After doing a little driving the brakes still felt spongy, and I wanted to bleed them again. I'm glad when I built the rear deck that I made the center between the rails removeable. I was easy to get to the rear brakes to bleed them.
The next thing that I have been working on is the emergency brake. I wanted to use the old original one out of the COE but couldn't find a good place to have it come out of the floor. The center console was in the way to put it back in the original location and if I tried to move it to the outside it was in the way to get in and out. So, I settled on using the P 30 one and put it alongside the driver seat. It's convenient to get to and out of the way.
Next, I installed the engine dress-up kit. Lots of nice a shiny stuff.
As I was loading the straps and other stuff in the toolboxes and it became apparent that it needed some padding on the floors of the boxes. So, I ordered some 1/8" rubber matt and fitted it in the bottom of all the boxes.
Another thing missing when I was driving around was the ability to see out the back. The side mirrors worked great down the sides and the backup camera when I was in reverse but straight out the rear was a blind spot. So, I ordered a rear-view camera and installed it on the rear of the upper cab. It gives me the ability to see straight out and also what's going on the bed.
Last but not least I installed a radiator recovery tank.
