Took a day trip yesterday, over 300 miles round trip. Never thought about it.
What did you do with your 60 this weekend?

Looks just about like mine tho mine is a tad rough around the edges and as I read your explanation about the tints I'm realizing that my windshield is done too.
Heard Roundup was a good time and saw pixs on Facebook as well. And heard there were only about six 60's there. ;(
I've had limo black tint on all the rear windows since I bought the car 30 years ago (was on it when I bought it). Front 2 windows have no tint. During the day the black tint is fine & definitely keeps the inside cooler & keeps the interior plastic parts from getting cracked by UV.
Backing up at night is another story. Can't see jack. But after replacing the rear backup lights with Cree LEDs, backing up at night is doable.

Wheeled it. Blew my high pressure PS line repeatedly at inopurtune times. Time for Aeroquip
I got covered in dirt and rust while those guys kept me from injuring myself.
As if I needed another reason to be in love with this old truck...it sure is prettier to look at now.

Went to the Roundup

Stopped in at @cruiseroutfit to grab some free wheel hub assembly bolts that I snapped while doing my knuckle rebuild. Was a nice excuse for me to stop by while in Salt Lake City and see their setup.
I think I've heard this before in some song, first recorded in the year before I was born - "How much is that doggie in the window?"
Great pictures! Your weekend with your 60 looked like a lot more fun then mine....
.....the weekend started out good, but that is my nervous St Patrick's Day look, in anticipation of the front end tearing apart we did the next day in the first 2 photos! Replacing entire cooling system and adding factory AC. Definitely an intimidating job for us!
In preparation of the new suspension installation coming up, I ordered some new u-joints from @reevesci for the rear drive shaft.
I don't believe the rear u-joints have been touched since the factory and new lifts seem to cause issues in this department so I am going to try and be proactive about it. Also sprayed down all the shackle and u-bolts with deep creep penetrant. Hoping I wont need to cut them off.
As for other parts for the lift, do most people use the Man-A-Fre sway bar link extensions? Seems like the SOR ones are more expensive and not any better. Any opinions on that?

Well, I did this last night...
Installed a new master cylinder after noticing a slight sinking of the brake pedal when I applied very light pressure. I had a solid pedal, which felt good, I thought...
WOW, what a difference a new MC made - super solid pedal and a it seems to stop better too.
I took the old MC, which appears to be the original one apart. I was like mud inside the bore! I have flushed the brakes several times, and reservoir was clean, but inside was dirty.
Sorry, no pics

I bought the Man-A-Fre sway bar link extensions - haven't installed them yet but they are very good quality.In preparation of the new suspension installation coming up, I ordered some new u-joints from @reevesci for the rear drive shaft.
