    Daily truck pics

    Here’s a front shot from the other morning. The bumperettes I bought 5 years ago, they were new old stock for our body style. I have only seen them in one other truck. Honestly thinking about maybe taking them off and finding a nice push bar for her. But they’re rare to find in obs trucks so I...

    I agree, my 95 is from NC and e brake works since day I got it, I also keep on top of everything like the yearly fluid filming underneath so it lubes everything. The 79 like stated is 0 rust and everything works as it should. I hate the rust belt that I live in but as long as I’m on top of...

    Got 2 solid trucks now, my daily 95 Chevy and the 79 Ford like my dad had that I’m gonna restore. Took the truck and trailer off this morning and man my truck feels so light and free from burden now. Later this week is a nice bath oil change and little maintenance. She deserves every bit of it.

    I checked the weather and I don’t see anything crazy, but the temperatures I see are going to be like 0 at night and 15 during the days. So I don’t need anything snapping.

    I’m honestly going to wing it and pray and hope for the best. I’ve checked everything I could. Fixed a couple small vacuum lines I saw when under the hood last week. It’s still a TBI old school setup.

    I gotta say tho, this forum helped me out with the 10-14 bolt swap. I couldn’t get the patterns or clearances right rebuilding it myself so I had to have a pro set it up for me. But everything else was cake thanks to this forum.
