Guess I'll go ahead and update this thread. Truck is now registered and insured and pulling it's first load today which amounts to a small trailer with a riding mower on it.
Here it is when I first drove it home from the farm.
Parked in the shop.
Some pictures of the rotten brakes.
So still have things to work on. Went ahead and got all new brake hoses, A/C kit (compressor, dryer, etc) and new inner and outer left and right tie rods. Determined the soft pedal issue is poorly adjusted rear drums and the RABS needs to be bled.
And something odd has happened with the trailer wiring. It has the factory trailer wiring and I have fixed it so that everything works but if I have the running lights on the turn signals don't work. This is without a trailer connected and just testing the truck wiring. The actual truck lights work perfectly however. Thinking I've got a crossed up ground somewhere but no idea where yet. I'll start with my EGT gauge as it's started acting weird when the lights are on.
Hope to make it out to the Rally for a day this year since it's so close to home. Work has kept me out of town and I've been moving this month as well so lots to do but little time.
