Rebuilt Driver side King pin new spindle bearing cleaned and greased wheel bearings. Will tackle passenger side tomorrow.

 

Removed bubbled/wrinkled window tint from passenger side window. Razor blades and Windex.

Not sure if I'm gonna do the driver's side or not. I'll see how funny it looks

 

Please leave it, its just not a good ol' first gen if there isn't something just a weee bit off

I'm going to be fixing my cracked frame this weekend. Drill the crack, cut the rot and weld in a plate. Then weld the front spring hanger back in place in the rear. Can't get to it to bolt it back in place without dropping the tank.

Removed the driver's side tint before I read your post. Oh well, plenty other details askew on my rig. Kinda diggin' the stock look without tint.

 

On '89 D-350,Took rusty tailgate apart. Latches and handle stuck. What a mess!

 

This about made me retire the truck...

Drilled the crack


Plated it


Bottom frame section 3/8 plate. 10" before the rot and 10" after.


Just have to get the hanger back attached to the frame and spring lined back up, should be good as new and at the least better than it was

Yeah I wasn't expecting the truck to be missing 1/3 of its frame and cracked 98% of the way thru. If it wasn't for the spring hanger it would have folded in half like a Chevy.

 

Cleaned and adjusted the stock TPS on my D250; thanks to you all and this forum.
