    2D271D7C-BD8C-4C71-B101-77D7159CA558.jpg Took the console out and painted the severely stained shifter covers with Fabric paint. I even painted the crappy looking screws with black paint. It cleaned up that area of the truck. Then I cleaned the carpets and wiped down the entire interior. Busy afternoon!

    @2pei You’ll have a very hard time finding an 80’s compact truck rollbar used, they’re all but gone from the world. I have the same one used in Back to the Future for the 1985 Pickup but never installed it in my truck. It’s for sale but it’s in California.

    My son has used C2C Custom Vinyls and Graphics. The guy is in Florida. He found him on Facebook. The pic is one of the custom sets that he had them make for his ‘02.52B7E43F-6570-4137-A17B-BEC812ABA63F.jpg

    If that was sleeved with EMT, maybe even double sleeved, you might be onto something. As long as they're not packing around a torch.

    New custom driveshaft on the way! Woot!
    Photos pending. In thr mean time I discovered the following...a leak.

    Posted in general... bad idea lol forgot how crazy that thread gets.

    5vzfe. Leak appears in front of the oil filter. Anyone know what it might be coming from? Or had a similar issue with a fix.

    '96 @ 143K. Have done a pile of other cosmetic projects in the last month, paint, James Dean decals, polished rims, interior work. Put in a 7 coat bullyliner this past Saturday. Rust free throughout. Must be good to live in the southeast.
    Picked up a ton of info lurking here on this site. Thanks to all who share here.

    The water keeps the airborne crap and sparks in check and prevents burning a hole through the bottom of the tray.

    The green fluid keeps the algae and the rust down. Basically, an overpriced additive.
