Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
Grmpy - you and I should be neighbors. That is exactly how my projects seem to go. Start small and scope creep sets in right off the bat. The end product is always nice but usually more time and money than originally thought.
Andy - where did you get the seals and who is the maker?

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
Told the guy light blue he brings me an Ochre bed.
JK, the guy does good work. This is the first stage on the bed, though the underside and inside are done. We finished the body dry run, drilled for the tail bezels and lower molding. We'll work on the side moldings next time. Someone stuffed a LH upper tailgate molding in a RH NOS bag. Long story I got three LH, no RH

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
I got my Tow Hitch fitted, after seeing one on a truck in this thread on another Longhorn.
Its a Draw-Tie 41938 and fitted up very well. Now to do some wiring for brakes and lights. |

By using a syringe there's no tapping. Ink refill syringe does the trick quite well.

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
I got the under side of the cab stripped. The tip-n-flip is a life saver. So far, NO rust repair!

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
I got the passenger side vent window done. The sray made a big difference in the assembly.

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
Do the rockers, inner and outer. Once you cut into them you will most likely see why. They hold dirt and then the moisture. Always a nightmare in everyone I have owned.

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
I took out the black vinyl and replaced it with dark saddle. I think it goes better with the color of the truck. Golden Ginger
