Grill was worse than I first thought but it’s all welded up . Didn’t get to fussy with the lower attachment area .

A simple engine swap that has turned into all new bearings and a crank from a different engine.

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter

Installed the new Precision push on door seals . Install was super easy and the door closes fairly nice I didn’t have readjust it at all . Little slam not hard a slam but I’m sure it will crush as time goes on .I did have to cut it but a good set of metal scissors worked well , purchased from GMCPAULS .

I got the same ones, also from gmcpauls. I have to really slam hard. I guess I need to mess with adjustment.

Thanks for the post. I have the same seals and was wondering how hard/easy they might be to install. Is there adhesive behind the original seals ?

It’s a firm close but not hard slam . Guess I hit it right at the sweet spot installing the door .

Super easy to install took all of 5 minutes . I use a small rubber mallet to seat the seal . It takes a little back and forth roll to get the lip over the seam by hand then set it with the mallet . I didn’t use adhesive but there were no instructions so I winged it . I was going to use the Honda seals but they are no longer available and I wasn’t going to put used on it .

Now we shall see how the windshield goes in next week . I bought the precision rubber for that too .

This last weekend I installed one of those plate mounts to tuck the LP up - I thought it turned out really well.

Some great work guys. I like the electric fan in the stock shroud. Good Idea and very clean looking.

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter

Last body panels in high build primer . Dark grey is epoxy prime the body supply had no black and it’s been on back order for 6 weeks .Hopefully paint on Wednesday suppose to be warm enough .

The fender was much worse than I had expected . Took a lot more time just to save the triangles . I could have just worked a new one and welded these onto it

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter

Did the drivers side inner skirt . Was going to paint the passenger also but noticed a few holes that weren’t suppose to be there . Not rust but mounting holes for something . I may redo the hood latch . Not liking the little pits .

Got bored the other evening so I took a set of stainless bolts and polished them up for the perimeters of my wheel housings.
