Re: bed off....Pics!
Chrome Ralley Vette wheels came from a guy in Florida that was a dealer selling them new on Ebay. Try typing in chrome ralleys on ebay search. The wheels are made by Pacer Wheels. Derby caps were not cheap!!!
Cab Protection: Long time tile contractor I am...we use a paper called Aqua-Bar over the house studs pre cement for water-proofing. So I just "Blue taped" the back section of the cab with Aqua-Bar paper. Blast away!!! Everything is apart, trailing arms have been all cleaned up and painted. ECE 4" drop springs have been re-painted to match the front Ground Force springs. Rear Diff is un-attached and soaking in oven cleaner. Just knocked off all the crud...blasting tomorrow morning, painting it right after, and re-assembly will start. Pics to follow! Last edited by ChevyDude; 06-11-2006 at 12:12 AM. |

Re: bed off....Pics!
Little more progress... Everything is now cleaned, de-rusted, primed and painted. Ran a bead or 35 year paintable acrylic latex caulk down the center of the T arms...no more water or crud to get in there! I will be waiting on the Poly trailing arms bushing...then re-assembly and install FuelCellGuy Tank and fuel lines. Was it worth all the effort.....every freekin bit of it!!!
 Differential is now hammered black paint, new looking and sweet!!! Last edited by ChevyDude; 06-11-2006 at 02:31 PM. |

LOL!!! I took the whole summer off last year and never touched my truck, so I'm making up for lost time. I had set a personal goal of having it move on it's own power by the end of summer. We'll see if I make it??? Last edited by ChevyDude; 06-11-2006 at 07:08 PM. |
