 on a tranny flush last month and don't have anything left in my truck fund

Was in Penticton yesterday and since I need a new headlight switch I stopped at the dealer before going to the wreckers. They want $196.xx for one. The wreckers wanted only $50.00 but of course had none.

Got the fuel pump changed last night though.

Need the switch for the 03. Have a new switch for the 75. It just needs new headlights.
