Gotcha, buried the plate on my roll pan and notched the rear bed sill, and unless you're 20' back you can't read the state on the top part.

Re: off it goes
we finally got the doors and the one piece windows where we want them...
when glass was up, it had a small gap at the front of the door so we corrected that problem



next issue, window didn't roll all the way down in the door, so we trimmed the stops

Wow. Congrats on getting it to paint. I bet telling your metal fab guy you're done was like quitting crack.

We want to help! So how about you allow us to vote on what color you should paint this "guys" truck, ha ha

I say go for that fake patina look, yeah, my vote is for rusty looking fake patina, that should complement all the nice metal work, and those perfect gaps

Re: off it goes
I hope it's going back the same colors, that's a combo seldom used.

Re: off it goes
When you removed the bracket on the firewall for the steering and brakes, did you do anything inside the cab to reinforce it?
