Started collecting parts to put my York compressor back on. I'll be sticking it on the drivers side since that is the only place I have room which means the stock oil fill is in the way.

Oil fill valve cover + timing cover plug.

On an unrelated note, I made a new sub box to hide my little 8" inside the front jump seat base (I use it flipped down as a console, never planned for anybody to sit there)


Image

Then a bunch of dust and sparks later I got this mocked up

Image

And meow. I just need to get some foam to fill in under the cover.

Burned up the rear end this morning on my way to KY. I was only about 120 miles out and managed to limp all the way home in front wheel drive after pulling the drive shaft. She locked up in front of my house when I went to back my trailer in the driveway. Ugh, so much for that toy I was going to buy today.

That little white spot in the middle is a rust hole in the diff cover.


Since I'll be rebuilding the rear now, I'm going to throw the stock non-functioning limited slip carrier in the trash and put a Detroit Truetrac in its place. It is $315 for a lsd rebuild kit but only $560 for the detroit.

Ordered a new R&P, overhaul kit, and an oem finned aluminum diff cover. About to order the TT.

Do you have much rust on your truck?

There is one spot on the inner rocker on each side where the side steps bolt on, but it is pretty clean underneath other than that. And the diff cover :x

I'm getting ready to put my engine in mine. How much room do you have with the manifold flipped between the turbo and heater box?

Well, that is a little more carnage than I was expecting.
