that bed is a rotted out POS, look at the rust lines around the fenders and how the tailgate is smashed

looks like a 200$ box

I'm with smike. If I'm spending real money, it'll be on a real rust free southern box, or a utility bed to mod for my use

(that white gas truck with the plow, bad trans, and utility bed is still up for $2000 - that's more tempting than this at $800)

Mmmm fluid changes


I have 2-2.5 gallons of Castrol Syngear CD-50 left. Fully synthetic 50w manual trans fluid. It's what's currently in my dispenser, yours for $35/gal. Will probably sit for years in the pail otherwise, let me know before I put the cheap stuff back in the dispenser.

No noise difference that I notice driving empty. Seems to run a bit cooler but haven't towed or driven for hours on end yet. Hopefully the damn cars will come in and I'll know this weekend.


AC parts coming in too. Retail price for all of everything (all lines, condenser and evap included) was just over 600. Deeply annoying labor but with the usual discount I'm hoping it's worth it. I really miss AC!!


Should get batteries soon as well. I need to call Erik's guy and see if he still does the stupidly cheap new takeout batteries.



Lastly, The hard start that began for smike is due to my bandaid for the shutdown solenoid, I'm sure. When parked with the fuel on the IP not killed, the pump leaks down and then takes lots of cranking to start once it sits for 24+ hours. Combine with having only one battery, and annoyance is the result.

So I'll have to fix that bracket for the third or fourth time, and make sure it is adjusted to perfection so it doesn't break bolts again.

Evap an heater cores replaced. Dash back together. Not at all done under the hood but the hard part is done. Wasn't really too bad.

Son of a bitch. Just remembered I didn't reconnect the blend door control. Guess I'll have to tilt the dash again. Damnit!

this is currently waiting on delivery of one more line (faith placed in auto zone home delivery, so help me! they said "ships within 2 days" - Advance couldn't get it, Stoney's couldn't get it, Arie didn't have it in-system anywhere, Napa had it in Texas and CarQuest had it in Kentuky. Dodge had a handful spread all over onsie twosie at twice the price, Rock Auto wanted $80 for next day shipping), and install of that line, compressor and condensor.

Then it just needs juice, hoping to get it done Thursday I guess we'll see.
