Lol Touché!
It's soon to be minus one, I forgot to bring a small enough punch home from my toolbox at work to drive the pin out to remove the one no longer needed on the column. That's the pain of being an onsite mechanic, half the time what you need is in your main toolbox not at home. Or I could leave it sort of like a theft deterrent device for millennials. "which one do we move to make the truck moooove?!" "Dude, I don't know!!"

Add a switch to the lever under the hood so it has to be in a certain selected slot to be hot, that would trip up any thief.

Flogged it last night on some back roads to loosen up the tranny so it'll shift and operate better.

It's been like 6 weeks since I dropped my vent windows off for new gaskets. Should have known 35 bucks was way to cheap.

Yeah, that's way too long! Should be an hour job, 2 hours at the very most.

Mine got hit with the pressure washer the other day since it has been sitting for a couple years and half the paint blew off the hood. It is a sight now lol. Looks like the sealer had zero bond to the paint. No big deal. Once things get straight I am just gonna rhino line the whole damn thing and call it good.

Big rims and low profile tires are better suited to sports cars... not trucks.
Like others have said, it's yours. Do whatever you like!

Until you find a curb ...:flame:

Aluminum does not play well with concrete- cosmetic blemish, but Fock.

Checked the fluids on Goldie, aired up the tires a bit, and will take her home for a week or two.

Brought the cluster over from eskimomann209 ( flying by memory on the screen name, so apologies if I butchered it - edited to fix it ! ) but probably won't fool with it yet.

I am thinking more putting the OE passenger side caliper back on with new pads and maybe installing the 4 core all metal radiator I had built using the old metal tanks.

Screw ye, ya plastic and aluminium swab !:ehcapt:

LOL - it has/does work well , though.

This inner fender can kiss my ass.
Every half inch bolt would just spin the damn metal clip on the back side.
I used a prybar on a few, but ended up drilling in to the clips on a couple others. What a pain in the ass!
Got the new one painted in between, but now it's pouring down rain.
