today I found the left front hubcap for my daily!
they are doing construction on a road I drive on to work, and it was extra rough yesterday. when I got to work I noticed the left front hubcap was missing:(
I drove home, scanning the route, but did not see it... but then today I drove even slower, and out of the corner of my eye noticed it next to a fence , laying upside down and full of rain water!!
so happy I don't have to bang out and paint up another one!

Finally got my steel smoothies to balance after trying 4 sets

Re: What did you do to your truck today part III
 

I used a Captainfab firewall bracket, CPP all in one master, Wilwood hydraulic clutch cylinder, McLeod hydraulic bearing. The chrome booster came from Tuckers Trucks either s10 or Nova base 7".
The 2466 HKR Hooker Compatition headers didn't work with arm and had to knock down driver side bellhouse to clear flange. This is why th hydraulic bearing over arm.
Stock pedal. Big feet can hit all 3 if you try!

Re: What did you do to your truck today part III
 

All the parts came with Captainfab kit. The firewall kit has a spot to drill for Wilwood and all hardware and rods came with kit.
