    Yea except all I did was drop the oil pan and put new bearings in haha

    On that note, I wish our cv axles and front diff where still like the older trucks.

    Oh, I dropped the oil pan alright... and oil splashed everywhere. :mad: Just as I bent down to pick it up and muttered "I hate my life.", I smacked my head pretty good on the engine block.

    Speaking of the engine, I dropped it off two(?) weeks ago at the shop so they could take measurements and tell me what I needed to replace. I hadn't heard a thing so I stopped by yesterday and they for some reason thought they were waiting for me to bring the cylinder head. Got the measurements and apparently the rings wallowed out the grooves on the pistons, so I ordered a set of LCE rings and pistons 0.020" over, along with new standard bearings.

    Motor is gonna be in good shape after that. I'm sure ours needs that. But my parents want to sell it and get one with AC

    Can't just add A/C? The '80 in Colorado Springs that I pulled the bed from still had the A/C. Kinda kicking myself for not grabbing that too.
