Finished up my battle with an inferior product Autoloc=Junk.

Installed the new wheels my daughter picked out for her Honda.

i cut out an access panel in the bed, i had to get some glue behind the lense anyways, bt afterwards i have some hinges i am going to weld on, and then use some quick release screw like they have on drag car hoods to keep it shut

Worked sat some nice OT then came hose cleaned the house up a bit for my late birthday party. I drank way to much sat night. Sunday it was requested that I fix the turn signals and tail lights on my soon to be uncle in laws mini van that he had diagnosed at a local shop a few weeks ago. Last monday night the mulitfunction switch I replaced at his request of course it dident fix the issue. So sunday I was nice although hungover replaced the fuse which dissapered from the fuse box which put power back to the lights. He took it out he said lol. Then pulled the plugs off the rear harness cleaned the typical burnt garbage off plugged em back in and they all fired to life. Sad thing is he paid that shop $90 to have them look at it and they took 3 hours to come up with a part that wasent bad and dident even see the missing fuse,

Rollinsqrbdy · 01-11-2010, 03:24 PM

They only truck related thing i did this weekend was, look at it. My wife had me doing honey-do's all weekend and probally for the next couple weeks as we are remodeling the house.

Mr.Scary · 01-11-2010, 03:50 PM

2 cold here on the weekends to do anything really so the only thing i did truck related was put new battery terminal connecters on cause one of my other ones decided to take a dump on me and break and he out a friend and install sport mirriors on his 84' came out lookin pretty good, maybe i should put my sport mirriors back on LOL!!

Slick17 · 01-11-2010, 04:23 PM

Well truck related was just wish that I was putting my steps on the beast. Didn't get around to it. Might do it tomorrow though (half day at work). This coiming week I'm going to the International Bike Expo in D.C. That should be cool.

Twisted78SS · 01-11-2010, 05:15 PM

I finally did get out to my shop and do some work on one of my trucks. The 71 4x4 I bought awhile back had an inop heater, so I dug into it and found both a bad switch and a frozen cable. I decided to pull out the entire assembly and clean it while I repaired it, but I found once I got it out, that all the rivets holding it together were toast and it was falling apart. I had another control set from my Blazer, so after cleaning and lubricating all the cables and testing the switch on it, I installed it back in the truck.. Nice to have working heat!! I also began to clean up the NP 205 in preparation for new seals and a transplant from 4 spd to automatic. Now I just have to gather up my flex plate, starter, and a few other goodies..

What transmission are you using?

Getting parts to Denmark must be expensive. Having spent a few years in your area, I know what the taxes, import fees and shipping fees are.

Where did you get this truck? It's a rare vehicle to see in Europe.

Good luck.

Justins76 · 01-11-2010, 10:20 PM

Got my defroster working, changed the oil and put in a new speedo gear.

pat386 · 01-12-2010, 08:10 PM

Almost forgot, changed my high beams and low beams. and also made the low beams the inner lights, and high beams the outers.

Benelli · 01-13-2010, 04:15 PM

Pulled down 3 old Ash trees with my K10. Got it stuck, used floor mats to get it out.

Only have a dozen or so more trees to do.

i just used the bench seat brackets and made a frame out of angle iron then bolted the seats to it and built the console to be easily removeable and hook on the frame... and there is about 2" between the console and the sub box the seats are out of a 1980 fullsize ford bronco

got the front speakers moved to the center because aparently i have holes where kick pannels are and my speakers got wet and fried... oops

got the steering wheel in

now just waiting for me carped dash pad to show up
