Ignorance is Bliss.

Been a few days; time to address the latest issue. Took her out last weekend and got lost on some BLM; ended up a pretty rough 7 hours lol. That said, she faired the trip very well! But now it's time to replace some u-joints on the drive line. I noticed some slight vibration through the...

Got lost on some BLM trails yesterday, was the first time she'd been put to the test. I was rather pleased!

Great news! I just discovered I do indeed already have the NV4500 transmission! Big relief for sure! She's got the side plates for PTO access, and she's rock solid! Pictures of angles for full view of cosmetic upgrades. And just because I think these shots are bitchin. I'll be uploading a...

Unfortunately I do not have any kind of air compressor. 2018 brought a lot of things into my life; i.e. our first house, marriage, baby girl, ect. so I havent yet began to accumulate shop equipment much beyond basic tools. I detailed for Harley Davidson, and for Freightliner once upon a time...

Cab/moon/sport/sun visor (everyone seems to call it something different) before/after.... I'd waited a long time for one of these and a local buddy that works at a salvage yard tracked this one down for me. It's a Lund model. You can tell it's been around a while as the paint's clear coat had...

Finally got !y hands on a cab visor. Got her all sanded up and ready to prime and paint. I'll end up sanding and painting the roof of the cab as well, since it's the only part of the truck suffering from any form of cancer.

my little clasp fix actually made more noise than before, so I ended up using some gasket maker goop around the hole then clamped down directly around it. Had to trim up the cover a bit, but I think it got rid of the sound haha.

Yessir, originally I had thought I had the 4L60E because that's all Google would show me when I would search for information pertaining to what I had. Apparently not even google doesn't know how to drive a standard ;). I was recently educated on the differences of the NV3500-NV4500...

Ignorance is Bliss.

It's about 6-8 inches after my glass pack (also ancient). After painting up my rims today (see build thread for update), I decided to utilize the can to fix the exhaust leak. I cut both ends off the can and cut it down the middle so I could wrap it around the exhaust and hose clamp it down...
