Thanks man! Yeah she is super-mom!

 

I broke the plastic clips that hold the ac and heater cables in place while changing out my dash so I'm trying to fix that over the next few days.. Also got a clock!

 

You install your suspension yet?! Also does your A/C work? So nice to have in the summer!

 

Nice truck, really liking what you're doing with it. After your first post I thought you had the OME suspension in already and I was thinking it looked awfully high for only a 2-2.5" lift. Can't wait to see how it looks with the OME stuff on it as I have an '84 that's the same color as yours that I'm fixing up and getting ready to put OME stuff on it.

Also, what seats are those?

 

Ashamed to say I have not made any progress lately. I have a compressor but it doesn't work so that's next on the list. My girlfriend has been asking if the ac will be working in time for summer lol. Feeling the pressure! I have been a little hesitant to start the suspension by myself but I think it's time to man up and do it!

 

Thanks plainview!
I have a procomp lift on it now, bought it like that. I hope the OME is a little smoother. I also have a rooftop tent I want to put over the bed and need to arrange some storage in the back. Need to get the suspension set up before I add the weight!

The seats are out of a 92 SR5 pickup. Really comfortable and they bolt into the stock holes with a little convincing.

 

Good deal, at least you already have the A/C parts! That's half of the challenge haha

 

Going to put on my James Dean Creations SR5 stickers!

 

Little bit windy but everything turned out great.

 

Nice!!!

 

Man... Looks awesome with that Softopper. I hadn't noticed how sweet those fill in panels are on that bumper until I saw it in your thread.

 

Thanks I love the soft topper, keeps my tools and stuff dry and I don't have to keep them in the cab with me. Rolled up the sides for the first time and took it for a drive. Makes visibility a little better.

 

Spent the day fixing some crazy wiring near the tail lights. Also cleaned up my factory license plate bulb covers that had been painted over.

 

Went ahead and got rid of my big heavy pipe bumper. Wow... I'm guessing but it felt like 150 lbs. wasn't ready for that. Anyway I think it looks better without.

 

I had some major bubbles in the side stripes so I took them off.

 

Installed my second alternator in the last 6 months..
If anyone has any ideas as to what could be killing my alternator I'm all ears.

 

My fuel gauge hasn't worked since I bought the vehicle and I've been sitting on a regulator I ordered a while back because I didn't want to drop the tank or remove the bed. Today I crawled under the truck

and saw that there was just enough room for me to swap in the new regulator! I had to squeeze in and make a short screw driver but I got it done and I'm pretty excited.

 

 

I've been struggling to get my ac and heater control unit into place along with all the cables. Finally finished it.
Clock is in and I love it.
Threw out the junk radio and thinking possibly a factory radio or second shelf to replace it.

 

Getting ready for a camping trip.
Tent

and rack with the help of my girlfriend.

Cap Rack came in the mail





Adjustable and easy to install





Clamps on, no drilling





Slides under Softopper rail. Rail in this pic is Softopper hardware.





Thanks for helping!





Her hand slipped off and almost punched me in the face. Was it an accident?





Cap rack installed with Softopper skeleton





Softopper canvas back on and roof top tent bolted down





Sure is high but I won't have to worry about snakes crawling in bed with me
