Crawled under the truck today and hooked up the emergency brake cable and hardware back together from when I removed them so I could install a 2.5" lift kit a few months ago. Also removed the old hose that goes from the gas tank feed line to the gas line on the frame rail. Then removed the rubber gas line from the hard line to the fuel pump and replaced it with a new line and fuel filter. Dumped a few ounces of octane booster and some Heet into the tank that had about five gallons of gas in it and then added another five gallons of premium gas. Now the truck is ready to run.
Pulled out the seat so I could lay on the floor and do some adjustments under the dash with the master cylinder rod and also remove the emergency brake assembly so it can be cleaned up.
It has been snowing here so I was thinking about bolting on a spare set of fenders and hood so I can park it in the driveway while the painting is going on in the garage. I would only put maybe three bolts on each fender, no inner fenders are needed for that and the hood with hinges also bolted on.
