I did that for years, the last dozen were the worst while I was long hauling. Then Pepsi came out with their Throwbacks (real sugar, not corn syrup) and I got a little more active (not a lot) and I started eating at home again (I came off the road). In the last 18 months I've dropped 50 lbs. I actually look human again.

Bingo, came out of a 1996 down at Austin Wrench-A-Part for $10.

I found one in my home town, actually several. If you need any interior parts lemme know, I found like 4 or 5 perfect interior trucks. Everything is blue but I am going to try that plastibond interior paint out.

Only thing the interior really needs besides seats is a fuse box cover.

Lucky dog, mine needs everything but a seat. Well the seat needs a different color.

How did we both end up in GMT-400 trucks? Its almost turning into a build off, both trucks are kinda clapped out.

Thanks Jason. I just need to work out a few bugs here and there. Running rich as hell right now but the thermostat is stuck open for some reason which is the cause, I am sure.

Man, I tell you what. I've more problems with Fail Safe Tstats hanging open in the last 3 years than I care to talk about. I've different brands, even Stant, and they hang open to easy. I usually don't figure it out until about Fall when I need my heater to work. I end up just bending the hold open tabs out of the way so it can't hang open and reinstalling it, but then it's not a fail safe T stat anymore.
