I won’t be too far from White Tanks come June. There is some nice 4X4 trails over there to explore? I have Mtn bike up there and trail run many times but was not aware of any dirt roads/trails for 4X4 exploring. Let me know. Tom

Brought Ruftoys in to work yesterday. Glorious sunny day. Couldn’t resist the photo op with another’68, basically bone stock, that I just got done doing a carb rebuild and tie rod end replacement job on.
Interesting rear door. You have more info on it?Installed a rifle case for car storage. And if all hell breaks loose I will fill it with guns 🛠🗡

Because there's nothing to do, I've been busy. Cleared out miles of unused wiring under the dash, yes I admit some of it was mine, cleaned up wiring under the hood changed lube in the diffs, adjusted brakes, put hubcaps on that I took off three years ago after getting new tires, washed and waxed it. Now I need to go get it dirty!
@vegas702 tell me about the heater core coolant tubes you put on there- looks nice. I need to figure out what I'm going to do for mine!
1 off home brew from what I’ve been told. I guess the only OEM door like it is off the Bandeirante.
Wired and installed Universal Wiper Motors from Speedway Motors. $34 each and the bolt into existing holes.

A little body work, quarter panels and rear sil - using real steel for all the metal. Body shop very impressed with quality. This started as a small patch job, but we discovered lots of bondo. Then as it was all open, the rear fuel tank that was purchased 5+ years ago needed to go in as well.
Now might as well paint the truck — right?

Horn wasn't working, or was, but intermittently, so I pulled off the steering wheel cleaned off the points of contact but it still didn't do the trick. So I figured I would start from the source and work my way back. I had no idea there was even a horn relay until I checked the wiring diagram and then went into the hood and sure enough there it was. So I figured it could be a bad relay, but it also looked a little rusty and corroded so I figured let me just see if cleaning these connectors does the trick. Several minutes after sanding the points and removing the rust I plugged it back in and works like a charm every time I press the horn. Lesson learned, start with the easy solutions and work your way up as needed.
Oh and this came in today! New 2.5" HFS lift. I'll be putting this in over the weekend.

Put in a new radiator, it's a bit tall so I will have to put rubber stoppers to let the hood lift off the radiator cap.
Wow! No modification required?? I'm assuming you made your own harness?

Headed to the garage to take the old girl for a spin and found a friend on the wheel!
All good once caught and released in the garden.

I started the day sorting out mounting points for my center console and mounting some reverse lights that I still need to wire and ended the day with a nice drive.
Steering wheel restoration. Purchased a beat up wheel for $50 on eBay for parts. Could not find the small horn buttons and internal horn contacts for sale. Took it all apart. Cleaned, replaced parts, filled plastic cracks, painted and all ready to go. I have a left over horn button and some other parts and screws if anyone needs them.
