Did the quick disconnect come for the truck or did you have to modify something to work. Someone torched my swaybar off before I got my M1009. I've really never noticed it missing but if I do replace it I would like a quick disconnect setup.

Nice pad. Don't know if I would trust that site though.

Brought up shoes and sunglasses

Got the grill scuffed up with scotch brite. Put on a coat of primer. The front end and bumpers are going to be Satin black and the rest will be 383.

I promise I wasn't trying to mislead you. A guy a learned a lot about mechanic work from jumped my crap every time I would call it a flywheel. He always said flywheels are on manuals and automatics have flexplates. Don't know if it's true or not but it stuck lol.

Yes and a bad flexplate can chew up starters as well. I went through 3 starters before I finally replaced my flexplate.

Rear most are in, passenger side is complete, front most are now complete. Just have the three on the driver side left two under the passenger area and one up by the rear wheel well.

Body mounts have had me held up for a bit. The two front cups that contact the body were pretty rusted out on the front so I ordered some new ones from classicindustries. I've got 7 out of 10 done so far. I have been taking my sweet time with them because I really don't want to have to cut the...

You have a lot of work ahead but for some reason these old trucks are fun to work on. Stubborn at times but rewarding in the end.

Got the first tire mounted. The other wheel is still in the paint process. These are some decent looking AT tires.

Got another wheel and tire broke down today. Time to get this one sanded and painted. Got the new tires on the way.

No rush at all. I'm just now wrapping up the back end. Still have much to do before mine is mobile again.

Would be amazing for Alabama Summers though. It's been mid to high 90's down here for the last two months with humidity at 60 plus percent most days

Success got the two rear most body mount bushings installed. The rear carriage bolts were 5-1/4 long, my local Ace Hardware had 5 or 6 inch. I went with the 6 inch which seems to work fine. The bumper bracket bolts were pretty pitted as well so I grabbed some new grade 8 bolts for those as well.

I wanted to do an Aluminium radiator until reading this thread. Mine currently still works it just looks like it's been used to clear some tree limbs with. The fins a very mangled on it. Now I'm not real sure what I want to do.

Yes fuel tank is still out. I'm getting the rears done before the tank goes back in. They were all a bit stuck but they all came loose except the two in the far rear. I'll pick up some new bolts tomorrow and get back at it. After I finally got the rears out I realised my phone fell out of my...

Glad I don't have a torch or I probably would have tried to melt the bolts out. I used a cutting wheel and cut the heads off till they were even with the shaft. The hammered them out. I'm hoping the rest aren't as bad. I'm putting it on hold till I get some replacement hardware Monday.

Been working on body mount bushings today. Everyone talks about how you have to be careful with the captured nuts on the 4 under the cab area. No one talks about how the rears are an absolute pain in the....... I have spent the last 5 hours just trying to get the bolts in the rear out. They were...

Much better. That's actually worth it.

Points for getting close. Isn't that the same as a participation trophy. :p
