Cleaned the throttle body.



Also used some deep creep to lubricate the throttle cables from the TBody down to the accelerator pedal.

Crawled under to take a look at the drive shafts, and confirmed that I still have the old style non-serviceable u joints. I need to tackle that soon.

Installed a car seat base and brought my 4 day old infant son home from the hospital. Longest, slowest, and most stressful drive of my life!

Yeah, same for me on my first, but by the time the 3rd came, I just sped home...they don't care.

Today I picked up the new oil pressure sender. In a few minutes I will be finding the correct plumbing so I can mount another pressure sender so I can install my pressure gauge. I'll let ya'll know what is needed for the job.

You'r pictures are too small to see. Maybe you can enlarge them some?

Wash and Waxed. Tried to use some rubbing compound to remove some year old trail rash. Didn't work the way I was hoped.

Tore the 98 down and ordered all the parts. Pm on the P38. Washed the 97. Opened the pool, and then found a 1958 107 that just needs some TLC. Comes with a full "parts" truck. I need a bigger garage!

Bringing this back from it's coma.
Mounted and balance matching spare. Found 3 patches on old spare, no wonder it wouldnt hold air. Washed, and drove it home. Went to move it a few hours later, and the battery is dead. Well alive enough to unlock it, but dead enough where it wont start. Damm ultra guage and thier false advertising.
