Got Driver Seat in along with carpet. I will eventually replace carpet with new. Cleaned drivers side ventilation.

The LMR paint is working great but the other panels are so many levels of faded I am going to start getting several cans on order. I am going to get new head liner material and a new carpet kit and do the entire interior at once. This will take a bit to save up for the materials and get them in order.

Thanks!!! Once I get thru Christmas and a few other things, The truck should start moving a lot quicker. I am hoping to order carpet soon along with Interior Paint and headliner material. Tomorrow I plan on trying to restore my dash pad.

I want to detail my Radiator box. Outside had grime. Cleaned it with a green scrub pad. Come out nice. Added son CLR to soak inside the tank.

With an air hose I was able to get the walls cleaned.

Looking better now.

Another job getting done. Cleaning debri out if cowl. Can cause rot leading to leaks in cab.

Water drains to side and behind fender. I will be replacing these fenders and will show drain holes later. No access to passenger side but when fender is off I can clean it then.

New gasket on.

New distributor installed. I was hoping my plug wires would arrive. I really wanted to get them installed with plenum off.

Rotor was toast. Should get 5 more horsepower.

No wonder truck did not want to run. Actually runs really good for condition it is in.

Got my Fuel Pump in from Rickauto. At first I was kind of disappointed. New one has a rubber float. Old one was brass.

Surprisingly the Fuel Tank is clean. Usually tanks have build up in them. I have cleaned them with vinegar and had them looking new again. It looks like rust but is just chemical build up. Vinegar will take a week or two to clean a tank.

A few good things come out by replacing Fuel Pump Assembly. Gas gauge works and this float is half full of gas. Causing gauge not to work correctly. May still have gauge issues but will see in time.

New assembly in. I suspect my Fuel Pressure Regulator is having some issues. I plan on replacing it any ways. I want complete Fuel System new. Will probably replace front pump soon as budget allows.

Fuel Gauge seems about right to fuel level or reading a little low. Maybe to keep you from running out.

Old assembly had a bad sock and float filled with gas.
