She's had her hand in everything over the last year of working on it. It's been a great experience for both of us. Quality father/daughter time.

One of the Very Best things the Father/Daughter team can do is hop in the C-10 and go pick 2 boxes of Avocados then mail them to me!

Sorry for not posting a reply sooner, they are bolted thru bushings, the bolts are tight enough that it requires a slightly firm push to fold them out of the way. There is no unintended movement.

I like stuff like that because it's both unique and resourceful. People look at it and say, "That's pretty cool. Where did you buy them?". Then you can just smile and casually say, "I made them."
NICE JOB

Yeah buddy, we have avos coming out the tail pipes over here. Don't even know what they cost to be honest, I thought they were free.

Installed a third brake light off of a late 90's Suburban and put new LED "For Off-road Use Only" bulbs in the taillights.

Pizzaholic · 11-19-2015, 02:02 AM

Here is a close up of the third brake light referenced in my previous post.

Looks very good almost factory. Did you need to reshape it ?

That's very cool, I like it.

Drove the old truck to work yesterday and today. Planning on it tomorrow too! May become my dd again for a while.

Great question. I didn't reshape it, but it was actually warped a little bit with some slight concave curvature that along with the slight concave curvature of the opposing metal roofline creates about a 1/8th inch gap between the light housing and the roof at it's center point, so I may try to drill aanother hole in it and add a third screw in the center if it won't ruin the light in the process (and if it does, the third brake light only cost me $7 at the junkyard and there were many more where that came from.) If that doesn't work, I could probably add some construction adhesive and then caulk it and paint it to match the roof color to create a finished look.

Flowmasters always seem to sound extra nice on a 6, inliner or V!

T.W.Dustin · 11-22-2015, 11:21 PM

Been getting parts media blasted for my '64 short step PU - sprayed about a gallon of self etch over the past 2 weekends. Did it all outside - the weather has been great!!!

I covered the driver's side door panel in vinyl and used the Duplicolor fabric paint product to match it to the color I had previously used on the bench seat that I had pulled out of a '67 Buick.
