Lets see did some boneyard shopping these last few weeks.  Found a nice grill, a nice rear bumper off a blazer and brackets off a truck, and a power steering pump.  Now it no longer squeals going around turns. put the grill in it and realized I forgot to put the turn signals in it so had to fix that (had a blonde moment there).  Now for some reason the horn is not working and I have parking lights but no flashers at all right now for some reason.  Anyone have a clue what I did wrong there?  Also once I figure out what wires are for what I got a new CD player for it a small amp and some 8 inch full range boxes for music.

Well today I installed a Sony CD player today.  Also a set of 3.5" Sony speakers in the dash.  I started to wire it up for an amp as well.  I picked up a pair of euro taillights dirt cheep new and I think they look good.   I'll post pictures soon.

The wife wants me to put a 70's front on my truck.  Aside from core support, headlight wire harness and sheet metal is there anything else I'll need?

Decided to keep the 4 headlights and Christmas came a little early.  The FedEX driver droped this off today.

     Did you only get 2 rims at the boneyard ?  Those came out looking great, and I bet they will look great on your truck also.

The other 2 are also there along with the centers.  The kid I had do them is just starting out.  So I was happy to help him.

I went down to the hanger today thinking I might do something with the truck.  Instead I decided to take some pictures of of the new toolbox for you guys and put on a diffrent post and what all I have to put on the truck laying on my trailer mostly in boxes.  The hood I got from Chris and I love how it looks.  There is rockers, 4 rancho shocks, a new windshield whipper motor, a tinted rear window, all the door weather strips including quarter windows, smog pump (state says i need it), billet grill and headlight surrounds, and of course the brush guard

It's coming along.  Have you found any Scottsdale 10 emblems yet?

nope.  I checked on that one auction you posted and it was only for the one side.  One of these days I'll find the tailgate panel for it as well.
