I've been eying that hood strut kit for a while now but it's never made its way to the top of my list to get one. How do you like it?

Its nice, doesn't open quite as far as a stock set up but clears a lot of room for working.

Got the radio finished up with the cruiserhead mounting bracket. Nice little affordable piece.

Truck had a big gash on the passenger side door. Got it banged out, cleaned, and sanded Sprayed with some color match paint from automotive touchup.. Looks terrible from a 2 feet, ok from 10 feet, and great from 50 feet so im calling that a win. I got a local shop that's going to install the below decal so it really just needed to kinda blend in.

Coming along nicely Patrick, are you putting the claymore on the back? I always got a kick out of that.

Couple small things. New 80 series wiper arm and Koito H4 kit. Been DDing the past few weeks. I certainly keeps the lead foot in check

You're doing good work, Patrick. Keep it up!

New AC compressor, I assume you can change o rings and just swap old high/low to new one? I couldnt find where you can buy them new.

Cant thank @roadstr6, @Cirbo, and @angerhater enough for the help today. The boys helped with the City Racer carb, valve cover, and checked valve tolerances. It feels like a new truck.

Jim C air pump pulley, and new corner markers

Noticed "Chinese" stamped on the fuel filter so I swapped it and fuel line our out with new OEM. Seems to start much easier now, may just be in my head.

It's just cool enough here this time of year that my 2F trucks need a little choke for the first start. They start right up the rest of the day. You should hook up your choke cable or bring it by my place and I'll hook it up for you. Sorry I forgot to do it when we installed the carb.

Ill just have to find new help from now on.....

I got the choke cable routed but I am pretty sure its fouled up inside the house. It looks like it got crimped at some point so it doesn't slide in and out very easy.

Anyone got a lead on a, 99332-11250-78, OEM AC belt? Looks like they are NLA

I would just pick up a Gates or Napa equivalent.

IH8HeaterHose. Couldn't get temp up; new thermostat and 90% of the hoses replaced. Was real lucky the housing bolts came out clean. Got temp and no leaks, for now. Cant get the rear heater working but I did get to find out what coolant tastes like.

Also did diffs and transfer case fluids.

Couple of hoses were real close to giving out. That little one under the water pump was blown up like a ballon
