I’m glad to see that you have that truck back and driving around! How’s the auto feel in it now?

Like a screwball manual with no clutch!

How’d you run o/d and lockup on switches? I want to do the same thing to my 95 when I get it back from getting the bed welded up.
5 years of running with no o/d is getting old

I didn’t do it, I traded for the trans build/install. Works off a relay - I haven’t gotten the diagram yet.

the roof has to stay light colored due to the heat here.

I read somewhere that supposedly red is the coolest color, since it reflects more of the infrared spectrum.

I don't doubt you, but my red 1992 GMC K1500 is kind of miserable at 96º ! A/C is down...

You need that 2/55 A/C.
2 windows down, 55mph.

I tried that, but it didn't work as well as it used to 50 years ago!

Just maybe because they don't have crotch coolers like they use to! JS

Man, I'd pay for that option, I remember our '78 Impala patrol cars had those! And big axial compressors and Freon 12.

White paint vs red? I once visited southern Florida for a few months.
I had a red D-50 power ram (Mitsubishi) and girlfriend had a white ford granada. Park them both in a grocery store lot for about an hour?
The red truck was waaay hotter then the white car, when you came back.
