Documenting the transformation from the purchase of this leaking train wreck. Creating a nice daily/off-road truck.

Push button starter?
Yeah the guy before me installed one. You still need to turn the key “on” and then push the button. Not my favorite but I don’t know how to get it back to keyed ignition.

Probably just need to put the right wire back on the starter.

Tailgate was stuck. It’s was nightmare to get to open. I had to grind down the side latch areas of the truck to get it to close. You still have to pull the two bars on the inside to get the tailgate to open. The latch doesn’t work properly. I just haven’t ordered the parts to fix it. Cleaned the entire inside, all that dirt is gone now. Window crank still works but I need take off that film and old “tint”
Holy S.... is that tailgate heavy.

For shits my old c10’s... 77 and 83.
ORD steering stabilizer was installed today:
Took a walk around after a drive today. Man not having the tranny hump creates an uncomfortable ride. That heat blowing in your face is just too much.
Anyway,
Took the family for a ride today. My daughter (who is 3) was riding shotgun on my wife’s lap with the boys in back. My daughters’ face as I let it rip down the street was priceless, ear to ear grin or fright, either way I’ll take it....
Forgot a of couple things in the video, front and rear drive lines... don’t judge the license plate block off. It adds character..
