First, wait until snow melts. Then in May :rolleyes: steering shaft u-joint, rad support bushings, track bar bushings, sway bar bushings, LS ball joints, rear drums and shoes, fuel tank pickup tube, bed body work and related, and on and on.

For now:
Finish cleaning up the wiring
Install my new to me fuse box
Wire in the 4 lights I had on the light bar in their new homes
Find some way to time my truck.
extend the steering shaft
Fix the front body mounts


Long term
the list goes on...

Steering linkage is getting sloppy

Gotta rewire the crew cab as an electrical short nearly caused the sucker to catch fire. In the process it melted the fuse block and took out a host of the stock wiring harness.

Also want to add on-board air via a York, Rhino line the bed, and I haven't even started on the to do list for the camper.

Get the truck home from the previous owner. :D

Then hopefully it's just fluids and electric brake controller to get it set up for towing the rally car.

Hmm....
* Bunch of interior parts to reinstall
* Look for some replacement interior parts - visors, door panels, seat belt bucke
* Parking brake cables (all)
* Skid plate for front tank
* Tranny leak from rear seal (prob. have to pay a shop...)
* Manual glow plug switch
* Maybe cut the soup bowl...
* Install quick-disconnect for trickle charger
* Door/window seals
* Radio/speakers
* Taillights
* Fix the @%&*^# dent in the previously pristine '80s era aluminum topper, made by a chunk of ice sliding off the roof back in Jan

And that's just on the '85. Now on the two PSD's, there's......

Thought I was done for awhile. Then I got in the Wheeler to run to town yesterday. And no Cruise control. So gotta tear into that and figure out what went wrong. Always something I guess.
