Did my back breaks, damn there were nothing left of the old ones.
Fronts are next.

 

Goin on a float trip tomorrow

 

Bought more parts for the 347
accel super coil and msd igntion, set of redone GT40 heads with dual valve springs, and crane 1.6 roller rockers tonight as well as BBK underdrives, prices seemed alright, slowly getting there!

 

Fixed all the damn exhaust leaks! Sounds great now!

 

pulled the ac line off not to hard refuse to pay 140 for a new one so went to the shop and made a hose and silver satured the new connectors on the ends going to put it back on and pray it doesnt leak on monday

 

Drove it to work ... 8 more hours then drive to my next job .. then fiannaly get to go back to sleep around 7 am woo hoo

 

Did some butt dyno tests and gave her a bath and wax. Very pleased with the results. I should have taken before & after pix since this truck was almost a project vehicle.

 

Removed the Mazda stickers off the tailgate, worked some more at getting the side stickers off and started to plasti dip my bumpers, will get pics tomorrow.

 

pulled most of my interior pannels off and got rid of about 8 years of dirt dust and grime... went through a whole bottle of simple green... put new cruise control controls on and put my stereo back it

 

Looked at it while I mowed grass....and then ended up giving it a bath

 

Thought about how after new trans filter, air filter, fuel filter, pinion seal, coolant flush, 2 oil changes, transmission fluid change, power steering fluid change, spark plugs, and numerous other minor fix-ups - I'm shocks, spring hangers, spring shackles and new tires away from having a reliable truck. Add to that a receiver hitch, a tool box and some signage - I'll have a reliable work truck. :)

 

Finally got all the stickers off. I ran out of goof off so I have to take a trip to the store tomorrow to grab another can so I can finish removing the adhesive. While I'm there I''m gonna grab a couple more cans of the plasti dip stuff. I love that stuff, I'm going to do my tool box in it and the chrome around the windows and the chrome tailgate handle.

 

drove to the next county and back then washed the whole rig.

 

Painted my toolbox, what a job that was took 2 1/2 cans of plasti dip to do it.

 

well i changed up my box location for my sub today. i had it sitting in sideways for a while and took it out when my newer amp died (damn it), so i got used to not being so cramped in. when i put it back in i was already sick of being craped in. so i started to think of a few ideas and figuered i pull the jump seat. then i mesured the shelf in the back, and that came to 4.5". i ended up haveing a 1x6 cut for 3 pieces at 15.5" that being width of my box.
scince 1x6's are only 5.5" wide i used one piece to give the front the elevation off the floor board and be leval(ish) then used the other to attatch that piece to the box its self. making an L shape. scince the 1x6 is taller than the shelf in the back i used the 3rd piece as a spacer in the back to leval it out. now the to of my box is amost to the seam/crease in the trim in the back. and most importantly my seat slides all the way back!

its not done yet, i plan on painting it with some black and grey textured paint to try and match the box, we shall see if it turns out. if it does sweet, if not ill try and carpet it.

sorry for the small pic photo bucket is down. ill have pics when its all said and done.

 

put new set of brake adjuster kits on and new brake cylinder for driver's rear. Rear brakes are good!

 

had some time left in the day yesterday after i mowed the lawn and detailed the truck to pull the fog lamps out and remove the surround.

 

Someone scratched my front bumper... it's a minor one but I just painted it... Guess i'll have to put some more paint on it

 

yesterday new thermostat..today..gona try to figure out overheating problem and/or pour gas all over over it and burn it up!

 

bought me some RockAuto cruise control switches. finally punched through switch face last week...looks like crap.

 

AVS Bugshield II and I finally put my other 2 Goodyears on the front!..... STILL need a bumper.

 

Got in, started it up, and drove away pissed because I still cant hear the Flow 44 i put on it yesterday

 

Give it two weeks. When I put my dynomax super turbo on it literally sounded quieter than stock. Two weeks later I could sort of hear it and now its loud. Just got to let it break in.

Anyways yesterday I got the toolbox installed in the truck, ran out of paint and money and the toolbox still needs another coat or two of paint, it'll just have to wait.

 

Finally did the T-bar crank. Took off the 22s, put stockers back on.

 

got in it after a relly bad day at work, started it up and took the back roads home, about an hour, enjoyed the old horse i have come to depend on.
