On the 8th day god created the Super Swamper TSL and said "go forth and kick ass"
WOOHOO! TATE YOU ARE THE MAN. - I AM UNDEREQUIPPED. NO QUESTION. BUT I HAD NO CHOICE. I COULD NOT DRIVE THE TRUCK AS IS, IT WAS UNSAFE, WOULD NOT TURN RIGHT, CRACKED FRAME ETC. I DID NOT HAVE THE MONEY OR CREDIT TO HAVE SOMEONE REPAIR IT. i wanted to do it myself anyways. i have figured out i am more able than i give myself credit for. i was not gonna sell it for like 500 bucks or whatever i could have gotten for it. so i did it. welder, sawzall, chopsaw, and torch are def on my list. so is a garage. and some tall jackstands. ill add more later.
no offense tken btw

Well, very productive night tonight. As far as the truck goes, I got the bumpstop off - turns out it was bolted on - I am just gonna say it was rusted in place so it would have to have been cut off anyways. I got two rivets popped out, and cut the head off another. I am not sure whats gonna happen with that one just yet. I got the tabs on the brake shoes "crimped" on. I got a broken bolt out of the caliper bracket and replaced it. Got the brake lines out to take to my favorite brake line man jimmy tomorrow.
So....tomorrow I take the brake lines to work. I get my bracket back from wayne. I take a long lunch and go get the new ends put on the brake lines. I borrow the corded drill from work, or one of you guys (eric?) brings one by. Drill the holes, Hopefully have enough hardware to bolt stuff up. Bleed the brakes and possily the MC. It's getting close.
I have to work tomorrow night though - damn it.
