Its been a few days since I've been on here, but I haven't been sitting around. Finished bolting the bed and rear bumper back up last week. I have to get the screws to hold the filler neck to the bed and a new gas cap and its good, but other than that, it runs!! Fired right up for me with no leaks anywhere. The other day though, I went out to the barn and the brand new battery was completely dead. Looked around and found a ground wire from the trailer wiring harness that wasn't grounded. Charged the truck up and I'm in business. Drove it a few miles today to my mother's place and then home and it ran great. I noticed my bouncing fuel gauge is fixed too, I thought it was the stepper motor in the cluster. As soon as I got home I backed it in the barn and got it situated so I can start tearing into the front end this week. Took a few photos while I was out today.
Back of the truck looks brand new with the rust free '97 tailgate and bumper lol. The hitch doesn't look bad either now.

Just a bone stock interior for the most part. Swapped in a brand new OEM CD player a few years back, but besides that its stock. Eventually when the exterior is completely done, I'll start to focus on new carpet and other small pieces inside.

Still doesn't look very pretty, but she isn't spraying gas everywhere anymore. As soon as I got in the driver seat I had a huge grin on my face.

As you can see, it looks terrible. Over 150,000 miles of Northern Michigan weather in there lol. My dad decided to spray the rotors and calipers red for god knows what reason. Seeing as he passed away almost 7 years ago, I'm pretty sure its time these things are replaced.

And now for a question. How do I tell what lower control arms I have? CAST or STAMPED? I've heard it makes a difference for what ball joint I go with.
