More goodies arrived, time to start putting them on

Each year I am able to convince the "lil Lady" to let me do another of the long list of things to the 62'. Well this year it is: ( I wanted to get this done before the new short fleet bed is finished and back on)

1. Rebuild the Rear Diff with a Auburn High Performance Limited Slip Posi unit, keeping the 3.73 gearing.

2. Ceramic Headers from Rewarder (www.rewarderheaders.com) a bit pricey but some of the best out there. Will do a full 3'' Aluminumized exhaust w/Flow Master 40's dumping just before the rear axle.

3. Stainless Steel Gas Tank for the Rear.

4. Rebuild both doors, all new glass, Mechanisms, rubber etc.

The Rear Diff parts arrived as well as the Headers yesterday so I am hoping to have this in the shop (My father-in-laws, he's been a mechanic for 50+ years, has a High Performance Shop here, specializes in classic hot rods) next week having the rear end done, headers and exhaust completed, then maybe the tank will be in and we can get it mounted and plumbed, ridding the cab of the OEM version.

I will get some photos taken and posted of the goods, before and after install.

Sorry for the Rant, I am just stoked she let me do this much with the way the economy is and all. (you all know I had to sell my soul for all this ) (I think my father -in-law had a talk with her - bout the importance of men and their toys)
