Would you be willing to part with those tail lights for a semi reasonable price? Mostly need the driver's side, but for the right price it would be nice to have both so they're faded the same amount and have decent spares. If you wouldn't mind PMing me a price I'd appreciate it.

Got the clutch, pressure plate and throw out bearing replaced. Just waiting on the master cylinder to finish off the clutch system.

Got a full gauge cluster and a 1990 ecu for the Comanche today. Gotta look up how to turn the miles back in the cluster and hopefully everything works out. Probably won't get work done on it till next week sometime since I'll be going to harlan Kentucky wheeling this weekend and going to Charleston for parts sometime next week.

Drove it today, apparently the dmv is already closed for Christmas and will be closed till the 27th, but drove it around the neighborhood and it runs, but the starter has died and I had to roll start it. Strange how things can go out within an hour.
I love that truck. I have been feeling like I need an MJ, but I have not seen any of them in my area.

How hard is it for you to find a rear window up there? I'm getting ready to take mine out for a sliding window instead. So I'll have one more spare.
