just a quick update.
aux tank is in. i'll try to get pics here but it will probably be a couple of weeks due to bad weather (snow predicted for tomorrow) and having to make a trip out of state for my dad who has pneumonia.
starting to purchase spares. so far, have power steering lines and complete duraspark ignition as my spare. next will be fuel pump, ps pump, brake master cylinder, and water pump. also on the list are radiator and heater hoses. probably will try to get a set of wheel bearings and wheel cylinders as well. i'm hoping that will just about do it. i'd rather carry a few spares i probably won't need than have to wait someplace while a garage orders them in. should have less than $300 spent for the spares, using ebay pricing and the local parts places.
also getting a few tools together. have rechargeable drill, and saw (they use the same battery and recharger), and multi tool. have most everything else in tools already.
so, that's it so far. still need to get the cb installed and maybe another set of lights on top. not sure about the lights yet. and need to get the bed organizer cut and installed, after pics of the aux tank are done.
forgot: got the 4.56 gears in and detroit in the back. WOW! what a difference in driveability! love it!
more in a few weeks hopefully!
