Finally got everything back together and it’s now back to daily driver duty! I’m really happy. The firewall had broken around the clutch pedal, I guess that’s pretty common on this body style. I was able to put a couple tack welds on it to hold until my reinforcement plate gets delivered. Then I’ll pull all the pedals out and mod the brake pedal for the hydroboost. The brakes are fantastic! I have never been able to stop this quickly and effortlessly. The exhaust is very nice, it’s quiet in the truck but loud out back. Sounds great next to a wall/fence/building. Getting the driveshaft rebuilt has probably been one of the most immediately satisfying things I’ve done to this truck. It has always had a vibration over 2300 rpm and that is completely gone; I feel like I could balance a pen on the shifter. That was worth the money. Now it’s been very hot here, about 100 consistently for a week or 2 now. The truck never went or 195 degrees. I think (I haven’t driven it a lot but I’m sure it would’ve shown earlier) I won’t have any head gasket issues. The original issue was 100% my fault but a very important learning experience for me. Glad to have my truck back.
