Nice job J! I'm still jelly that you have such a clean one. The one I had was a mess(don't have it anymore )

you need another one! I got pretty fortunate in finding this one being in such solid shape and being so low miles. I cannot wait to get a fresh paint job on it.

I do want one. Love to get my kids involved on how to work on these older trucks.

That's another big reason I bought. So far 3 of my 4 boys have at least watched and learned quite a bit since we brought it home so that's been pretty cool

Love the older trucks.

That is going to be sweet when you get it done. I'm sure Rock Auto has all that you need as well.

This should turn out to be a good one if I don’t screw it up lol

Yep, I can get most parts I need between rock auto, O’Reilly and LMC. I can’t get enough of driving it

Did a few piddly things on the dually today...

New coolant reservoir. Not sure I’m 100% happy and may get a custom reservoir.

New windshield washer fluid tank.

Detailed the inner wheel wheels

Polished the wheels a little. The previous owner left them super dirty

Before


After


Removed the blue writing on the tailgate that was there from when the previous owner bought the gate from the salvage yard

I was gone for the full weekend so this is what I did this afternoon after we got back in town

I’m also thinking I’m gonna have to get some tires. 6 tires is spendy

Wow, that made a huge difference on the wheels. You said you like driving it, hows it ride?

Rides pretty decent for a 1 ton, honestly. I was expecting a much harsher ride but it's not bad. The overload springs clang around a little bit but that's probably because the bed is empty and I'm not towing anything so they have nothing to do LOL

I'll have to get a better, full truck pic or two of it this week or this weekend. Cleaning up the wheels on it made a huge difference! I'm pretty sure it'd been a couple years since they'd be cleaned last.

Tailgate lights all work now
