Please note, I changed the shifter rails for this project as well

They might not look that different but the notches on the right shaft are deeper in the 4WD positions than the shaft I took out. I'm not sure it'll work if you don't have a newer shaft.
You have to modify the rails for the twin-stick mod anyways... I could always modify the rails as necessary to get the sensor to work

That was my thought as well.

Installed my new front drive shaft today. @Travlr mentioned just replacing the old one, which I did. Ordered a new shaft from Oreilly’s and the guys dropped it off at the shop today. Perfect fit.

So today, I helped out a neighbor and changed her oil and filter, new air filter, new fuel filter, checked rear diff, made sure tires were at correct pressure, etc. I had bought the filters and oil when I went to "town" yesterday. She offered up some dollars for the supplies and my time but I wouldn't take it as she lives on just social security. She asked if I could use a "truck part" she bought for her "Old Chevy Pickup" that never got installed before she sold it. So I had a look in the shed and there was a pretty haggard looking box from AC Delco that had part #251-544. Opened the box and the pump is in fine shape, just a smidge of surface rust in a couple spots.

Not so much what I did to my Square, more like what I did for my Square...

As far as for the square, drainage is in and functional. Will finish raking the floor tomorrow to disperse the disturbed rock, then hurry up and wait on Rock for the strainers, etc.

Ok I'm talking to my buddy, he can make them for me after I test the 3d print. I was thinking about making 5 to start off with.

reminder that cheap magnets from amaswan under the top side of the radiator support corners helps hold screws/tools. Careful putting them in....if they "snap" too hard, they'll break. Guide them in the direction they want to go.

Very cheap vs the grumbling lol.

Dropped the Brodix heads off at Dunn’s Machine Shop to have them looked over. Stayed and shot the $hit for a while and talked cars, about everything really. He gets a bad rap for being grumpy, but if you spend some time and are generally interested in engines, cars, etc, he will keep you there talking until you’ve stayed way longer than you planned.

Then went for a cruise and stopped into town for some ethanol-free.

Thanks bud! Honestly I’ll probably switch back over to my rallies for the winter as soon as I find a way to store the Halibrands without scratching them. The garage space is limited and they’d probably be best stored in the crawl space but it’s a backbreaking venture.

Nice wheels/tires get stored in the living room.

Or the bedroom

Lol, people may think I'm joking, but I'm not. Although, I can't store my stuff in the living room now, for fear of the kids ruining them. I do have a set of NOS Goodyear GS-C's stored in the hall closet though.
