It's coming along great, man. I'm going to honor you with the official title of "Turd Polisher". I guess you can do that after all  |
Die!?! We weren't going to die! Maybe just take out a tree. As far as the turd thing, I am positive there is a diamond in the rust.
I really wasn't expecting this turd bucket to be fast. I did put new brake pads on and they'd been tested that day, promise. Maybe we should've gotten a better seat rather than using a bucket.

Yes, I still have the marker lights, I pulled the lenses off, I've not decided whether or not to keep them. I've never seen a truck with marker lights slammed, other than a dually. As far as the welding, I had pretty good penetration for the most part. I'll try cranking up the heat on the other side and see if I get better results.
I know LMC sells the marker lights for $10 each on page 156.

Thanks, I feel lucky, it could always be worse. The best part about the floor is I'm half-way done.
If you've noticed my pictures aren't coming up, my server will be down until sometime Monday.
I got my airbags and valves on Thursday. I spent Friday and Saturday cleaning up the frame and rear suspention and painted it black, I spent today cutting the drivers side rockerpanel and floor. I'll post pictures as soon as the server comes up.
