    So what did you do with your truck today?

    Went to get a load of compost for the garden. While there the drivers window rolled down and wouldn't come up again. Pulling the door panel showed this marvel of duct tape weaving protecting the failed scotchlok splice some previous owner made to replace the power window motor. On the bright...

    So what did you do with your truck today?

    As a reward for continued loyal service I decided to get the old girl something pretty. Just the red lense for the tailgate trim piece and don't look to close at that tailgate, its not exactly mint. I think it looks a lot nicer than it did before with the old one sitting in the bumper there.

    So what did you do with your truck today?

    In Since the cupholder arms race of the 90s on, you couldn't sell a vehicle with what these things have(seriously, what are those rings on the glove box door‽). I'm -shudder- minivan shopping at the moment and the things are advertising 18 cupholders(for an 8 passenger vehicle). I don't even...

    Parts becoming obsolete

    Maybe some of you with large enough space could foster a supply of parts trucks for those of us with more modest storage spaces(cue sappy Sarah McLachlan song). Also, Bullnose, best nose.

    TTB Alignment question

    Or bushings. The shackle bushings were really bad in my truck when I did it a couple years ago

    Hazard does only activate front blinkers?

    Not sure it applies, but my '86 F250 only had one light working on the hazards and all turn signals worked fine. I cleaned the switch in the steering column with some electrical contact cleaner and a paperclip and got all the lights working. I assume after several decades with little use those...

    What to do with this fuel filter?

    Racor makes really good stuff. Thats the same setup I put on my truck when my water separtor started leaking. They bolt right to the factory holes. I did go with the 30 micron instead of the finer options with the thinking that it was a pre filter for the other fuel filter, but I can't say that...

    What new radiator to buy?

    I went with the plastic and aluminum as well after reading towcats recommendation on them. Mines been in about five years now with no issues.

    Floor mats

    I have the husky liners in the front of my '86. Its not a perfect fit, but better than anything else I tried. I was bother enough by the fit at first to email them and while they didn't exactly answer my questions they did get right back to me. So far I am satisfied with them and the fit has...

    Grab Handles

    I installed one above the passenger side with rivnuts a few years ago. I think the handle was from an old 4runner.

    Infant car seats in these dinosaurs..

    I've got one squeezed in the center position of our super cab. The infant seat barely fit with the depth of the seat, but the new one fits better. He will have to turn around a little sooner unless we stick his legs out the rear slider though. I was able to find the tether anchor kit on ebay for...

    So what did you do with your truck today?

    Had the center console latch break on me the other day and couldn't get my sunglasses out without presumable breaking anything(and the tools were mostly inside there). The new one arrive and I decided to swap out the internals into the old body to keep the lock. Not like its secure or anything...

    So what did you do with your truck today?

    Bought a house so the truck has to do some actual work now. Everybody at the equipment rental and landscape supply places seems to like seeing the old truck putting in some work. Towing the dinky little rental utility trailer with sod cutter may have been the first thing the truck ever towed and...
