Picked up some NOS axle seals for the posi conversion and only $9 for the set.....what a steal. Paint complete this weekend on cab and will try and get the bed back on tonight.
Will work on door reassembly this week.

Re: What did you do to your truck today part III
Hey, Palf70Step, saw your visors on the WDYDTYT II thread. Did your upholsterer do those or did you buy them somewhere? If you bought, can you share the source, those look great.

Re: What did you do to your truck today part III
Took a break from working on house stuff and spent a little time in the garage just fooling around. Got my bezel and tilt/turn sig levers painted I think it turned out pretty good.

Well, I walked by her today and realized it's about time to get busy. The weather is finally cooling off here in AZ and I will get after my '64 shortbed stepside here again shortly :-)
