That thing looks SICK

Love the older style mirrors. Been itching to do something similar with mine.


Have you had any problems since switching out the control arms/ball joints etc?
It's been on my list (along with sway bars) but the old ones are working and at this point I've learned to pick my battles lol

No issues to speak of since replacing all the suspension. The rebound is pretty quick since every dampener on there is new, but that was expected. Filled up with firewood the other week, she rode like a dream.

I still get surprised for how well it handles curves at speed for such a big, top heavy truck. It was worth all those hours.

Finally got the dash back in tonight! Had a local mechanic do a blower motor, wiper motor, heater core, and hydro boost install. He said all three wiper motor bolts broke putting the new one in. Glad I dodged that bullet.

I put a tachometer and a clock in the spare holes in the dash. New knee panel is awesome, no cracks! Thanks Wedgy.

I also fixed my courtesy lights, basically by accident in the process of putting the dash back in. Headliner is also back in with a classic dome light. Also installed lap belts and got rid of the shoulder harnesses.

I've got the same guy that linered the van painting a spare tire cover Catfish gave me. Should turn out wicked. I asked him to do a small logo of his, to leave room for airbrushing. I'll post pics when I get it.

Van drives mostly okay, but I replaced my throttle position sensor, since it threw intermittent low voltage code. A new ICM and coil should be here tomorrow.

Bout that time to really start thinking about the interior!

Well, the guy painting the spare tire cover Catfish gave me sure isn't in a hurry.

Anyways, I'm in the process of installing insulation. I'll also pull the seats Sunday and put in my red ACC carpet for the front. I'll post pics when I get it in. Hopefully it's not to difficult to get it to sit right with a heat gun.

I can't wait to get a floor and walls in this beast! Been a long time coming.

Spare tire cover finally got painted!

Thanks so much catfish. Really ties the rear end together. Kinda like that rug in that movie about bowling.
