My truck fights me. - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

sleepyboy · 03-03-2006, 10:38 AM

Seems my truck fights me tooth and nail on things I do. I just finished my "bolt in" LMC hitch receiver behind a flip down license plate and roll pan on a 3/5 drop truck. To get the hitch where I wanted it, I had to cut the ends off, flip the whole thing, drill it, weld new brackets on it, and finally weld it in. My "Painless wiring harness" wasn't SO painless trying to match the Vintage Air, Dakota Digital, and MSD ignition box into it. In the end, it is worth it and fun; but man, do any parts go together easily??

Simple answer is NO

Would you want it any other way.

Yeah what cdowns said plus we didn't have much money so we really had to scronge for stuff and be inventive.

If it was easy, everbody'd be doing it.

If it went in easy than some thing is missing or wrong

Whenever something doesn't need to be modified to work or all the parts are included, I think s*** must have done something wrong...

There's a reason it's called "working" on your truck.
