 :13:  I just placed on order yesterday morning from RockAuto and this afternoon it was here.  Wow, I just used ground shipping too.  So I checked my invoice that came with the order and  it was shipped from Sugarland, TX.  No wonder....

I don't know if you guys use RockAuto but they have several warehouses listed like A, B and C.  I got smart this time and bundled only what came from the same warehouse to save on shipping.  After you add to your cart, if you look at the part listings it will tell you if its from the same warehouse.  Pretty cool, I thought. Not only that but they send coupons after your first order.

Thanks for the kind words.  Yeah, it's in pretty good shape but there's rust in a few places.  The top is real rusty though.  Ryan is selling me his axles to convert to 5x5.5 and is also selling me his seats & console.  Ron is making the delivery hopefully this coming weekend.  Skid plates are cleaned and painted.  Fuel tank is cleaned, fabbed a new vent grommet, cleaned and painted the tank straps.  Starting to gather up new rubber lines since all the lines were cut.  Since I'm on the subject, I need a rubber vent line to the filler neck from the tank.  It has a 1/2" ID and the parts store didn't have a fuel line in that size.  Anyone know if  it is a fuel line or an emissions hose?

Same thing must have happened on Dodge-Chat.  The moderator on there went into the State Police ranks and soon the place shut down.  Crazy....

People should have Ramcharger.net in their signature on RCC so that others will check it out.  Also, a little hint in the form of an IM to your buddies will get the word out.  If everyone made it a point to invite 5 new members the ranks would swell pretty quick.  Also gotta post occasionally to keep something new to read.

 8)  Going on vacation August 29th (Wed) through September 4th (Tue) for Labor Day weekend.  Shooting for picking up the motor / trans on Aug 5/6th (Wed / Thu)  since that's the wifey's regular days off.  Should be back in plenty of time for Saturday if it is that weekend.

Ryan, PM sent.

Cheaper is good but needs to look good too. LOL  Sounds good in theory though.

My big concern is your pic where all the wiring is all converging on the power distribution box.  Looks worse than what I have - no offense.  Is that the final product?

It sounds good but is there a thread out there or article I can read that shows details on converting the wiring into these?

Thanks Ron.  I talked to Ryan also but he wasn't sure when you were coming up.  Hope you two got together on that.  Soooo, are you bringing a heater box with you on the way to CC?  LOL  If you are, muchos gracias senior.   I have a feeling that someone changed out the heater core through this hole since the heater core looks in really good shape.  After I cleaned the box out, I realized it would have made a good pic.  It's crazy what some people will do and to leave the broken pieces inside to boot.  I bet the heater wasn't working because of the giant bird's nest in the cowl.  That sucker was full of hard packed leaves.  Not to mention that the duct work was all taken out and disconnected inside the truck.

The FSM came in today.  The inside looks pristine. Best $15 I ever spent but the damn shipping through USPS was $12.  That's BS, the book rate would have been cheaper I believe.  The seller says that ebay requires it.  Still a good deal though at $27 all together.
