I attempted to explain to my wife that that my truck isn't a storage container.

Lots of luck with that, Lol.
I got the hood and fenders painted. Welded trim holes on the cab. Pretty nice and getting close.

"It doesn't hurt anything here and nobody sees it behind the seat".

Anyway post some pictures. I am sort of on the fence on weather or not to remove the trim on mine.

I started the install of some train horns. The tank and compressor are mounted, I have the trumpets ready for installation, Wiring to the compressor is done, wiring to the blow solenoid is about 75% done. Waiting on some stuff from Amazon and the interior part will be the end.


Here is a shop air (90 psi) test




It was so loud I had to put my pinky finger in my ear and shake it...


BTW It normally operates at 150psi

Sounds like you need another project!!

Went to the jy on Saturday and cut the trans tunnel out of a RC to make my own removable tunnel cover. I also scored a steering box support bracket and an un-cracked steering box to frame adapter plate from the same RC. Got home and cut the opening in my truck's trans tunnel.

Yes, I need my first project. This truck has never been touched except for brakes at 85k, and the head liner fell down. I don't understand why so many people hate Dodge. I've had all three brands and have had the best luck with this one!!!

People are funny that way. They dislike things for no reason sometimes. other times they get a bad one and think they are all bad.

I pressure washed my engine and did some wire wheeling on the front differential. then it got hot out there 100* in the shade now. I think the dog has the right idea, She lays on the cool floor ant looks out the window.

Today,

I picked up materials from one of our local shipping companies warehouses, then I towed my dump trailer to the recycling center a few towns over. While walking back out to my truck, after getting paid for my "recycling", a guy in a mid 1990's F Diesel pickup (extended cab with short bed), started yelling out his window at me....

"HEY.... is that your First Gen ????"


I laughed and said... "Yes"...

he said..

"Man, that thing is sweet !!!!! "

I laughed again, and jumped in the truck to get out of the rain....



Even Ford guys love our Old Dodges....
