Got a new radio for the truck for Christmas today! It's a Pioneer and does not have a CD/DVD player in it. It is only half the length and will require me to get an extension for the antennae cable.

Other than that, the factory speakers still work and I plan on replacing those suckers with better ones and maybe a small subwoofer, too.

Talking about @foamypirate's engine swap. That's happening quicker than I'd assumed it would. Very exciting :)

Got the 350 pulled today. By myself. On an inclined driveway. It was fun, to say the least! :Insane:

Done or attempted several things lately. Last week attempted to install lowering parts, got sent the wrong spindles, new spindles should arrive in a few days, and attempt #2 should take place next week.

I'm also getting ready to order some new dumbo mirrors to put in place of those tripod mirrors that's on the burb currently. Will probably install them in a couple months when it warms up.

Also, starting to put together my list of what I'll need to redo my engine cooling components. May even switch to e-fans while I'm at it but haven't quite decided just yet.

Been tinkering with the stepside truck, mostly carb tuning. Only problem is nowhere around here seems to stock pump nozzles for a Holley carb. Growing up in central Ohio has spoiled me, Jeg's was never far away.

I bought a set of 36-12.50 Swamper TSL's mounted on polished aluminum slots. They are bias ply but are almost new. They still have the excess rubber flashing between lugs. I have been polishing the wheels.
