If those before and after pictures don't give you a warm, fuzzy feeling, then I don't know what to say. Those bedsides turned out very nice

Thanks.. both sides was rough under all the layers of paint and bondo.. but there was no rust at all, so I had no choice but to save them and put the money elsewhere... The back corners are the biggest challenge of all...

@ Possum ;

You're doing a really good job there and giving confidence to others to try it , always a good thing .

Thanks Nate.. I dont have a big fancy shop or all the fancy tools to be doing a restoration like this but I make due with what I do have and just go at it.. Its the first one I've gone this deep into and I'm have a good time doing it. Like my signature says... Just gotta get in there and do it. Lots of lessons learned and lots of knuckles busted, but You can never learn unless you "Just Do It"

Just so ~ .

I no longer have / work in a Shop and I never was any good at body works but I agree : dive in and have a go ! .

It's usually cheaper and if you enjoy it , can be very rewarding .

Your works here are OUTSTANDING :metal: .

Lets see, last weekend I installed my new 2" drop rear coil springs and found it too raise it instead of lowering it. I did some investigating and came up with the springs were boxed wrong, they are from The Truck Shop. I called POL as they are were The Truck Shop gets the springs from and started asking questions about them and they confirmed Boxed wrong.

So now this weekend they come out and will be returning to The Truck Shop for my money back and will go by POL and get the right ones.

Pic shows what a 2" drop spring looks like installed

That looks great! I was thinking about doing this too but I think it might just end up being a road plow.

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
 

Been a while in the making, but I got my Vintage Air hose kit crimped up by a local hydraulic shop, buttoned up with the new drier, and vacuumed, oiled, and charged up by my go-to shop for the stuff I can't figure out or do myself. Tightened up the belts cause they were squealing like a stuck pig after sitting for a few months...cool and quiet. Ordering up hose separators and tie downs so the damn zip ties don't break and drop the a/c lines on the alternator pulley and saw a hole in them which caused this headache in the first place.
