I am hoping to make this a sticky if everyone is on board. Just a place to post what you did to your truck today. Even if you just drove it to the store - let us know how it ran.

I'll get it started -

Drove the truck to Lowes to get some lumber for a new crawl space door. Made me glad that I didn't buy a short bed (which was what I was looking for originally). 12 foot board barely stuck bast the tailgate. Got the door done and mama is happy!

Wondering how I am going to transport a 12 ft ladder in a short bed.

Woke up at 4:30 am and went out and completed my plow route. Then went home and took my plow off so I could go to work by 7:30. Drove 20 miles to work and used it to haul a small mold to a different shop because all the company trucks are out of state. Left work at 4:30 and drove home... Then watched married with children for a couple hours.

Yeah... I know it's sunday

A little TV Land Marathon and I'm content!

and as far as the ladder goes, just throw something heavy on the front of it and you'll be fine. I've driven with floppy 16' peices of sheet metal hanging out the back of mine many times with no problem

looked in the glove box and found out that my truck had a 3.73 limited slip, which was awesome

Rewired head light harness and added a relay so now when I flip on my brights, low beam will stay on, also added Sylvania Silver Star Ultra 9005 – 9006
I’ll have this together today.

Tomorrow I’ll drop steering linkage. Good thing about Auto Zone, parts have a warranty for life can’t beat it.
