Busy day...

Pressed in the new ball joints, installed the hub bearings. R&r'd the trackbar bushing and installed the trackbar.
Ordered my rotors and tomorrow will pick up my calipers.

Edelbrock 14x3, headlight lens restore and the sagging door fix. The filter was kind of a pain, had to move alot of things and figure out what to do with the breather since the diy has mostly broken links. Also had to bug the main forum about the tb spacer, working on cars seems to be a new hobby of mine so I needed the help!

Got a socket from Pep Boys to torque my hub bearing bolts down.
Got my calipers...what a cluster frell that was, glad I bought extra hardware.
Anyway, they're painted and installed, awaiting the rotors to arrive.

I removed the after market receiver hitch, it was on the truck when I bought it. Mostly installed the trailer wiring kit from the dealer. Installed the glove box light switch, I found the wire behind the blank.

It's back on all fours and driveable, but needs an alignment...and I hope its not a sticking caliper.

Default Welded cracked frame rails!

I know this is listed under the 2nd gen (mine is an 88 Ram D100), but thought I'd throw in my 2 cents. Took truck to the shop to get the frame rails welded and strengthened - cracks all around the steering gearbox where it attaches to the rail, as well as cracks on the passenger side frame rail. Plan on working on the front end (bushings, etc) to tighten up the steering - probably get new tires and an alignment when all is said and done....can't wait!!!
