I don't have a cowl vent so maybe no cowl vent tubes? I used an automotive seam sealer on the seam. The paint at the seam around the middle of the truck had bubbled/cracked so first figured that was the issue. Cleaned the seam and filled with...

Pull the cowl vent grate and clean it out and look to see if they're are drains in there. My 75 and i think 76 had the drain tubes in the tranny hump. Idk, what they did on later models. What did you use to seal the cowl seam? I've run...

The biggest takeaway I have, it would have been nice to have more time to finish some of the smaller details. That being said, I'm glad I made the decisions that I did and moved back out west. It would have been better to shoot the paint on...

All went well with intake manifold gasket. Always takes longer than you want it to doing it for the first time. Also dropped right side slider to repair broken hardware on front quarter panel. I have a shelf of parts to install..... little stuff...

New OEM mirrors better than the old “jeep” mirror Also removed the, “I dont know what the hell the po was thinking“ steering dampeners.

Looks great. Your moving fast. Im not a fan of the rear roll bars not going to the rear corners of the tub. It looks strange to me.

Getting more practice in today...

Table came with drawer setup when I bought the rig. Pretty nifty, adjustable legs and all

Nice! Look forward to chatting

Did you build the table ? Lets see it. Im a sucker for tables lol

Correct….folding polished wood table slotted in there….i admit the drawer/table setup was already there, I just had to finish the top platform. I prefer mechanics to carpentry 😂

Awesome Jay! Lots of options with your platform for sure. Id also look at other build platforms 80’s 60’s and even jeeps and Landrovers.

Is that a table I see hiding away? Looking good man

Picked up some new rubber for a screaming deal from a mud member out of the beach area this morning. This guy has built a bunch of awesome cruisers over the years. I got a ton of good advice on how to outfit my truck and am looking forward to...

Not as interesting as an intake manifold or new paint, but I was finally able to secure the parts need to complete my sleeping platform in the 80

Three coats of color

Good rainy day.. Time to finish something..

Gretchet went on her first highway run in 15 years! Hadn’t been on the road since back in college. Kids were pumped.

First coat of color on👀

One intake manifold removed

The drum doesn't need/want any lubrication, you want just the opposite - friction between the drum and the first layer/wrap of line. That is what anchors your line to the drum when using the winch.
