Let's Build A 1 Ton Crew Cab 4x4 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I have seen guys just weld the carriage bolts to the bumper and grind off the head, but haven't done so myself.

I got the newly modified front tank mounting bracket installed. I'm waiting on the tank insulation to arrive before reinstalling it.

I even played around and put the fuel door on. I'm really liking how it turned out.

Next I started working on the tailgate band. I originally wasn't planning to run one so I ordered a new tailgate without holes. Now I am considering whether to double side tape it or add the holes. Luckily someone on a Facebook group was nice enough to go measure their gate and give me dimensions.

I took it apart to fix the dents and weld the holes. It will be blacked out with the rest of the truck.

I also saw a picture of these very interesting door panels but no one knew who made them. Anyone seen these in a thread before?

I'm in love with these LS-Fab billet anodized door handles.
