Finally looked into the intake manifold gasket leak only to find out the manifold itself is warped, which is apparently common for Ford inline 6's. Resurfacing probably won't work because the intake ports where the leak happened will still not line up. I was told that if I loosen the bolts joining the intake & exhaust manifolds and then align them on a flat surface, then re-tighten, that might work....plus I've got a nice thick Remflex gasket for it (thanks Charlie). Last resort is a whole new manifold.

Changed out the park/neutral switch on top of my stteeing column. Trying to get reverse lights to work. Reverse is supposed to be light green according to the Haynes book. Lights still don't come on with new switch. I tested all the wires at the hitch with lady switching gears and braking. I really don't want to hunt down the loose connection, but also don't want to pay someone to either.

Electrical stuff can really try your patience...

I got a vent cut in and some louvers put on my dodge. There must have been a rack of sone kind on the roof, so I took out the old bolts and patched the holes. I have a few spots to patch in the doors where there were different style side mirrors once were. It’s all coming along, little by little this winter.

Decided to "really" take a day off; wash my 74' G10 and go for a ride.

Did some brake bleeding, will require replacing the drivers rear wheel cylinder, someone mangled the bleeder, I drew out 1/3rd pint of black rancid smelling liquid from the brakes, used my mighty vac, the master cylinder is still black, feeling its futile, will need a new master cylinder when it warms up outside. I've ordered new coil springs for up front, small gap between the I-beams and bump stops, hope to get it up to the correct ride height, then my tires should fit without contact, tire shops holding onto them for me. Going to replace the dash speaker tonight, get the stock blown one out, my cigarette lighter has no power, not sure where to locate the issue, fuses are all good. Replaced the tail light lenses, turn signal relay, and hazard relay, spraying off all the corrosion, so the lights are finally working correctly. Can almost hear the radio, need to get the amp in and find somewhere to mount more speakers up front, maybe in the ceiling over head.

Been busy working on my trucks.
Having some leftover chromebrite paint from the truck touch ups, I finally re painted the grille on the van. I thought it looks good chrome.
