Thanks to everyone for the warm welcome!! I started cleaning and making a list of parts needed. I removed 6 spoons, 2 small mirrors, 4 box cutter blades and about a dozen alcohol prep pads…. So yeah, a complete tear down is needed just to make sure nothing is “hidden”!!!

Surprising though, I’m finding that this truck is bone stock. I have yet to find ANYTHING aftermarket, which is amazing for a 32 year old truck. So far, the only thing I can find missing is the heat riser for the air cleaner! But of course, as I dig into this, I come up with more questions than answers (like why do I have fog (left of the column) AND driving (right of the column) light switches since I don’t have fog lights (just the roll bar lights). So, off to the forums for more hours of research. LOL

Nice weather and a new toy/project/bottomless pit…. Good times!! Good times!!!
