Re: Intro from an old Assembly Plant guy
You know, I really haven't said much about how well this little truck drives: it goes straight, shifts easily, accelerates briskly and stops smoothly. It's nice and tight; It really is a very pleasant truck to drive and is like a brand new "old" truck.

Re: Intro from an old Assembly Plant guy
Yes - those are new panels from LMC. I wasn't sure I was going to like them at first: they are blow molded (rather than the original injection molded) and I was concerned that they were going to look cheap. By the time you dress them out, with the arm rest, door handle pull cup and the original trim, I think they look very good.
Thanks, guys, btw - K

Re: Intro from an old Assembly Plant guy
Ok - so with the completion of the inside of the driver's door, and some touch ups in the bed, I've finished everything I set out to do.
I used the same technique for the inside of the door (including the "Saran Wrap" masking): ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]()

Re: Intro from an old Assembly Plant guy
And here are the previously promised pictures of the inside of the box. I used Rustoleum, and I let my daughter paint it while I worked on the doors (which saved me a couple days). Total cost for the box = $6.78.

Re: Intro from an old Assembly Plant guy
Ok - I lied...
![]() Technically, I wasn't totally done - I was missing one lock rod knob. It arrived today and my son Joseph wanted to make the installation. He wanted to be able to say "...my Dad started this but I was the one that finished it!" LOL! ![]() Now it's done. ![]()

Re: Intro from an old Assembly Plant guy
Where did you get the door panels? They look like they fit pretty good. Thanks
Oh and are those tomatoes next to your truck, all of ours burned up months ago? ![]()

Re: Intro from an old Assembly Plant guy
Yes - those are from LMC.
I wasn't sure I was going to like them, because they are "blow molded" rather than injection molded - but - by the time you dress them out with the original trim, door handle pockets, arm rests, etc they look good to me. Yes - we have a few tomatos left. We've had a very cool summer so no concerns with them "burning up". K
