What did you do with your truck/shop today

[Daryl LBZ]

It has been in my livingroom for 2 years. I got tired of it sitting there not being used

Looks like it's in the perfect place now.

That thing is mint!

 

Only light I have is a Coors Light ... neon light in my laundry room.

I have that same washer

[Jsdirt]

Nice. Thing has been good to me over the past 13 years.

 

Only had to fix the gray boot in the door that leaked water for years (got torn somehow), and I had a piece of foam fall down inside the unit, and trip the out-of-balance switches prematurely, so it would never get through a spin cycle. Came back one day to find the thing still running 5 hours after I started the load. Thing has trouble codes like a modern car, lol, only 100x more simple.

 

Also have the matching dryer - all that I had to do to that so far was grease the rollers for the drum to stop the annoying, rhythmic squawk it used to make, lol. Lint trap sucks - it blows lint balls all over the lawn ...

Little roadtrip with the Mrs. and Little Lady, followed by a wash in the garage.

I have matching dryer and stand. I think mine are 13 years old

Getting mine inspected at the dealer I bought it from six months ago. Want to get the inspection done before the headers, Y-pipe and tune done over the next two weeks.

Exact same as mine - we must've bought them at the same time. I wrote the date on the back with a Sharpie - 7/12/03. Hauled them here in my '72 El Camino.

 

We don't have the stand though - that's something I should have got. Our floors are uneven in the house, so the washer goes walking all over the place after a spin cycle. Been dealing with it forever, so guess I'm used to it now. Thing sounds like a jet taking off when it spins, lol - think it hits 1,300 RPM if I remember right.

Did a half turd wash job on the beast yesterday. Need to redo the passenger side, I let the soap sit too long, windows look like crap. At least it's somewhat cleaner than it was though. Also added some plastic stuff to the headlights so they don't yellow again. Need to remember to do that every month.

Got a little close to a field parking at an auction. So moved to the over side of road.

Lots of weight for gravity to pull on there.

 

Love that flatbed - real nice!

Nothing. When grandma was alive it was hard for her to step up into her '06 2500 (she was around 4' 10") because the running boards hug the cab so much, so dad took some metal blocks, drilled holes in them, and dropped the running boards down and moved them out so grandma could actually get her feet on the running boards instead of just her toes. I didn't need that when I took over the '06 so dad took them off and put them on his '09. I'm just too lazy to take the blocks out. I think there's a spare set of blocks somewhere, or at least one or two in the garage somewhere. I think the blocks make the back half stick out more so dad could stand on the boards and reach into the tool box. If that's not what you're talking about then I have no clue.
