Made sure it still ran after a couple months of being in the cold.

Thank you very much
I finally flipped the shims under the springs...PO put them it the opposite way and truck didn't drive great-it tracked the ruts in the higway...Scary sometimes...I started with back side-unbolted the clamps(not all the way) and axle raised by itself to the point I could remove the shim and insert thicker one(6 degree-little over half inch thick- for 4 inch lift),put it in in opposite way-thicker side pointing back and bolted it together .checked angles on flanges are 0 degree difference=great...test drive-nothing changed-it may be even worst I felt....Than I flipped the front shims-lowering front pinion down...angle was still 5 degree of (I also put thicker shims)from front pinion to TC..But truck drive like a butter...It cured my driving problems!!!5 degree of is not a big deal because you usually don't use front driveshaft in high speeds and in lower speeds is OK...I am quite happy about that...

I love the seats and they are very supportive! It feels like my 40 gives me a hug every time I get in the drivers seat.

Rick, all you need now is to train your 40 to give you a kiss too
after all hugs and kisses go together, right?
Installed a new starter 2 weeks ago on my small block 350, then had the 2nd MSD distributor (1st was a pro billet, and the 2nd was an E-Curve) within 3 years fail on me. So this time I replaced it with a HEI from Autozone.....Works like a charm and has a lifetime warranty. I'm really done with aftermarket performance parts. Hopefully I can make some time to replace the Edelbrock 1406 with a GM TBI setup. I have all the main pieces already, I just need to order all the factory plugs/connectors.
Swapped my gauges into the new cluster.

Is that plug and play? Looks awesome!
Rewelding rear flares back together after removing bondo-scabbed-galvanized-attempt to-widen-them. Removed another 1/2 tonne of bondo from passenger side of truck. Made a bikini top. Most importantly, took it out for a spin cause it was so freaking nice out.
Thanks.
It'll be plug and play when I rewire the dash. LOL
That will be the hard part. I've got a pinched nerve/tendonitis in my arm and it's hard to bend certain ways, so it'll be a challenge to make the matching connector.

Did a Warn hub rebuild. Before and after pictures.

Also used Plasti Dip on my broken up plastic door actuator handles. Super easy, very happy with outcome. I didn't even need to remove the handle.

It's ok!! I just never made a mistake
After using my 84 as a daily driver for the last 6 months, I decided to do some much needed maintenance. I bolted on a new Toyota carb, adjusted the valves, changed the spark plugs, and repaired an exhaust leak. All I can say is wow!!!!!! What a difference those few things made to her performance and now she runs and idles soooooo sweet.
