Not much different, LOL
 
My list is done except for trimming bumpstops this weekend at the badlands and whatever rears its ugly head this weekend.

Besides that the truck has appt next week for tinted windows and hopefully will get herc in the bed before we go.

Heres a sneak peak of the truck and trailer.

Been there, done that. By the way, pop rivets keep things together for the most part, right up to trying to pass CA evap emissions check.

A bit of fiberglass mat and JB Weld should fix that. Except for the inconvenience of having to drop the tank to prep the surface for decent adhesion.
 
Garage that did it is owned by a friend of 40 years, they patched it.
He told me that he woke up a 4am yesterday thinking about the possibility of it leaking on the trail -said to himself we can't do that.
Ordered a new tank when he got to work,new tank as well as hoses are installed.
 
New to me motor is in. Just topped it off with coolant and ran it for a while. We have a runner. Just need to button up the front clip.
