Tonight I was able to put my dash back together from my dash gauge project. My camera didn't do me any justice on the lights. They are brighter than what they appear.





Not a good pics, but just to show what all blue lights kinda look like.

I've got a set of eagle bolt mags, but, send me a PM with a pic of them and I'll see what we can work out, i would like an extra set of nice looking rims for winter only.

I'm still hung up on my new steering wheel so thought I would show it off.

That steering looks great. I'm thinking I need one.
I managed to fire my truck up today and back it out of the garage to turn it around so i can work on the passenger side installing some bigger mudflaps (i hate rock chips on new paint) and drill holes in the cowl for my XLT emblem. I also just stood there looking at my truck wondering what else i should do.

Today I removed the clutch and flywheel. I found out that the clutch that was in it was put in less than a year ago but I already have the new clutch so I am putting it in anyway. Tomorrow I am going to have the flywheel turned and a new ring gear put on. I am also putting a new gear on the starter so it will start on its own not with a chain and another truck. Anyone need a slightly used clutch? Where can I get new bearings for my 4 speed manual and how much are they? I don't know that mine are bad but I found 3 bearing pieces in the tranny. I cant find where they came from. Maybe they came from a bearing that has been replaced? Also would it be a good or bad idea to have my trans dipped in a hot tank? I am just worried about it messing it up. The trans is as dirty as can be and I would love to paint it.
