Lol, I need to come up with some cash. Then the red turd can be shipped here. And while you're at it, you can stuff a 70's clip in the back. Or two of them. Heck, may as well strap a short bed frame to the roof too :rofl:
LOL, don't know about a clip but I can take care of a frame for ya, lol. :D

That's right
I stopped by today to drop off new window channel. They had to stop on it for a couple days while the school gets the roof above the shop fixed.

Ok I mentioned to a new member about going the same route but I couldn't remember who it was but I remembered they were doing an awsome job.

Only real downside is that it's taking longer than expected, but I don't need it.

Well if he would take his truck to a regular shop for cab corners floors and rockers he would forget he owned it. That was my point to him.

Hi all, I did a few things this fall. Noticed the engine temperature was running a little warmer than normal this summer so I ordered a Champion aluminium 3 core radiator. Had to get a few different rubber radiator supports and modify but overall it was fairly simple. Replaced all rubber hoses, belts and transmission lines as well. In the spring I picked up and old chrome pushbar at the Canfield swap meet and figured now was the time to address the front end. So I sandblasted and painted the pushbar Sublime. Also ordered and replaced the grille trim, headlight bezels and turn signals with chrome 1157 bulbs to get rid of the amber and added 10000 lb tow hooks. Keeping with the "old school" look I purchased KC Daylighter LED driving lights for the pushbar, pained the housings Sublime as well. They are amazingly bright considering they are single LED. I will replace the KC Daylighter halogen roll bar lights when I find the money! Wiring was very easy since they are low watts/amps and do not use relays. Hate hiding relays. Ran out of custom switch spaces so I fabricated another switch plate and ordered more OTRATTW switches. Now have 2 extra spaces for future use. Here are a few picts......

Its a steel garage that had a gravel floor. It was getting a lot of moisture from the ground. I did not want a concrete floor and decided on a treated wood floor. Not the perfect set up but its working. I never thought of a Steel plated floor, LOL

He put down 2 layers of treated 3/4” plywood on top of I wanna say a bed of railroad ties then screwed the plate down and stitched it together. It started out as a carport that he raised and put sides on.

got a new battery for the '77. The old one was 5 years old but probably only had about 2k miles on it. It's surprising to me that even, though, it had some age the battery was essentially brand new.

How big a deal is it to rebuild your steering gear box?mines leaking at the input shaft I know seal kits are cheaper than a rebuilt
Gear but I’m looking for the best way to fix it with the longest durability. It’s a 81 Scotty k10 nice truck just don’t wanna turn smooth
With that problem plus it’s got a squeak to it to
So give me some thoughts fellers
