[1994pd]

I get them from a parts supplier in St. Louis.

I ended up buying this packing material if anyone else needs some... The new radiator came in so Anna and I put it all back together and got it running, purrs like a kitten

The machinist finished up the head - so got the manifolds installed, head installed with new TTY bolts. Confirmed valve clearances, confirmed injection pump timing. Installed speed sensor for cruise control and made a harness to connect the sensor to the main chassis harness where the wiring stopped. Getting closer!

At least you got your head back from the machine shop!

Had a day between Colorado projects, so took the Tundra up Mt Herman and ran the Rampart range road. Nice view of Pikes Peak.

Eric has been motivating me to get this thing going...

@2fpower, I see you, and raise you a modified transmission tunnel.

 

[2fpower]

I am still playing catch up with you and your painted tub....

Tested the transmission on the truck out with a quick drive to Virginia. Everything was great until I hit the deer. Hopefully get a new bumper out of that situation.

Oops. How does this keep happening...

Tough country
Ranch hand
Buckstop
Reunel

Fab Four also makes one like the tough country and ranch hand. Spending 4 years in Alabama, I saw plenty of brush guards and bumpers (almost all ranch hand) and they took a hell of a beating.

 

[tornadoalleycruiser]

I had a ranch hand on my powerstroke. Needed a repaint but was a stout bumper. couldn't hurt the thing.
