72 K20 Cab Body & Paint Complete!

[72KAY20]

Thanks all for the truck compliments. Am very happy with how it is turning out. Got some more work done today.

Installed some stainless steel rivnuts on the front grill today. Had read about them on a post the other day and then found them on e bay. 25 pcs for $9.99. Also installed 1 piece of upper trim on the driver's door. Was worried that the mirror tripod was going to hit the trim piece but it cleared it by about a 1/16".

Primed the back of the front bumper and also underneath the windshield cowl panel with POR15 primer. Tomorrow I will top coat the backs with black POR15.

Decide to install a hitch receiver behind the front license plate. My brother and I have a 10,000 lb winch mounted on a portable fixture that slide into a trailer hitch receiver. Thought it would be cool to be able to fold the license plate down and have a "hidden" receiver. Some pics below of me cutting a small square out of the bumper behind the license plate area.

Plan for tomorrow afternoon is for Bill P and I to install the rest of the upper and lower trim pieces.
