Much nicer than the Kenwoods I paid $400 for as a teenager

Your truck looks great.
Back in 1989 I paid $450 for my Alpine CD player with the Benzie box (anyone remember those).

Ordered a bunch of random stuff.  Window tint kit, a Streamlight Stinger to hard wire in, a Streamlight Waypoint because every vehicle I own has a spot light, random small interior parts, and some exhaust pipe to bend for the fuel fillers.

were those the anti theft things? I use 8 track tapes for my garage stereo(rather my dads garage).

When i was a young teen cassetts were the big thing, 8 track was just getting phased out, although i have used plenty.

Those wheels came out great.

The Benzie box stereo came before the removable face plate stereo.
With the  Benzie box the whole radio was removable.
Most people would remove the radio from the dash when not in use and hide it under the seat or put it in the trunk.
It didn't take thief's long to figure this out.
Here is a picture I found online of the Alpine 7903 like I owned years ago.

I had a blaupunkt pull out like that

Got brakes all the way around and manual locking hubs today. Also ran all of the brake lines, undercoated the cab, ran fuel lines to the drivers side tank, replaced the selector valve, and fully installed 1 of 7 shocks. I need bolts for the rest.

Auto parts store gave me two different colored calipers. OCD is in full swing.

Why on Earth would the return connectors on the selector valve be 5/16's when the return lines are 1/4"? That caused a lot of confusion for several hours.

All the return lines on my truck were 5/16", the vent lines were 1/4".

At least you can stretch 1/4" over 5/16", but it is much harder to properly clamp 5/16" to 1/4".
