Saw those. But three hundred is a bit steep. Maybe in a couple of months. First on the list is shocks, a compression test and then adjusting plans according to what I find. Just bought the truck for 1500. After a thorough cleaning and some minor repairs it's looking real good. Runs fine but probably has the death flash and could use the Hughes air gap intake, throttle body upgrade and possibly the 1.7 rockers. Has 255000 miles so a low mileage 5.9 swap might be the ticket if compression test looks bad. Any how, lots of plans to make and lots of overtime to work to pay for it all. Like I said, good times. :-)

 

Having the money, or the time to spend it, but, never both at the same time.

 

As usual, Hey You is right....





The tabs on the cooler say Hayden, So I am assuming it is the Hayden 678 Trans Oil Cooler. I see the spot where the OE one would go, indeed between the A/C Condenser and rad... I swear I learn something new about my truck everyday...

 

Drove it to town a few times.

Real reason to post, I found something I think it kinda kool while digging through the grandparents wine selection, mostly because of the embargo but, I found a large bottle of Cuban Rum. Awesome! If only there was a box of Cuban cigars next to it....

 

I know what your doing tonight!

 

You know what WERE doing tonight. Lol

 

Did Hughes plenum fix and decided to paint this also removed old window covers that were on my truck. Failed to wash it today though.

 

FINALLY finished my truck today! got the part i was waiting for in the mail today. as soon as it got here, i went to work. i needed to get another 4 qts of atf +4 and got them for 4.00ea at advance, using my account!

all gears work flawlessly, even did a couple wot runs, and it shifts great!

overall, im liking the BW solenoid already, and i forgot what it was like to have o/d in my truck!

 

That looks REALLY nice. Did you install the flares?

 

yup, a while ago. as you can see desperately in need of new tires and rims along with some new paint. Trying to currently decide weather to keep the chrome bumper or switch it to black also.
