Workin' on the truck!

So, we've been working on the truck a lot this summer, but it's been awhile since I've documented what we've done, and I've gotta say, I'm pretty behind.

I won't blog about everything today, but here's a little bit:

Here's the old crank shaft,

the old pistons,

and, well, everything else.

It took a good hour and a half to take the engine apart, but it was worth; one step closer to putting it back together, ha ha!

Those are just a few pictures. I mainly want to focus on the new stuff:

Here are the polyurethane suspension body bushings.

The "million-mile" air filter parts.

Long time, no blog..

It's been awhile since I've updated this blog, but I will be shortly. I've got tons of updates on the truck to document, so be prepared to see a transformation on it.

I have one thing to say; THANK GOD SUMMER IS JUST ABOUT HERE! No more snow! (Knock on wood, ha ha).
