He wanted to go through insurance. Time to hurry up and wait. That is annoying, now I am back down to one vehicle until I can fix my Impala.

Brackets are back on and truck is back together ready to be driven. Too bad it has no AC right now. I think my leak has gotten worse and I am just going to have to figure out where it is coming from.

Bumper is definitely scratched up as well as the cap but I guess that is okay. One day I will get a painted cap and bumper. One day...

Pulled the line that goes from the condenser to the dryer and replaced it. I have a new condenser coming in on Wednesday to replace as it as well. Also replaced the dryer.

Wrong condenser. I misunderstood the RockAuto listing and ordered the wrong one, however it doesn't fit any truck ever so I am not really sure why they have it listed... Anywho, new condenser and some extra seals coming from Amazon now.

I did get a new condenser in and charged up. Held vacuum overnight and seems to be working pretty good, need to add a few more ozs of freon though. I had to order a new socket to do my blend door, I'm not really excited to do that job.

Blend door actuator installed now. I had installed it incorrectly the other night but last night I got it back in, started turning the ***** and what not and it wasn't moving but a couple of millimeters. Thought I was going to have to pull it back out but suddenly I heard a loud pop and it started moving correctly so that turned out to be a win.
Just need to fill it with a tad more freon and I am good to go on the AC.
