Put the cab back on to check for engine clearance. Looks good so far.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
Bought a seat. 88 with maroon vinyl. It sits a little high but I will cut the frame and shorten it.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
I started on lowering and rebuilding the frontend of my truck Sunday, All I did was remove the swaybar, pull all of the cotter pins and sprayed the nuts and bolts with PB Blaster so that everything would be loose when I break out the tools. Can't wait to get started!!

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
Well I was on my way to work on the 66 when the Ranger started to make that noise again. There is a noise it has been making when taking a left turn on the freeway but not all the time. Well this time it really started. It sounded like a wheel bearing. It managed to stop binding and I drove it home about 15 miles.
It seems the last dork that did the brake job forgot to put the seal on the left side. I drove this truck 35,000 miles like this. After I got the wheel off I noticed I needed new brakes. I should have known something was amiss. When I first got the truck it was making a banging sound when ever I went over a bump. I noticed it stopped when I applied the brakes. Well after looking around the same dork that forgot the seal didn't tighten the caliper mount bolts very well. They were making their way out. Lucky for me I was able to get the remainder of the bearing off. So I had to work on that truck instead today. I put new rotors, brakes and wheel bearings only on the left side but I did repack all of the bearings. I spent about $150 in parts. I think I am going up Sunday to work on the 66. I want to get ti started this weekend.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
Finished up my exhaust work. I was running straight 2.5" pipe from the turbo. It sounded a bit ****ty but nice loud turbo whistle. So, I put a magnaflow performance muffler inline and dumped it out flush right in front of the rear tire with 3". I like it, it fills it out and makes you think twice about whats packing under the hood!

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
Hey I finally did something on the truck too. Got the holes drilled for the spotlight, and mounted it for the test fit, before painting.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
With the ongoing rain a squeek developed in the wiper linkage. Removed the cowl vent and greased all the bushings. Now it's nice and quiet again and should last another 50 years before needing additional attention!

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
Replaced my LH trailing arm, on Sunday.
Is there supposed to be a 1" gap between the channels????? Too many burn outs it guess.
