    Truck has had no AC since I got it. Had a hose worn through. Hoses seized to Evaporator core so also fired the parts cannon at that. Evap core, lines, condenser, accumulator all being replaced. Going to see if the compressor works first but I'm guessing I'll need that too. Also have a new...

    Truck has been in need of door pins and bushings for a while. Got a pile of parts from Cunningham Machine for that that I have been sitting on. Driver's window stopped windowing so pulled the door apart and off, found the track rusted through on the bottom of the window. Also found I needed...

    Got a used Jeep bumper for less than steel to build my own, frame spacing is close, should only take a couple simple brackets to get it on there. Test fit:

    Had a leak at the transmission cooler line connection at the radiator. Decided that the fitting in the radiator was likely the culprit and decided to fire the parts cannon. New radiator, 40k transmission cooler, Kloc hood latch bracket, new condenser.

    Original hood was badly faded and cracked. Got a used replacement way back and that had gotten pretty rusty, even had some holes in it. Ended up winning a raffle through my friends speed shop and used it to get the hood. Had it painted and put it on. Shiniest thing on the truck!

    Vintage tuning. Did this primarily for speedometer calibration but it also firmed up the shifts some.
