Thanks Tim, yeah I know it'll never be "done", but like you say its more frustrating to hafta go back and do something again, than to move to the next project and deal with that. But Im gonna take this opportunity to:
1. Obviously find and fix the shimmy
2. Remove the fuel tank and treat it so it won't rust anymore.
3. Find and fix the rear oil seal leak.
4. Remove and do a better paint job on the exhaust and intake manifolds. They were painted with normal paint, not heat resistant, and the paint has burned off both and they look like crap.
5. Find and fix the turn signal/headlight grounding issue that makes the passenger side turn signal come on steady when the headlights are on.
6. Pick up the combat rims I dropped off to be blasted last Monday, get them painted, tires mounted, and take them to the truck or tractor tire shop and see about getting them balanced, so I can eliminate that as a possible cause of the shimmy
So Im thinking this will be a remove the wheels and tires and put the truck on jackstands so I can't drive it till its all fixed.
