I swapped my cab over to my pretty frame. I ordered energy suspension cab mount bushings a few days ago and just got an email that there about 3-5 weeks out. There are probably a lot of people who are dealing with more than out of stock truck parts so I’ll keep quiet LOL

Went to the junkyard to see about a transmision possibility but was grabed allready, the person that went with me wanted to stop a flea market. So found audio parts instead, hifonics zs65c components where in the junkyard and a orion amp at the flea market. I only got one tweeter and dont think will use them in the door, have 6x9 xplods in the rear allready.

Well yesterday, drove my truck again, this time to Bed Mart to get a new bed for my camper. Has the original in it from '94 and needles to say it is well worn out.

Today I installed the Glowshift pillar pod on my dad's truck, oil pressure, water temp, and voltage. Wasn't too bad to install, and looks pretty clean.

You've definitely been hanging around Cubey, an increase in the number of gauges and a renewed interest in camping! Just kidding, the gauges do look clean. Happy Camping!

So check this out, I drove a 60 or 70 mile round trip to pick up a lawnmower that I had to "sacrifice sell" a couple years ago because I needed $ more than a really cool lawnmower. So the old dually hauled it to the house again, because the same dually hauled it to the house about 3yrs ago. Yep it's a 1983 John Deere 111 38" mower riding on a 1986 Ford truck! Pretty cool, huh?

I made it all the way to work and back for the first time in my 6.9 which is a serious accomplishment. And while on lunch at work I welded my cross member to the frame and stopped the steering box frame flex, all the details in my thread.

Well Pilgrim, it sounds like I got the bigger truck, you got the bigger lawnmower, but we both got the Only Saviour (John 14:6)! I saw a John Deere 316 mower on Craigslist a while back, if you had one of those you'd be cutting grass with a John 3:16!

I pulled the auxiliary tank off my tow truck today. It was supposed to be empty, but it was full so I guess the gauge is a liar. Anyway, it's a plastic fuel cell @20 gallons or so. There was a layer of brown slime on the bottom of the tank, kinda weird. This will become my WMO tank so I wanted to clean it and check the sending unit. The sending unit is pretty rough and the gauge lies so I'll replace it. It looks similar to a bronco sending unit, any thoughts? I took a picture from the top of the duals so you can kinda see how it hangs in there, like a Chevys aux tank.

Finally got my hard fuel lines from ebay for the injector lines. This little crack was where my air leak was coming from I hope.

Picked up a bucket of generic 15w40, a filter, and a gallon of 75w140 Amsoil severe gear oil. Not a cheap day today LOL

Bearings are supposed to be here tomorrow, let's hope there aren't any surprises along the way!
