Yesterday, I loaded finished loading the truck and loaded the trailer with bagged leaves. Hauled them to the dump this morning. I wish the landfill were open later in the afternoon, cause then I could drive the bump/trailer to work and dump the leaves after I got off.
Still have 5 bags of leaves to start the next load, and still have a lot of leaves left on the trees! (I hate that oak tree. :x )

Finally got nice chrome gas cap for it. Makes the driver side look a whole lot nicer.
No more old crusty, rotten rubber seal, leaky gas cap!

Replaced the leaky front passenger wheel cylinder. Got dark so have to wait until tomorrow to get it all back together.... Busted 2 knuckles and sliced the web between my thumb and index finger. Let me say Darn I can't wait until I upgrade to front disc brakes.. I hate drum brake hardware.

put the rear leaf springs on, sandblasted all the mounts and trans crossmember, rear sport bumper brackets, painted them all, dug out some inner fenders to get ready for paint, ordered a drivers side cab mount because I found a rust spot on the one on my cab I over looked. ordered the bed bolts. scuffed up the primer on cab for paint, under coated the cab, except for cab mount area. made arrangements to get the cab off the stand and back on the new frame :D just a few things so far :wink:
