Alternator?
The no idle condition was a bad MAF sensor, misfiring was from bad ignition coil and spark plug wires. I believe it’s road worthy again after also replaced the power steering pump and replaced the o-rings in the two aluminum elbows. Still have a minor oil and tranny pan gasket leak to resolve...- mxer147

305 SBC vs 6.2 Detroit: Which would you rather?
6.2, diesel’s are awesome, way more to work with to improve it. However, I wouldn’t waste my time driving it during the winter season especially the very cold days. Working at the dealership in the 80s, we would tow the diesel into the shop rather than trying to get them started out in the cold...- mxer147

@Redfish - that’s a pretty sweet diamond plate setup in your long box, like it! -
What have you done to your square lately??
The Doors! It will be a twenty footer and maybe a ten footer after a wet sand and buff. Spraying plenty of paint to flatten it out later. One knatt had to be extracted, paint didn’t lay down very well today for some reason? -
What have you done to your square lately??
Squirted some more orange peel, not a single bug to pick off the orange peel, NICE! This nice weather is perfect for making progress. Probably shoot the other side of “the doors” tomorrow. -

What have you done to your square lately??
Bed pushed back to allow me to sand, paint and upgrade fuel system. Hopefully, I will get a warm day after tomorrow since it’s supposed to get cold and I won’t have time tomorrow to get r done. Since I’m working solo, I removed the bumper. It wasn’t too bad pushing it backwards. -

What new tools have you got lately?
Bought a power steering pulley puller. Also bought new abrasive and wire wheel for the bench grinder, they were toast. -
What have you done to your square lately??
After work, I Removed the two bolts I couldn’t get yesterday. The high speed grinder took care of what the drill couldn’t. The square holes are round which explains why they rotated when hit with the impact. I will need to purchase some square washers to weld to the bed. Can one buy those or... -
What have you done to your square lately??
Removed 6 of the 8 bed bolt nuts; four were easy with the impact gun, 2 not bad with a 1/2” ratchet. The last two will need to be drilled tomorrow since it got dark and cold. I tried welding angle iron but couldn’t penetrate the bolt for some reason. Maybe tomorrow after work I can get it done... -
What have you done to your square lately??
Thank you! Agree, cab interior was a challenge. I guessed a day or two of prep work. It took a couple of weeks in my spare time from beginning to end for disassemble, sanding, taping, priming and painting. In a few areas I probably will wet sand and buff to finish it off. Ton of work and I’m... -

Sprayed some more orange peel. -
What have you done to your square lately??
Squirted the top, interior tomorrow with orange. Amazingly only one bug found the sticky paint. Some orange peel but what can you expect painting outdoors at 55F. -

Rotor discoloration, pulsing
It turned out to be a warped rear rotor, the metal tab which keeps the pads off the rotor was worn off, unsure why it wore off but bottom line it’s repaired. Replaced the axle bearing, seal and changed the front differential fluid. Next, change the rear differential fluid….always something...- mxer147
