I am going to see what our local base, Fort Huachuca, has in their mechanic shop. For a few bucks, one can work on their vehicles in there. They have presses, a paint booth, and all kinds of other stuff.

Torch to burn those out, as they mold them into the metal. Look at my 2nd picture again

Word of caution if you do the torch thing, sometimes they squirt out. Don't let it hit you.

Yeah once they are out. You might have to cut the metal that's left over from the bushing and hammer it out. That's how some of the other bushing where when I did it. Not worth your time

That rubber stinks bad, and will burn the crap out of anything it drips on

Tell him Onyx did it

i knew it was you a long time ago. onyx told penny, who told me.

The whole link is about as much as the bushings alone. How wasteful.

I have these cut wires just hanging. I don't know what they are, and have not (yet) found them in the Workshop manual. They are primary yellow, and one has a black line and the other has a red line.

Is that on the passenger side frame rail

Hey, Doc! @heavydoc . . . Yes, it leads to a socket on the passenger side frame rail. The socket is empty. Do you know what it is?

They are going to be in the tank on the bottom.

Ok, I am in a pissy mood right now about the flood of money I am/have/will sink into my obs that's turning the final chapter in its rodstoration.

My wife reminds me.

New trucks of this caliber cost 60-90 THOUSAND dollars, and require a $600-900 MONTHLY PAYMENT

You may have $20 000 in the truck when it's MOSTLY done, but you will have a better truck, and YOU built it

Think about that.


And there are a lot of people here ready and willing to help you make that happen. They sure have helped me

Y'know, this may be the best post ever! Yeah, I went over 20k . . . about $23,500 . . . And I am really pleased with my truck.

 

[cjfisher]

Jax,

Does that 23k include what you paid for the truck in the first place?

[Dustybumpers]

Golly, I hope not. That will double the price of mine

yea, but you never were smarter than a third grader.

Yes . . . And pretty much every penny spent until it was on the road. And even though it was on the road, I included the AC and HPOP in the "rebuild" costs.

Now, I track costs to pure maintenance, because I am still going to need to do things like shocks, brakes, etc. But that is any vehicle.
