Currently working on finishing up the braking system. Ordering stainless steel brake lines from trailgear and an FJ master cylinder from Brian at WabFab. Also will be installing a dual diaphragm brake booster from govt.mule. I'm hoping this will get me until I rebuild the front axle which is hopefully many years away. At that point I may redo the front brakes with v6 calipers and rotors.

I also finally got my shock tabs welded in so I will be flipping the rear u-bolts as soon as I can get my truck on a lift. We decided not to try it in the driveway as I didn't have jack stands that would reach the frame.

I am also planning on painting the truck with Interlux Brightside Fireside Red. I have two quarts. Still not sure whether I am rolling or spraying. As soon as that is done I will be rolling on herculiner on the bed.

The engine surging issue was pretty bad last week. I'm still not positive that it is the carb or the throttle cable. I put a big spring on the carb throttle linkage and that's overcoming whatever was keeping the throttle open. Also getting a new throttle cable to see if that fixes that problem so I can ditch the massive spring. Either way the truck is running good now although the tailpipe is still too black. I'm thinking that I may need to consider the air-fuel meter to get it 100% adjusted.

As soon as I get a chance I will post up some pics to show all the newly installed stuff.
