slipped in a little more truck time between jobs.
I needed to get a bunch of holes on the bed filled where the auxiliary tanks were mounted. A bit tedious, but got it done.
I also need to clean up this area inside the bed where the side filler was fabbed. I wish i would have done this myself. Would have been much cleaner to just make a nice box with tabs at the bottom.
A slurry of filler and welding rod. Not too pretty. I'll see what I can do. Never know, might get aggravated and cut the damn thing out. Start over??
I also managed to get all the fluids replenished in the motor, frt/rr axle, trans and transfer case. I decided to go with 75/90 Synthetic for axles and trans/transfer case. Sounds like many people are using this stuff with good results. It must have been a long time since I replenished all the fluids in one of my vehicles because I nearly blacked out after looking at the receipt. This stuff must be made out of an exotic mixture of refined gold. Oh well, it's only money right.
So, bed is almost ready for body shop and motor is almost ready for a startup.
