After 25yrs, I finally have a new windshield installed. Finally on to adding inner fenders and wiring. Hope to have it under its power by my bday in May. As long as its been sitting(27yrs), I almost gave up....glad I didnt! I don't know why my pic is sideways.

Did the jeep wiper arm mod which allowed me to fit 15" wiper blades and added Detroit Speed Selecta-Speed Wiper kit. Worked wonders with the recent SoCal rain we had over the weekend.

Spent the day trying to get my steering column from squeaking. It has some play at the top near the wheel. It squeaks when I wiggle it up and down not when I turn it. I failed to get it to stop squeaking. It has a new bearing at the bottom and top. The top one is the one with the play. If I tighten it using the clamp and spring at the bottom of the column and the rotating ring at the bottom it pulls my steering wheel to close to the part of the column that houses the blinker mechanism and the wheel bottoms out and will not turn. It is an aftermarket wheel.

Bolted bed together. Had to fiddle some as it’s a 7 footer. Long story

forestb · 02-02-2021, 08:08 PM

Was it easier doing it upside down?

rws1012 · 02-21-2021, 05:53 PM

Got my power brake booster installed. Used booster off a 2002 S-10 truck with Captain Fabs bracket. All fit very well.

**The Rocknrod** · 02-06-2021, 07:10 PM

Put my engine in by myself.

Reinstalled the freshly painted core support and grill support, installed the VA condenser, trans cooler, associated lines, etc.

jbgroby · 02-08-2021, 12:11 PM

Treated the truck to a new console cupholder from www.cupholdersplus.com $165 w/Free Shipping

I also order 2 Rockford Fosgate 6.5" speakers to be installed on each side (comes pre-cut), I'll make up 2 quick disconnects incase I have to remove the console if needed.

vin63 · 02-08-2021, 12:47 PM

Nice, Jacob! Does it stay pretty stable on the trans hump (what keeps it from sliding around)?

jbgroby · 02-08-2021, 01:00 PM

The two 'wings' are bendable and fit the trans hump very well.

Is that a high hump or a low hump? Also is it under the dash as far as it can go?

You can push it back about another 2-4".

I really need a speaker location and I really need cup holders but I love having that open space.

I'm making the speakers wire leads with quick RCA disconnects so I can remove the box if needed

Rob 61 apache · 02-10-2021, 09:26 PM

Finally got my rockers/doors on hopefully have engine running next week

**allchevy58** · 02-14-2021, 06:17 PM

Installed some tie downs in the bed, straps would rub the sideboards when I used the tie downs on the outside of bed.
