Ha! You're doing exactly the same thing I am doing this week.

I got my wood from Mar-K and it's Pecan.

It takes forever though, staining it with the spar... thinning down the first few coats and then putting pull strength coats on, each side.

It's been taking at least 12 hours for each coat to dry (the thinned coats are drying faster, of course).

I replaced the rockers on my pickup. They turned out good, but I'm glad I don't have to do that again!

replaced the mechanical fuel pump with an electronic one....because I thought I needed a new fuel pump. Turns out, I was just out of gas. Didnt realize how much gas would evaporate from not driving it for 2 months.

I patched up the extra holes in my high and installed it. Used rivnuts to so it can be removed as needed.

forestb · 07-16-2017, 09:37 PM

I replace my wiper blaids with a set of 12" Champion blades. I hade to buy a hole assembly and take it apart to use only the rubber. I hade to do a little cutting to make them slide in but they look like they will work well.

I also used a d-ring to lock my column shirt linkage in park (as a society measure). With the hood locked you can't take the truck out of park. I am also trying to figure out a way to lock my steering column inside the engine compartment.

I was told to drill a hole in the shaft than put a bar in it.When you turn it it will hit the inter fender.

Fortunately I have a steering knuckle on my column so I don't have to drill a hole.

**AngryPirate** · 07-16-2017, 10:08 PM

Ha! I think rvrfoot and I are on the same schedule.

I just got my wood installed this week/weekend myself.
