HO cams port and polish the heads and jba headers. Finally finished

 

got primer in prep for the new paint job(which i'm finally getting to) and took out the see to fix the cab till my friend showed up yesterday. today i'm fixing the cab, the idle valve(forgot the name), putting gas in it and driving the hell out of it...its been way to long since i drove her.

 

Installed a anti-sway bar. Had to tap the holes in the frame. Painted the parts yesterday. Greased the front bearings, cleaned up road grime/ bitumen slag. Ordered shocks, bushings, and dropped off the UCA's to remove the ball joints. Scraping the slag has been the most time consuming.

 

i fixed my cab mounts and installed the buckets seats from my none running car. cost me $.50 for the bolts to secure the cab...cheapest fix so far. lol

and i did it drunk too...took me 4hours to move the cab over myself with 1 jack and a crowbar...but i got it to within an 1/8 of an inch...im so proud of myself....lol...sorry didnt mean to steal anyone's thunder....

 

Good stuff man! Glad to hear you can be driving the truck again!

 

yeah i was so happy when i got everything fixed. i put new grade 8 bolts on the rear mounts(the fronts were still good just loose).

then i finstalled bucket seats.


yes that is a white door/black cab/ and red box...lol

everyone kept asking me how i fit trans am seats in my truck.

simple truth is i put the seats from my accent in the truck.

i was so excited when i took the truck out i floored it out of the driveway and left a huge cloud of smoke in front of the 17yr old (who keeps syphoning gas out of my cars). he then chased me down and cut in front of me...turns out my little v6 cant out run the 5.2l v8 dakota he has...lol i still have yet to find a sucker...er...um... guinea pig to test the passenger seat mounts...

also got my sub installed...

close enough?

 

Can we say locking gas caps! LOL. Good job by the way.
Just next time don't do it drunk.

 

he keeps syphoning gas out of my truck gives me a reason to keep pulling bolts out of his in the middle of the night...lol
i still dont think he realizes it even though we pass each other on the street(literally).

 

went to the hardware store to get some bolts to replace the screws that hold the ignition coil in place. i bought a replacement coil 2 weeks ago and couldn't get the old one off because the screws were like butter (heads stripped right out). finally got it off yesterday and dont want to go through that again, so its got bolts on it now

 

Switched over the TB gasket on my 92 the other day and a new radiator cap. I love those cheap fixes. When I get back home from Canada Im picking up a transfer case and a trans... hopefully. And battery terminals... good god those are terrible.
