The ol lady surprised me with an early Christmas present! This dope anvil from a talented craftsman who makes really sweet cb fuel caps. Crafty B on insta. It's completely fitting!

The lmc grill and bezels are also nice
Lookin good Dan. The hood ornament is cool!
Dakota dash and new dash pad look good. Still fartin around with colors but I have no oil psi with the stock sender. The fuel sender is also not responding. It sweeps up to just above half where it should be then back to empty. Wtf
Nice hood ornament!

The Honda 70 on the shelf still drives me nuts! Ship that forker to me already!
Not a chance lol
I need that same lmc grille stuff since I jacked mine up whacking a cow in the head a few weeks ago.
Quality is really nice
No good pics tonight. Just more wiring torture. Fuel guage in the dakota dash will sweep and show level but not stay there. Tried running a new ground and another chassis ground. I'm not sure if it needs a separate ground from the pump
Changed the oil sender back out to the proper dakota unit. So now it stays at 20 psi when running and doesn't really move
Added another gallon of amsoil at and I'm still a couple f*ckin qrs low! So I gotta hope to find it local or equivalent bc I hate waiting!
Most of the parts are in for the disc brake conversion.
Engine is a little rough I suspect one of the og coils is on the way out so it's a bit rich.
But I glued the rv mirror back on!

So far it seems the spectra premium fuel sender is not operating correctly. The pump turns on but it's not grounding. 40ohm key off. 105ohm key on. Ordered another sender this time an airtex unit that I'll swap the ep381 pump into and bench test with the digital dash control before installing.II've tried all combinations of chassis ground, dedicated ground, no ground (pump still turns on without the ground hooked) I've never heard of this!
As for the rest of the dash, the bim (bus interface module) seems to be pulling the Tach and temp signals but still says no bin detected. I called and they blamed the obd2/can for not having signal. I verified it does so I'll have to call them back about that but it's minor. The check engine light is staying on even after the codes are cleared. (the vss wasn't plugged in all the way) tcm is requesting illumination.
These tcm pins are known to come loose and unseated so I'll have to check them.
Anyways, the parts are all in for the rear disc conversion on the d70 so I'll get started on that so I can drive it and see if it's operating/shifting properly.

Fit a bellows I cut off a stock 6.0 to better align the intake/filter between the battery and coolant tank.
So if you know me I set out do do something and it turns into another project. This time one that was on the list. I wanted to just finish installing the vent shades. So the p/ō claimed the reg would blow the fuse when it was plugged in but it turns out the wires were bad. New reg n we good with some janky ends I made for now till I do a relay upgrade.
Dig these lpw covers. Brake conversion under way
nice cover .
my 2wd got a TA cover .

I love the look of the old school girdles!nice cover .

Been a long 15 hour day. Got a lot done after the last two days of scratching my ass with this dash and electrical bs.
Used Kurt's d70 disc conversion with stock 3/4 ton calipers for now. Come clearances were made for the inboard pad to bracket fitment and some shaving of the outer corners and caliper to fit the 16" steelies. Overall fit is nice.
Replaced the p/ō crap 2" aluminum spacers with some good hub centric, billet steel spacers. All torqued to 120lbft.

Bendix pads
Never had them honestly what do you like? I thought they looked well made and the piston side is thicker by an 1/8" or soBendix pads
