Wow, thank you! Really just a couple side views with the cargo cover on (not rolled up like in your avatar) and maybe a view from the rear? I'm assuming the cargo cover has separate front and rear curtains?
I appreciate it.
I'm making a change...the kit came with the 5 bows as one piece (see pic) but I have cut them apart and I'm considering gluing them in the upright position and putting on an actual cloth cargo cover. Of course if I do that I have to do it for the cab as well. I'll get a pic up of some cloth my...
The new pump is on the workbench, the bracket assembly needs a good wire-brush treatment, fair amount of corrosion. Plus very rainy today. I'll be running by the weekend. :)

If a mod would like to move it that would be fine with me. :beer:
I ordered the same pump just now so I'm tagging in to this thread. Farmun let me know if you find the plumbing parts needed?
Thanks. EEk, wait, I ordered an 8135...ah looks like that's OK but not sure if it's the same fittings as 8131.
Yes, DB, that makes sense--thanks! How do you open the top casing? I see no obvious way...
