    Thank you. Sorry I didn't see your message. I haven't been on here in a bit; no work done or needed on the truck these days. The one I installed is AC Delco; thought it was the better choice at the time. Seems like Redhead and Blue Top are the highest recommended on here and are what I would...

    Installed Craftec bed cover. What a pain! Possibly the most difficult thing I've done to this truck. Definitely needed a third or fourth hand; also required a dremel, needle files, soft material mallet, and spend a few days charging up your patience reserves (none of which mentioned by...

    We're all in a hurry to get to the next stop light & some can't be bothered to just drive, let alone understand there are other cars around. Respect & civility only expressed when there are too many witnesses

    I can imagine. Drove to DFW Frame & Alignment the other day, that area is so different; I could sense the change in traffic attitudes. Spent 20+ yrs in Bedford; only wreck was the old 93' (close to Pipeline & Belair intersection). Been in W'ford for 5 yrs; been rear-ended 3 times & also T-boned...

    Thank you. It's being driven sparingly. I cruise it to work & back, not much else; drivers in Weatherford scare the $@!# out of me.

    What stereo am I looking for?

    Officially a truck again. Bed and bumper installed over the weekend. How many shades of silver did they have on these? Look close at the passenger seat and you'll see Black Dog at shotgun ready for his first ride.

    Can someone teach me about radiators and what will fit?

    If you get one for a 7.4L, 3500, HD, etc. Make sure to not get the extended filler neck. You won't be closing your hood if you do.

    It has a face now. Truck is a 94, but I've had the 93 grille since back when the other truck was wrecked; and i like the older grille better. New accumulator & A/C lines installed, 5vortec7's headlight & fog light harness installed, bumper needs adjusting, but it was all good enough to get...

    Back at it finally. New bumper brackets, headlights, air baffle, soldering in new lighting connectors, replacing loom & will be installing 5vortec7's headlight harness with fog lights soon. I have a factory fog light switch on the dash, but no wiring up front. I assume the PO just replaced...

    Not much progress since I've been having to do house hunting and working on other two vehicles in the fleet. Spare monies has been scarce as well with down payment saving and getting new tires on all three this month. Just slapped tires on it today, so felt motivated to check something off the...
