There are just some days I wish I didn't turn wrenches

Those pads really do make the difference on this 71 year old body. Especially when I stack them, is very soft to lay on and way easier to scoot out from under vehicle. In the pic, I also use the two smaller pads to kneel down on to save my knees. The other advantage is that they handle fluid spills/stains easily and can set jack stands on them and use floor jack on top of them. My girl is the one who saw these and got them for me. She takes care of me, way better than I do. She worries about me being under these vehicles and will climb under with me and also hang around topside and hand me tools and rags and drain pans and and and, so I don't have to crawl out all the time. She actually gives me the "hard look" if I go under a vehicle without her being there. I got so lucky with her. Grew up helping her dad in the garage and around family vehicles and loves football and NASCAR.

This is what it has. The radio in the center dash, the cassette/equalizer are to the right and separate in the dash.View attachment 421390View attachment 421391View attachment 421392

I checked on ebay and there seems to be one person selling all the options for those year/make/models and they all seem to be black face and buttons. That does not bother me but the minimum price he shows is $178 and goes up to $350. Gonna do something but unsure what, yet. A member at the GMT400 forum has shared that the known problem with these radios is the gradual decay of operation and ends with clock finally stopping. Her radio did exactly that. Has to do with solder problems from age and the jarring of radio with age. The truck is 33 years old, after all.

I saw it was a FORD but did not have the heart to tell her. All we own is GM.

Got the headliner visors back this morning and reinstalled in my girl's 1990 K2500. Please be aware that the foam backing of the material will allow for seeing the hand indentations but when left alone, the impressions go away:
