I don't see a Hot Wrench, I'm impressed!I'm loving how cheap the parts are and how easy it is to work on.
Got a good portion of it ripped apart and a bunch of the new parts came today, still have a bunch more to get. I'm replacing the entire front end and updating it a little, going with a newer year and better lights. Figure I'll have $700 in parts and it'll look like a new truck.

See the bottle with the pink liquid in front of the truck? That's homemade penetrating fluid, 50/50 acetone/AT transmission fluid. Works better than anything I've ever used.I don't see a Hot Wrench, I'm impressed!
Brilliant. Chemist approves. Try mineral spirit in place of acetone; a little less "grabby"See the bottle with the pink liquid in front of the truck? That's homemade penetrating fluid, 50/50 acetone/AT transmission fluid. Works better than anything I've ever used.
The truck should look similar to this when I'm done, except it'll be charcoal gray in color on top and black bedliner from the lower body line down.

That's the front end and headlights I have on order.
While we are fucking trucks can we also fuck the ones with the wheel wells encroaching on the bed?
Will do! Maybe it won't separate after a while like the acetone does.
I think the acetone mix separates because it takes in humidity. Some mineral spirit (or toluene, better if you can source it, CA hardware stores stopped carrying it) in the mix ought to slow that separation.
Just level the whole farm and lower it... Makes way more senseSee the bottle with the pink liquid in front of the truck? That's homemade penetrating fluid, 50/50 acetone/AT transmission fluid. Works better than anything I've ever used.

LOL while most of us simply chuckle over this I have no doubt 420God could do this. Probably in less time than it would take most mere mortals to think about it.
My money says he's done already.

You're some kinda alien or something - without ziplock's & sharpies I'll just poke any old bolt into an unsuspecting threaded hole.This is how I keep my hardware. Somehow I can remember where every single bolt/nut goes from everyone of my projects.

Stop it. You're making the rest of us type A's look bad.I feel guilty if I don't have something to show for the day.
I have a bucket that looks like that...all the extras from the stuff I've worked on. .there's always extras.I feel guilty if I don't have something to show for the day.
Today after work I got a little more of the truck apart. I should be able to start cleaning it up and piecing it back together now.

ikr, hub always has 1/2 a dozen nut/bolts/hardware left over after an engine rebuild and he writes on cardboard pushes them through too! So he has like cardboard mats layer by layer yet every time there's extras and once or twice to few!Stop it. You're making the rest of us type A's look bad.
