I am shure you will be able to get no 5 done, but don't start to early or 1 to 4 will take a bit longer.
I may have to practice #5 tonight with the day im having!

Christmas in July!
Big week for me, traded out my disintegrating 4 speed for a fresh rebuilt one.

Got my gal some new heels.

My Ranger Torque Splitter came in.
And scored an early 60's Bezel!
Oh, and completely emptied my wallet in the process!

I went to my Electrician, and he's 90% done, and decides to take a vacation for another week...
The last 3 weeks has given me an opportunity to post this week. Sand blasted, sanded, wet sanded and yes this week we painted her and are putting her back together. Feel free to read my build thread.

What kind of mirrors are those on your rig?

Practicing for retirement
Put in a new Saginaw power steering gear box, which falls into that "you don't know what you got 'til it's gone" category. It's nice to have a tight box again (careful now)! Also added a spreader bar to the front shackles and installed new poly bushings and then went to the tire store and had the toe-in checked/set. The problem? It drives so nice now my wife is driving it daily.
You need to reverse your order of doing things. I.E. 5-1 vice 1-5. Setting your prioritys!
Damn that looks good!

Thanks! As far as the mirrors, I haven't got a clue, they were on the rig when I bought it. Some sort of aftermarket I suspect, though I have seen photos of other 40's sporting them. If they weren't so stable they'd be gone. They swivel back but are very stiff, I suspect they'd do some damage to my doors if I met up with a tree.
I had a set exactly like those on my '80 Hilux 4x4.

Re-wired my marker lights and license plate following a sill replacement and repainted of the rear end. Going to enjoy her for a few weeks before moving forward with the paint project to the rest of the truck.
