Side marker light and headlight washer pump.
Tip: the factory manual has what is called a wiring schematic that shows what every wire on your vehicle goes to.
Not sure if they were optional or not. I know I have seen early 60 series trucks without them, and without the factory holes for the nozzles in the front valence. If your truck has holes in the valence under the headlights, there is a good...
Surprisingly good turnout last night. @fj40alex from Charlotte joined us and we had a new guest thanks to @Huevo450. I think the total head count was 7.
See ya next month.
Definitely not engineered for the end user! Did mine it a dirt parking lot and it took 3 days of available time and lots of profanity. Too bad mine didn’t fire up because it was the dropped valve that happened during shutdown.
Good you got it...

Got the rear main seal installed in the back plate. Then the upper oil pan and lower oil pan. Bolted on the fan pulley/clutch, a couple idlers and the crank pulley is just hand tight for the moment. Gonna need a second set of hands to torque...
All the above allowed me to continue with fuel rail, water pump and valve covers. I sent 12 injectors to a guy who tests, cleans/rebuilds and tests them again. I used the best 6 for this install. Six left over are perfectly fine, with numbers...
Updated the thread, the 3rd thursday this month is the 18th. I will be out of town that whole week so can't make it this time. Thinking a return to Tipsy Burro since we did Triple C last month. For July maybe try and mix it up again if we can...

Shane,
Tell us more about the Rugers. I assume they are Redhawks. Are they a matched set? Were they some kind of special edition set? I can find plenty of information about the 50th Anniversary Blackhawk sets with a similar case, but these...
