    received_10208962156244638.jpeg Been a while since I posted been really busy at work and home haven't had chance to work on the truck much. I put new fuel tank level sender in with my brother's help. Touched up the paint some more. Got the new LED turn signals on the front, boy tight space and a pain in the ### took me 6.5 hours... I have a guy coming out this Saturday to weld my frame to fix it correctly and put plate over the front side. One step closer to get the truck done. I'm not going do anything with speedometer I'm just going use GPS... Tachometer I'm going attempt to fix that as bell housing hole is stripped out. I have my shop making me new hydro hoses as there going charge me 20$ Vs 79$ a hose at the local hydro place... Going order new coolant hoses probably 150 foot roll and also 150 get of air line hoses as some are lil too dry rotted.... Been busy

    Not sure why all my photos say there too large to upload

    Props to you for keeping it all original. The led light ain’t no big deal. But you kept the signal stat style.

    Trying to update it but keep it looking original I don't want it to loose it's old school look. I'm getting my hydraulic hoses from work today. (20$ a piece Vs 79$) slowly but surely

    Need help please. I got a 1985 Kenworth K100e, and it will start with spraying starting fluid in the exhaust pipe. But it will only run for 1-2 mins, how do I keep it running? Been taking out the fuel filter and filling it up each time, and I’ve replaced it a couple times, went thru 8 cans of starting fluid in less than a day, any advice what else I can do ?
