Bought some new mirrors and fabricated up some brackets with 1/8" steel, doesn't look too bad at all i'd say. Definitely a lot better than what it was before, I feel like I can actually back into a spot now :LOL:. Also performed another oil change and checked over the driveline to see if any...

The plan will be to buy a 1994-1998 Donor 12 valve ram with an NV4500. Turbo will be replaced most likely and fueling upgraded. It will sound beautiful through a 5 inch stack. Both engine and trans will be gone through to rebuild but buying a donor truck is the easiest way because then I know it...

Successfully attended every car show of 2023, no awards/trophies won however seeing the reaction of kids as I let them sit inside was good enough. Nothing is better than making a kid smile. A few dump runs were also done in this unit and seeing the faces in the scale office as I roll onto the...

Spent quite a few hours replacing all the Wheel cylinders on the truck. Successfully bled the brakes and decided to take it out for a lunch test drive.. WOW these trucks will stop on a dime with a fully functioning brake system, after lunch pulled it back into the shop and decided to try out...

I have been on this forum for quite sometime now looking at various helpful build/restoration threads and figured I should start a thread considering I have had this truck in my possession for a little bit and work is being done slowly. How I came to acquire such a great vehicle is actually...
