So far, it seems like less vibration overall, but I feel a pulsing vibration that I think is likely a u-joint going dry.

I think it is safe to say that the suspension is worn out after hauling this load. 2000 lb of hay and I didn't feel comfortable going over 40 mph on straight sections. So, I'll need to order some new springs and shocks soon.
Looks good doing it though!
A little refresh on the interior today. Rebuilt factory dash pad from Corbin Custom Upholstery. I also dug up the correct dash emblem from the parts hoard.
I like the cupholders
Damn! That looks nice.

So is that a redone original dash pad?
Yes, the only difference after it is installed is the lack of speaker holes.
My ocd doesn't like those rusty screws, LOL.
I am not OCD and I was thinking the same thing
It's WA at least the screws aren't moldy with mushrooms
Nothing a sharpie can't fix.
Local guy makes them. They don't work for cans or round bottles, but they are a perfect fit for the square tea bottles my wife likes. I plan to modify them to work with cans better by installing an insert.

The blower motor was not working reliably. I put a jumper wire from the blower motor mounting screw to the firewall when I installed the AC delete housing and the screw was loose this afternoon. Tightening that alone didn't fix it so I used a jumper to the negative battery part and confirmed it was still a ground issue. So I just had to grind off a small amount of paint at the ground connection to the firewalland now it is up and running again.
I like the paint scheme on that thing.
How you feeling?
