Be careful with that Lexol, I have read some bad results with it. I think the cleaner is the issue, not the conditioner though. Seems the Ph of the cleaner does not mesh well with the untreated castino leather and breaks it down, causing cracking and a suede feeling to the leather.

You will need several applications of Leather CPR. Mine were quite dry and after 6-8 applications they started feeling much, much better. Also google "King Ranch leather spa treatment" and clean them this way, makes a big difference. My leather pics are in the post in my sig. Wish I had the cash to build mine up, I am just trying to get enough to get a used engine put in mine.

How I track my bolts lolEngine should be going to shop this week pending work schedule. Wish I had more time to work on it. Still need to get an oil pump, timing gears, chains, water pump, tensioner, pulley, gasket set, etc.

This is my favorite truck you purchased so far lol. What kind of gearing does she have 3.55? I assume she comes with a 4r100? Glad to see your getting the engine built up, i know you don't want crazy power, but if you get some cams, LT's and and a tune it would be a pretty solid DD.
Just saying...I would think this would be a perfect candidate for a turbocharger, being the 4v will breathe and rev better than the 2v, especially compared to the 2v. A turbocharged 4v king ranch would definitely top the list. I'd love to see the whole process, starting with yanking that 2v out lol...
