Nice!

 

Swapped out my Pioneer readio with the Sony one I had in my old '89. It's just a better radio ... the XPloud thingy makes the radio sound WAY better with my stock speakers, plus I get a hardly used radio with a USB plug, AUX and a remote!

I also cleaned my headlight sand gee wiz golly they look like new again! I used the Blue Magic stuff from Autozone ... I did the buffing then sealed them with their sealer stuff. Unfortunately the sealer leaked and spilled a bunch on my hood while I was buffing and didn't notice ... hopefully there is no damage to the paint :|

 

Well we were pretty slow at the shop today so the boss let me pull my truck in and tinker for a short bit. I resealed my leaky aluminum rims, and put on new Napa/Monroe Sensa-Track shocks on the rear. The old ones were in really bad shape and were leaking ... but MAN this ting rides better! I also washed my truck cause I was worried about that headlight sealer being on the paint for too long ... didnt to any damage, but we'll see what happens after a while.

 

That shouldn't do anything to the paint. I've spilled acetone on my old truck. Nothing happened.

 

Put a new lock cylinder in the driver's door on Christmas Eve. Then the handle broke when I was putting the new cylinder in, so I got a new door handle too. So for the time being, I have a two different keys for each different lock :|

 

When my sweetie asked me what I really wanted for Christmas, I said "Split the cost of painting my truck." Please note that she asked the question sitting in the new recliner I had just bought her

1988 K1500 68,000 original miles

 

So is it paint or no paint.? ? ?

 

Washed my truck yesterday, put it in my garage before it froze solid. Then went to put my new weather front on my grill.
Turns out it was a little more of an ordeal then I expected.

If my truck ever started to run hot? I wouldn't be able to take it off on the side of the road. So I'm getting openning flaps installed with snaps

 

There was a lot of dings in the nose and the left door took some work. The owner of the paint shop owed me a favor, so he gave me a good deal. Primer, base coat, four coats metalflake tint and four coats of clear.

 

That looks nice. I'm gonna repaint my 01 this spring and possibly put a flatbed on it.
