I believe they are from Finnland and they specialize in winter tires. Supposed to be the best non-studded winter tire available.

I got my wire harness ready to go through the firewall this morning, but I think I might have the stomach flue

  The wiring on my TPI set up gives me that quesy feeling too. Hang in there, you have made great progress so far.
  I'm looking forward reading about your truck as the project continues.

Finally got the radiator fans and shroud one plus a new water pump. the old one was squeeeelin.. we all know that is one of the first signs of bad bearings. it ook it out and the old pump had no drag at all. Ran the old man through a few heat cycles and so far no leaks first try...well not the first time so I guess that counts for something. Brock.. gonna check out your progress on that TPI.

That is correct!  At least according to the tire shop.

Dropped the gas tank to install a new one
 
Old one is leaking and has some problem where if you run it of of gas you have to put over 10 gallons in to get it to draw gas again

Also installed new stock grill to replace tube grill

Got the body bushings and  4 brand new door hinges and a new speedo cable in the mail too

Only took 3 trips to the hardware store to get the grill installed

And had to run a thread cutting die down on the tank strap bolts to get the threads clean enough to remove the bolt

Glad I just dropped the hanger and all out to begin with

Discovered that the o ring around the sender was leaking
And the filler tube is a poorly fitting radiatior hose

took my 91 v3500 crew cab on a 200 mile trip one way with a 4 wheeler in the back to my uncles house. i delivered the 4 wheeler to mineral va (where we had the earthquake at a couple years ago). last year i had a run in with a local not real bad but they aint to fond on Yankees. but this time showing up in the crew cab and 4 wheeler in the back with my family and luggage in the front wearing camo. i pulled up to a stop light next to a guy in a light dump truck, i opened my door and dumped my spit cup and just happened to look up at the guy right about the same time my wife was looking at what i saw. the guy was watching me then he gives me a nod of approval and spits into his cup. me and the wife lost it and i told her i think they have accepted me as one of their own and i blend in real good

Irish..the hills really do have eyes! You just met them. But sounds like HOME to me! 

Today I drove all over east Va looking for tie down anchors to load one of my bikes (650lbs). Found some track style ones with a 2200lb break weight and 1200lb working weight. The are in with some nutserts so I can re!move them whenever even though they are low profile and I doubt I will ever need to take them out!

Checked the oil in my 84... crap, it went through a quart in 400 miles, dipstick is milky white and the radiator is down.  Guess I need to step up the search for a replacement power plant.
