Truck gets all Red Inside

   I finally got most of my parts for my truck to replace the entire interior from a 91 blazer donor. All colors match, the seats look like new. The are so nice a plush unlike my worn out pieces I have in the truck now. The ole girl is getting new rubber meats all the way around. I decided to go with the BFG All-Terrain KO's in a 32x11.50R15 size. I ordered a new Autometer Tachometer to monitor the engine performance. New springs for the front are also on the way to help replace the slightly warped front ones that are on there right now.

   The truck is coming together very nicely with all the new pieces. Hopefully next year she will get a new GM crate motor unless I figure out a way to get a nice donor TPI engine from a Corvette or Trans Am. But I'll just go for the factory crate motor. Simple, easy, and dependable which is just the way I like my truck since it is my only means of transportation at the moment. I'll be posting some pictures of the things I'm replacing so all my buddies at ColoradoK5 can compare pics. Okay, back to shopping for a transmission temperature gage for the truck. I need to keep an eye on those temps, wouldn't want any kind of viscosity break down occurring. Heat + Time = Short transmission life, which is a very bad thing!
