Went to the pull it yard to get a steering column. they didnt have one. DiD meet someone off the s10 forums which we talked for about a hour. Ended up trading my old seat console for a whole new set of inner & outer tie rods he didnt need.

Also got a 85.00 speeding ticket.BLAH


Installed the tie rods,and my steering's more sensitive. But i do need a alignment pretty bad now. I forgot to count the threads on the 1st side,which really threw me off.

someone freakin shoot me.........

got the tank out, broke the tank vent (ordered a new one) couldn't get the sending unit/pump out because the lock ring is so rusted (bought a new one at the dealer $30) tore the rubber filler neck lower hose (nobody just sells the lower so i've gotta figure that one out) and hope that when i go to replace the tank vent tomorrow that i don't break the damn tank.......

Decided it was time to get the roof brake light working properly so while about it I modded it.

Half the led's dont't work.



Made double row of led strip light.



Inserted new LED strip wit 15mm alu tube behind to hold strip in place.



Looking good.




I'll post pic of it on the truck tomorrow - too dark now to get a decent shot.
