I think the definition of minor work is very broad.

I'm split on the zerks...being ones that don't have them last a decade or more and ones with are about the same if you get the ones with the zerk on the end cap and not the middle of the cross...it's definitely a mental check knowing, I put grease in that I should be ok vs is that ujoint gonna...

on concrete I have had good luck with cheap cat litter...the clay stuff with no clumps or stinky cat smelly...dig it in with my boots and let it sit there for a bit...usually comes out pretty good.

Modern art right!! Gotta sand off the top of the weld dabs then put a nice bead down the entire stitch...I think we'll put seam sealer over all of them to dress it up nice...I'll get to welding more tomorrow!!

The new part I made was painted early this morning and stitched in this afternoon...nice having a heated place to do that since it is pretty cold out...I'm going to put the door back on after I do just a few spots to hold the outer rocker in place to make sure everything lines up...having the...

Well...the passenger side is a little worse than the drivers side was...cut the mount and side out for the seat belt...the entire side was rusty about 5 inches up...so out it came...I build the replacement tomorrow from a new peice of steel I got today...I'm getting pretty good at fabricating...

I've done something similar to that but with a big pry bar stuck into the bolt and center bolt to keep it from twisting..I don't have any straight bolts in my kit and it's a snap on...I don't think the blue gas is gonna do much since it doesn't get that hot...makes you feel better though with it...

Do the turn signals at least light up at all? Get new flash relays...I like the heavy duty ones...they do click louder but will hold more lights without flash timing being off..all of mine were bad..I have a stock under dash harness that if you need help identifying stuff I can take pics of it...

When I swapped mine out I remember that part looking wrong...just flip the switch around and it'll work...take it off the metal bracket and turn it the way it should be. Sent from my SM-G975U using Tapatalk

There's a good bit of info on the scepter tanks on here if you search them up!! Some can be very old though and can separate where they come together over time.

Perfect!! If you already have the 140 you're set!! Is it set up for gas? I learned on one of those, work very well...I am just cheap didn't want to spend the extra money on that...I found the body parts I got were oversized to cut to fit whatever you need to replace so you can practice...

I have 4 of those tanks that I bought at local swap meets, there is a holder that bolts to the floor to hold it in place with a small strap going over top. I have seen a few online in some surplus stores online too. They can be very old though so if you want to put fuel in there they better be...

If that's all the rust you have you're in good shape!! Looks like an inner rocker and outer,,,easy peasy...as far as the door goes both of mine have that too...dang guys back into stuff with it open...if you take the door off you can dolley hammer that out pretty easy...there's plenty of room...

Interesting video...I wonder if when it was welded together it warped? I hate to take the chance but when you bolt it up will the crank bolts and TC bolts being there is 6 pull it straight again? Possibly measure the drop on the ring gear and make sure it is the same all the way around...that...

Great!! So you replaced the alternator and now it doesn't flash anymore...can't beat that! Probably had a bad diode in there!

I think we can see the end of the tunnel soon...getting the passenger side floor fit and painted is a great feeling...I have a heated gym so I just put down a pallet with plastic to paint on...to cold to paint otherwise...this is our second quart of por-15...we use a bunch wherever we can...weld...

Have you charged the new batteries you put in? I know it sounds silly but I always do...a nice low 2-6 amp for a few days just to make sure they're completely topped off...got the OCD a little...are the battery cables and ends in good shape? Like not crushed together and such. Also is the light...

If I remember right that is the capacitor that will knock down voltage spikes on the passenger side alternator...I don't think that's much of an issue unless you still have the military radio in the truck still...should lower radio interference. Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk

I think I have a grasp of what you're going through since I just did the same thing with alternators and belts...you can get the belts to tight as in they will wipe out the bearing in the new alternators and possibly wear out the pulley grooves...there is a belt gauge out there for tightness...
