Y'all ain't gonna belive this!

So, we're going to paint on the 21st of July. Cab and doors and bed are done and cut in. Swapping cabs this weekend. Front clip is done at the blasters, back home today. Took all the misc front end hardware including the special nuts and bolts to the platers along with the striker plates, door latches, hood hinges, bolts for the door hinges and all the tailgate hardware. Made a smokin deal on a nice set of 8" Rallies yesterday, and the plater's BURNED TO THE GROUND LAST NIGHT. Seriously.

BAHAAHAhahahahah! (I can't do anything but laugh at this point.) So, heeeeeeeere we go a-hunting parts! Sorry, just had to vent.

Re: Y'all ain't gonna belive this!

Oh, I'm hip, it's pretty minor in the grand scheme, but come on, really? Tha special stuff was like the screws for the door hinges, the big washered bolts for the inner fenders, all the factory washered bolts for the front clip, that kinda stuff. Well be ok.

Brothers sells most of these and they are not real expensive. Not sure about the latch screws. Most look excatly like the originals with black phosphate coatings. At least here in SoCal they are much cheaper new than to get replated.
