Well, after the storms passed, I went out to work on putting the swaybar bushings and endlinks in. I quickly realized that the endlinks that I bought weren't going to work, but I already had the swaybar off the truck, so I just left it completely off and took it for a test drive.

Surprisingly, the truck rides better without a swaybar and a lot of the harshness in the front end is gone.

I did notice that my driver's side ball joint is shot. I've got a pair of replacements here already, so I'll probably get them swapped out next weekend.

I can only imagine what the wiring looks like for all of those switches. That had to be a nightmare to keep straight and neat.

That's why it took me 6 hours. I straightened up my nest of wires under the hood and steering column. Also added an external 12 fuse block for everything. Now it's all labeled and organized. I have to tie wrap and conduit everything but otherwise it looks okay. Lol

I believe these things are sweet and the reverse lights on them are spectacular compared to stock

My camshaft has been reground and is in its way. All the other parts are here so I should have my truck back on the road in a week or so.

Been daily driving the '85 which has no A/C. :thumbsdown:

Kudos on the job. If you don't I like it very much!

Thank you. I think I might like it a little more if it was shinier. Might pick up so plasti dip glossifer and see how that comes out
