Evening to you too Ben..
Another warm one today! Glad we got a breeze though! Well, off to do some hoof trimming and see if I can get into the shop before long! Most of the way done with getting that old gaser out for the stroke! Yay!

hi all, I can't believe I didn't even post this morning! it was up at daylight and in the shop working on the service truck!
it is just about done. so far I have changed the transmission, new radiator, new ac condenser, removed bed and put my service bed on (all the holes lined up! I was in total shock taking a bed off an '89 and putting it on a '99 that it even fit) had to buy new hose for fuel fill $90.00, took the hitch off of old truck and put on new truck, left rear brake caliper, still need both front calipers, totally re wired lights and trailer plugs. evacuated and charged ac, removed rigged k&n filter made a 6637 setup, got most of the stuff for 4" exhaust just need 60 " of strait pipe. ( this thing had a 4" down pipe reduced to 3" for the cat, out of the cat 3" than a muffler delete was 2 1/2" than back to 3" for the tail pipe?)
