Thanks guys. I'll definitely try to get the stuff above the windshield tackled first. So far there doesn't appear to be any major issue there, but I have to investigate further. Is there a seam sealer that you guys recommend? Something I can paint right over? I'll look at the steering coupler too, but it feels nice and tight while driving.

I plan on ditching the catalytic converter and running true duals with a H-pipe. If I can get some headers from a guy who was selling a truck, then I'll throw them in as well, or maybe some shorties. If not, I think I'll be fine just running the exhaust off of the manifolds.

While replacing the water pump I was mulling over whether to go electronic fans or just replace the the clutch.

Also, I don't know if I'm going to mess with the ride height. I kind of like where it is now. I'm going to do the suspension (there's a missing strut rod bushing) and drive it a while though before I decide.
