Practicing on the beater 94. Can’t hurt it, whole suspension needs work anyway. Direct to metal oil based enamel. If you have the rear mount off anyway? Clean up the mess, seal it up. Yes, that is a model brush, small area, lots of pits. Let me layer it on thick in the rougher spots.

Pulled the bed on my own, Saturday. That is in fact the factory Bridgestone Touring T/A P205/70r14. The truck shipped with P225/70r14s on 14x6 alloys.

Took maybe 2 hours from pulling tire through paint. Will be doing the frame blue; shackle, leaf springs, front beams and radius arms fire engine red. Needed a break from the C10 lowrider build.

Sat under trees for about 8.5 years. Bed floor covered in rotting leaves and black walnuts.

Got the toolbox this morning. Friend is clearing out his Fred Sanford-esque acreage. Free, just need to bolt it down, polish it up and replace the lid lifting struts. It’ll do…

Lli Bit tried to eat a deer… 97 2.3/5spd 2wd swb

Took a couple hours to lift Barney. Had not been worked on in 5 years or so. With current fuel prices, a 2.3/5spd 2wd makes more sense for daily use than a lifted 1t 4wd dually with a V8.

Good 30” of ground clearance up front. Clutch kit is here, need new tires and a fuel pump. All fairly easy. Will use my engine houst to pull the bed off. Truck normally has 1992 Sport alloys, may run 15” Dodge steels with 215/70r15s instead of 225/70r14s.

Yes, this is the 1 I planned to carb/points swap with Pinto parts.
