Re: What did you do to your truck today!
Removed windshield wiper motor and linkage etc. Removed windshield (in pieces). Removed kick panel vent doors. Removed headlight and wiper switch. Removed dome light. I figure I will be ready to spray over cleaner all over the inside of the cab by this weekend.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
You can drive it though, huh?
Some of these days, when it's cold and wet, and generally depressing, I forget that I LIKE to wrench. On these days, I'd rather have a truck that's as nice as yours (hell, wouldn't even have to be THAT nice) that I could tinker with if I wanted to...And drive it in the mean-time. In my experience, that's a great way to save money, too. For me, tinkering's dangerous. It leads to the hard stuff. That new truck of yours looks very sweet.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
scraping and cleaning and sanding the susupension/chassis it is caked with dirt and all. This truck has been sitting somewhere in the desert field since late 80's or early 90's. I painted it with some cheap flat black but was kinda half butt so I am scraping it all off and starting over today.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
Well since the Trucks in for Interior Paint, I bought a new Steering Wheel to match the Leather seats. Then I bought a Billet "Dress-up Kit" for the Steering Column, along with a Billet Gear Selector. I'm going to buy some "bare" Interior Door Panels, and take them, the Visors and Dash pad,
all into the uhpolsters and have them cover all 3 items, to match the wheel. Then I bought some 360 Degrees Green LED lights for my Silver Faced Autometer Gauges. Also going to pick-up some aftermarket Kick Panels/Speakers too.
