Awesome!

Be careful with your state laws and shipping in paint. I could have done mine for half price if they could ship to commie MD.
Oh I'm familiar like the snake oil I use on rust home Depot don't have it in New Jersey any more but I can order it online and pick it up in store. Go figure MD I would think you have tight laws on chemicals with that hole Dupont thing but Jersey is in fact the toxic waste state I can get blatters of acid dropped at my door like a news paper when I'm not home lol I think it has something to do with port Newark and all the shipping if they tighten the laws here then nothing could go in or out on a ship. But don't quote me on that I'm not shore of all the laws

Look for a burnt wire for your high blower fan, our G bodies are famous for that, my 88 was melted. I never had issues with my 78, just replaced the fan bushing I believe. Looking good, keep it up.

Tonight in my 20 minutes of daylight after work I managed to get the heater controls working so that's 1 less thing to worry about. Turns out the stunad I bought it from cut the vacuum line to the cab off so it was a surprisingly quick fix. Of course it brought me to the next problem the blower doesn't work on hi. Maybe tomorrow night I'll figure that out. If I remember right hi is a separate circuit? Anyway if I get one thing done a day I should be driving it soon.
"Stunad" God I haven't heard that in forever!

Well I got the drivers rocker panel on my daily driver today a little mud and paint it will be golden next weekend I'll do the other side. I was going to spend the remainder of the day on the crew cab but it's raining and it ran out of gas so I scaled rust off the plow for a wile and called it quits for the day

Yea I remember G-bodys melt down at the plug we're the 2 harness plug together square bodys don't have that I think it may be the resister or whatever that thing is on the A/C box I need to investigate deeper

I had a busy weekend! Didn't get back on the crew cab however I went to my family's closed shop in PA and chewed threw some work on my daily driver. I made the trip up Friday night after work. As soon as I got there I pulled it in and got to work cutting out the rot by 1:00am it had new rockers and the cab corners we're patched all the wile we we're building a wood fired boiler to heat the shop. By Saturday night we had paint on my truck and the heat was on but we still used space heaters to flash the clear. Sunday morning we put my running boards back on and door checks back in. So not needing to be home until Sunday night I dug up the front differential from my old dump truck. We brought it in the shop and I pulled the automatic hubs off of it and the bud hubs so I can use them to finish my part time conversion. I didn't get many pictures but here's a few
