Dually work before Christmas was my fun. Had to replace the water pump this last weekend. I always hate that job because of all the crap you gotta take off just to get to the water pump on a 91 big block. It took me a few hours but the job was successful 
I also put in some new LED tails on her

What a cool project and some great headway already. The bar keeps getting raised. 1-2 trucks isn't enough, so let's just make it stock standard to have 3-4 or more from all the GM generations.
Nice find and addition to the driveway!

Thanks, man! I love them! When you hit the brakes they also do like 3 bursts before it hits solid red to alert the fine folks behind you that you're stopped and they'd better stop too
It's definitely an upgrade over the originals.

My wife just asked the other night as I was telling her about some other trucks I was "finding" online...."Can we just take a break for a bit?" referring to the truck hoarding
I told her I was pretty content now with what we have so no need to worry about that right now but it struck me as funny. I did warn her that of what we have now, I don't see any of it leaving any time in the near future but I wouldn't mind adding stuff and getting into car flipping essentially. I feel like I could be fairly successful at it as long as I could keep "the budget" in mind between the point of buying and then selling it for profit. She just glared 
.......but she never disagreed with my idea LOL

Sounds like a "yes" to me.

Yes. Now just watch Narcos season 4 Mexico and pick out one of the plenty of killer square bodied burbs, pick ups, 4 door sedans, etc...
A Perfect answer to a not “no” Yes you were just given!

So cool to see something this age, and with the extra lights she carries, brought to current with a simple LED change out. And how dim the OEM lights really were and still are as we know. Not that we had many options back then.
A high school buddy had one he pulled horse trailers with and he was always romping that 454. 6-8mpg if he was lucky...lol. He also had a 78 TA that he was constantly "working on". Never got farther than a ton of Bondo and the interior ripped out....meaning the old school mesh beach chairs for front seats and no seat belts!!
Sorry for the long post, this thread just reminded me of some of the old rides of the past...lol. Love the dually!!

Yeah, too many projects end up just like that TA unfortunately. I think sometimes some people just get ahead of themselves and then quickly either get overwhelmed or in over their heads and the project stalls out. Just gotta pick at it a little at a time. AND STAY AWAY FROM LARGE AMOUNTS OF BONDOSo cool to see something this age, and with the extra lights she carries, brought to current with a simple LED change out.

Agreed on above ^^
Thx. Mine are quite dirty at the moment.
You however are at a statistical disadvantage on all fronts.
3 trucks IIRC 87, 91 hog, 07 + 4 young kids + 1 wife + winter
by comparison, I have
2 trucks + 2 middle kids + 1 wife + no winter
oh and you have 2 open projects. lol.
kbuskill
***CAUTION*** I do my own stunts!
Sounds like you need to either pick up a couple more trucks or a couple more wives... just to keep things fair... lol

Agreed...and 2 kids is enough for me. Trucks can allow you to do the cuss walk, talk to yourself, feel the reward all without so much as a tear, back chat or hairy eyeball. Plus you don't have to change the song or share your beer.
Other than the $/family/time balance, I see it as a win-win...for the truck and you/we/us.
