I'm not sure HOW I missed the broken leaf when I changed my rotors and brakes. Going to get new leaf springs and shackles for both sides. Probably get shocks too.

I thought I got rid of my old truck so I didn't have to work on anything. I haven't stopped since I got rid of it

I didn't realize how rusted my frame was until looking at these pics. Might be POR-15'ing the frame sooner than I thought.

Shiny and detailed. Going to look awesome under the hood.

Back in the good ole days, some didn't even run with a hood half of the time. Nice looking engines are a pleasure to see - and show off. Those 671 blowers were too hard to hide anyways.

I am thinking about ordering a precut tint kit for the front windows on my truck. I am torn between 50% and 35%.
