She lives again I got the bugs out finally . I took her for a thirty mile run today 2 miles at a time at first till I felt comfortable with her performance and then we went for broke and through caution in the wind. She drove great and steered and stopped the same. I even slammed the brakes on at 45mph down hill and no Tipping . All the gauges work but the fuel the speedo works great with the GPS. I had forgotten how much fun these trucks are to drive on rough roads she rattles a little but on smooth she is great. The new tires keep her true in her own lane and doesn't let her wander all over. The new shocks probabily help some too.

I still got a few things to fix before I can call her 100% road ready but she is close.Greg & Mendy Dayton, Ohio 2007LH 2008LH 2010LH 2011LH 2012 1st 2 stops 2013LH 2015 1st 2 stops2016LH 2017 first and last stops . 2018 LH ("It's better to be dead and cool than alive and uncool!!

Drove her to the muffler shop to get a tail pipe made for her to finish up the exhaust. Stopped at Jegs looked at steering wheels not for sure if they have a installation kit to fit. I got one to fit a 65 pickup to see if it will fit.Greg & Mendy Dayton, Ohio 2007LH 2008LH 2010LH 2011LH 2012 1st 2 stops 2013LH 2015 1st 2 stops2016LH 2017 first and last stops . 2018 LH ("It's better to be dead and cool than alive and uncool!!

Got the truck back today she sounds great now that she has a new tail pipe run out the back. Got the new rear window seal and new wiper bezels. The guy called me today with my seats and he said he should have the one he has done soon and wanted to know if the other one is the same and I said yes so he is going to go ahead and make both at once. So should have the seats back soon or I should say seat.Last edited by pintoboy77; July 29, 2015, 05:40 PM.Greg & Mendy Dayton, Ohio 2007LH 2008LH 2010LH 2011LH 2012 1st 2 stops 2013LH 2015 1st 2 stops2016LH 2017 first and last stops . 2018 LH ("It's better to be dead and cool than alive and uncool!!
