Re: What did you do with your truck today, Part 3

We have come a long way, haveen't we?
a run of the mill truck engine from a stocker has aluminum heads, plastic intake, a coil for each cylinder, and a computer to get the fuel mixture and timing correct while shifting the transmission and supplying signals to run the electronic gauges.
Then it troubleshoots the engine and tells you what's wrong!!

It's a 102 degrees today.
I'm going to let the truck rest today and drive the corvette. It will be cooler this weekend.
I gotta finish the air in the truck.
The biggest problem is the glove box door.
The door drops down right where I put the louvers for the air conditioner, so i'm going to make some slides that slide the door back towards the passenger's knees.
That way, the air will look good, and I don;t lose any functionality with the truck.
I found some slides for an aircraft ice bucket that are ball bearing, so I'm going to use those.
