well i got the tailgate modded, and while looking at my tailgate chains that were bent and worn that i painted. pretty sad, so ordered some new stainless ones. I also painted the inside of my hood and built a new park/turn sig. harness.

Great job.....truck is looking awesome!!!!

Although not original....I'm also a fan of the stainless hardware on the back of the trucks.

my truck is not all org anyway--different eng/wheels/tires. It will look pretty much stock otherwise.

I went back and looked but didn't see any posts where you mentioned the tire size you went with? Apologies if I missed it, but would love to know the size of the Mastercrafts you have on there.

I bet a shim on the bottom hinge will help fix that. Also, you used the Honda civic door seals, right? Just a pain trying to adjust by yourself. use a floor jack and something to keep from scratching the paint to hold it up while up tap in the shims.

Looks, good! I'll trade ya, mine for yours! LOL

Looking good dude! Yeah...heard about the fire near ya. Hope ya'all stay safe! And hope some of Oregon's rain comes down yer way! :chevy:

Mitch--the door closes but you have to slam it. if i adj. it so it closes easy the rear door edge sticks out from the cab. will worry about it later. I have missed placed the window bottom regulator tracks that the roller slides in for both doors. might be at my buddy's that blasted my stuff?

TJ--this fire is going nuts!!! now at near 100,000 ac and 5% containment. gained 50,000 ac just last night. WE NEED RAIN!!! luckily it's going away from my area.

If you can't find them, let me know I have an extra set that came with a couple of doors, that I'm not gonna use. Or any other of the gut parts of the doors.

Mitch---I'm just old and can't see anymore lol! the door pieces that i thought was lost were in the doors all the time. they are about 4" long and welded to the door. the d/s door is done, and the window even goes up and down. Amazing!!

Thanks JW---your tk is looking pretty nice also, and your work looks top notch.

I hung the d/s fender on, still needs a little adj. when the other side is done then i will do final adjustment. the color sure changes out in the sun compared to in the garage.

Re: 61K10 build
 
Hey Kimble... What's it feel like to be a hood / fender from being 99% complete? :)

Looks good! And you'll get a lot of well earned compliments too!
