well, they had already been found, but now they are mine. The box of NOS door panels from Kaiserman has arrived. 2 of them have already made it up on the wall. note that none of them (save the blue backdoor) have crank holes or speaker holes cut out. I think that aspect might be a dealership-accomplished task.

I summon the electrical gurus again!

I think there's a clock wiring diagram in the link in my signature. how does yours compare to it? -
impressive!
-
it's got a lot of missing pieces.
-
I might splurge for an official alignment check. might be that the front tires are just a bit off front-to-back compared to the opposite side.

Westin still makes a generic truck bumper that looks like the old aftermarkets. true factory are only available used. car-part.com might be able to find a used one for you. bumpers in rusty states are likely to be... rusty.

good name

where to shop depends on what exactly you need. there's no one-stop shop. are you looking for factory style bumpers or aftermarket? if you haven't skimmed through it yet, this thread is a great read for new owners.

I mean, I got a whole truck too. well, most of a truck. actually more like just a shell of a truck... that I had to supply a front axle... and it was filled with trash. but it was cheap, so it's now mine (as soon as I go fetch it).

that's my NOS 'gate. I drove a total of 30 hours to fetch the item I was trading for it and then to go get the 'gate itself. no money exchanged hands, but man did I earn it.

and it looks pretty good on the wall I've been saving a spot for it.

road trip!!!

(I may or may not have purchased a truck to get it. )

Speedo gear help for bigger tires

I was able to swap the shafts from long to short.

weird.

caster doesn't change with a tire swap.

interesting. for whatever reason I can see it. I don't have enough brain cells available this morning to figure it out so I took a screen shot of it for ya.

almost forgot to mention I brought home #25 from Florida last week. some people bring home Disney souvenirs, I bring home MJ parts. because of my knee I had to rely on the seller to crawl underneath to unbolt it all plus do most of the effort loading it. but my system for loading/unloading (2x4 ramp-rails) works pretty great and we got 'er done.

ooooo, that's lookin' gooooooood...

brake dragging?
-
impressive!

major milestone this weekend! I knelt down. like, with full weight on my knees. I still feel it, but it's not the intense pain it was just a week ago. was a huge help to be able to crawl under that 86 and install the axle. although having not done much manual labor for the last month and then pulling a front axle and installing a front axle all by myself today has left me quite sore. ack!

sorry, that's 984 can't wait to see what all it used to have.
