Always good to have batteries in a trickle charge . My son got me a solar cell that Toyota put on the Prius during transport to keep the battery tipped off I have it on the dump trailer most of the time .

Mixing it up today. I love doing body work with a 3 and 8lbs sledge

72c20customcamper · 09-20-2022, 07:10 PM

Body work and primed

72c20customcamper · 09-21-2022, 08:53 PM

Bumper came out nice . Painted it in the cargo trailer I’m converting into a small spray booth . Plan is to put two windows in with air filters ,trailer already has a camper door so I can get in and out . I have an explosion proof exhaust fan the we used at the body shop, plan is to vent it out the roof vent . Took it out after 40 minutes to bake in the sun .

Looks great

And got some shiny trinkets. Got these from Summit because they were on sale and $20 cheaper than anywhere else added a few things I needed anyway and got free shipping too, they were drop shipped from Holley . Actually very impressed with them .

**Steeveedee** · 09-21-2022, 09:31 PM

Nice work on the bumper. and those emblems look good, too!

mr.mud1 · 09-21-2022, 09:43 PM

yes sir,very nice work on the truck and those emblems are gorgeous.top notch.

tdangle · 09-21-2022, 09:55 PM

Those emblems actually came from Brothers Trucks, now owned by Holley

72c20customcamper · 09-21-2022, 10:02 PM

The emblems are really nice and have some weight . Detail is very good we shall see how they hold up . I realized as I was putting the fenders on that if I buttoned up the front I would have to use barrel clips I prefer using the speed nuts .

Maybe Brothers will get better . I stopped ordering from them a couple of years ago every time something was on back order usually the piece I needed most . I never actually got anything from them I had to cancel every order after a few weeks .

Just my experience.

**Jiggers72-GMC** · 09-22-2022, 07:45 AM

I also installed new emblems on my truck but I should have put the old ones back on.

your emblems look great Mark

Chevys4life · 09-22-2022, 01:35 PM

That truck is coming along nicely!!!!

72c20customcamper · 09-23-2022, 06:51 PM

Thanks for the kind words on the truck . I’d like to get it done before winter but it’s not looking so. Was 54 degrees today and windy . Got a few things done hopefully get the back glass in tomorrow.

New rollers on the regulator. Was fairly easy to do I did use a 6mm socket to hold the river flush while I tapped the other side with a cross peen hammer. No crushing of the roller .

72c20customcamper · 09-23-2022, 06:59 PM

Buttoned up the door but I’ll have to disassemble to install the mirrors when they come . No big deal as luck would have it I bought a new counter parts dash pad and some armrests from a guy on Facebook . The pad is brown and the armrests are black but I think it works with the trucks colors . My dark fawn seat came yesterday too . Out of three passenger doors and two Drivers I managed to salvage 3 silver door plugs

**Jiggers72-GMC** · 09-24-2022, 07:28 AM

Right on Mark, hopefully you get'er done before winter ......

72c20customcamper · 09-24-2022, 01:03 PM

I keep plugging away at it . Rear glass in

72c20customcamper · 09-24-2022, 05:24 PM

Starting to feel like Phil. Nother day nother door .

**Johnl48** · 09-24-2022, 07:53 PM

Nice! What sort of paint did you use?

**Fbks_Cruiser** · 09-24-2022, 09:18 PM

Installed the PO3s I got from too much stuff. After couple hours with hammer and dolly and then cutting the centers out of the worst 2, I got them got put on today. When I get new tires, I’ll paint the wheels white like they oughta be. Now if I could only find some affordable Spicer big hub lockouts!

That does look fine.

Gave my rebuilt for the last time differential its 500 mile oil change. Got delayed a day when the friction modifier decided to pour onto the floor instead of the fill point - but Amazon delivered another 4 ounces on Sunday. Got it buttoned up and took a drive to stir it all up..

And to think that I thought I was the only one that had luck like that..

Glad she's up and back in action.

I feel like I am chasing a toddler when it comes to pouring oil into the funnel for the truck.
