    Picked up some power '97up doors. Not sure at this point how I'm going to use them... parts donors for the 1-piece glass, regulator, and trim? Or will I change out the striker and put the late doors on the truck? One thing I'm unsure of is if the early interior panels can be mounted onto the late door...?

    Starting the swap at this time was not really my intent, but the drivetrain really needed to come out for the rust repairs... I let the excitement get to me.

    Very nice. I did this on the passenger door some years back; good write-up.

    Got the last puzzle piece fitted for the big patch piece.

    Both inner pieces are in! Didn't suffer too much distortion from the welding; it all fits beautifully!!
  9. A-man930
    Yes, it's progress. Hopefully I'll have the other side in place tomorrow. I may have intentionally done the passenger side first so I wouldn't have to look at the crappy-er welds every time I got in the truck

    Finally caught the right combination of weather, time, and motivation to jump back on the rockers;

    Got a bit of work done on the Raybuck XJ pans. Welding 18ga is a trip.

    What a tease.

    Well thanks! It's definitely my first rodeo.

    Thanks!! It is ridiculously loud; I took out the earplugs for a brief moment and WOW. Its almost like I'm jackhammering on a giant metal can!

    Got this little gem from my Matco guy: And it works wonders! That's all I was able to knock out today, but man I'm feeling better about it already!

    How have you liked your BWE Comp Mount?

      What’s up bud 

      ever since I’ve gotten it, I haven’t had the time to install it, life got in the way and everything is on standby unless it’s really needed to be fixed...

      Understood.  Thanks for the reply!

    I guess I always figured that the low pressure cutout switch handled the compressor cycling??

    I installed the same "different" core in my '90 and have always wondered why the A/C never has gotten cold again... not saying that you'll for sure have the same problem, but it wouldn't surprise me. I happen to have my HVAC box removed for some other repairs; I'd love to get a hold of an OE-type design.
  21. A-man930
    Now things are getting pretty well beyond my comfort zone, but I'm still gonna press on! The trans tunnel side moved pretty significantly when I completed the cut on that side; here's hoping my bracing is sufficient and wasn't too late. I tried to limit the number of complex curves and corners that I would have to re-create and here's what I ended up with.
  22. A-man930
    Not with a brush. I'll probably end up using some kind of aerosol with a diffuser wand and semi-regularly get a dose of fluid film up in there. I'll also probably try the pool noodle in the fender trick to keep water from blatantly spraying up in that area.
  23. A-man930
    I'm on the verge of getting somewhat discouraged; I keep finding more rust! I decided to make a few access holes for inspection/clean-out on the driver's side. The first picture is from inside the cab just below the corner of the windshield (you can also see I trimmed back where the rust had bubbled through the seam sealer) The second picture is from the outside, just below where the cowling meets the A-pillar. ( yes, I broke through into the cowl a bit ) Its not pretty in here. I can't trace where the water would travel from the windshield. Instead, I think the cause is a combination of running around with no inner fender liners and condensation. The most frustrating part is where the toe board (firewall?) sandwiches against the "support plate" for the brake booster and steering column... water has been creeping into here for a long time and has made it's mark. There are so many curves and contours... I don't know how I'm going to fix/replace this.

    On another note, anyone know what this bolt is for?? (circled in yellow) There's another one on the other side.
  25. A-man930
    Well it doesn't look as bad as I had feared. Any thoughts on where the water is coming from?
