As usual I beat old blue like a red-headed ford on the way home from duty today... But I'm not always mean I picked up some new vaccum lines, antifreeze, water pump ESC sensor and Lucas zinc additive for the old man as well. Told him to rest for the night because in the morning after we pick up a new toy( gsxr 750 engine) I'm gonna check on his ' toe' condition and fix those dry rotted vacuum lines. I hope he likes it.

I sprung a leak this morning on my way to work. So this evening I raced home before I ran out of coolant lol. Yanked the radiator out to send it out to be redone on Monday morning. Side tank was bleeding pretty good.

Bought some goodies for the truck to arrive for Xmas for my wife. The truck is technically hers but I enjoy the wrenching and some cruising. New center speaker to test if the original radio works along with a new rearview mirror and some gmc floor mats! More pics when they arrive and are installed!

Drove it for the first time after the NV3500 swap
Woo hoo!

Took it for a drive before we re installed the dash and gauges ( gotta pull the gauge cluster to get to the clutch and brake pedal out)
And ran outta gas .....

Spent 20 mins freezing in the rain putting a new alternator in..the original one lasted until yesterday and would have been longer if I knew the. Voltage sensing wire needed a diode..yay!

Put the radiator back in and she's all good to go. Drove her this afternoon. A week in my mom's tahoe and I remember how much I love my truck better lol. After all my truck is my DD, it's the only 1 out of our 4 vehicles total I wanna drive.

Using the 350. Haven't done it yet, been busy as a one armed paper hanger moving, & setting up my shop. Only 200' across the yard, but still a lot of work. Completely cleaned, & painted the inside of the new shop. Then moved all the tools, equipment, & crap. Then cleaned & painted the inside of the old shop. Spent the last almost 2 weeks setting up / wiring the compressor, & waste oil furnace.
Also put new rear springs, new front shackles, & bushings, plus new shocks, coil overs in the rear on my 87. Using it for plowing for now.

The speaker, rearview mirror and floor mats I ordered showed up yesterday! Time to put a bow on the box and prep it for Xmas then install at that point!

Finally got around to mounting the radiator and fans properly. Been 3 years and I'm surprised I Hagen ruined my radiator due to vibration. Plan on finnishing it tomorrow.
