Laid off from work... now have time to start body work!
Laid off from work recently, the weather is getting nicer around here, and I have some saved up money. Perfect opportunity to start the body work on my truck.
I have 2 great oem fenders to put on, doors to swap, a complete used bed to swap over, new cab corners and a rocker to put on. My goal origionally was to also lower the truck while the bed was off but since I have been laid off, I think I will have to pass on that for now and just focus on the body work. Some questions before I start. My truck has the windshield antenna (not currently hooked up) but the fender has an aftermarket antenna. The used fender I bought also has an aftermarket antenna. I don't want an ugly antenna sticking out of the fender, so I am going to remove it, fill the hole, and use the windshield antenna. Where is the antenna wire hookup for this? Do they work well? All I see is the aftermarket antenna wire under my dash. Also, should I use zerorust or just a DIY bedliner to undercoat the underneath of the bed and frame rails? I would think zero rust has less prep work since it will adhere to rust. I've had good luck with it before. Any good tips for the replacement cab corners and rocker? The rocker panel I bought is fullsize and the cab corners are "supersize". I will have the truck sprayed at maaco. Should I remove as many moldings as possible, chrome, bumpers, etc? The bed, fenders, and doors I am swapping are going to be primed, so I guess I mine as well DA the cab/hood so it is entirely prepped? Also, the door I am swapping over does not have tint on the glass. I am not replacing my other door since it is fine but it does have dark cheap DIY tint. What is the best way to remove tint? Any other recommendations greatly appreciated.
