Gonna be pretty dang sharp when you finish up these final touches. Twas wondering about the chains, too, but not being a stepside guy, I didn't know what you guys did with those.

thanks a lot for the kind words. when I am done you will want to sell your truck and buy a short step side. Ha Ha I will be putting a set of chain guards on but have not ordered them yet.

gdavis · 05-20-2014, 09:19 PM

today, the three key set came in. 2 door and ignition all matching. So I installed the ignition switch and the cigarette lighter. I don't smoke but it at least it will fill up the hole in the dash. I might even leave it disconnected so no one will be tempted to use it. This truck will be a non smoking truck.

Today, I installed the drivers side door lock.

gdavis · 05-23-2014, 06:39 PM

Got the other side done. Now I am waiting for the gaskets for the door handles to come in.

gdavis · 05-24-2014, 06:52 PM

Hey guys do anyone have a set of gaskets for a exterior door handle. Mine went a walking I guess.

Mustard72 · 05-25-2014, 01:38 AM

Dang walking gaskets...

A new set is 4.00 plus 3.95 shipping. 7.95 I might as well as look and see if I can find a piece of this rubber and try and make a set. The worst that can happen is that I can't. and I am in no worse shape.

Took the holiday off and spent it with the family. It rained here every day this week. We had dime size hail and winds up to 45. Maybe next week will be better.

Good for you!
I'm sure they are grateful to have a family as much as you are greatful for the joy they bring to you.

gdavis · 05-28-2014, 07:46 PM

Dean/ swamp rat you only get one chance in life to show the family that matter. My oldest which is 9 helped me with building a outside swing. (Honey doo) I let him use the cordless drill. with me watching of course. drilling pre holes for the screws on the swing. These boy are what you call special needs children. they have special needs like all boys.
Here is a picture of the swing thus far with out the arm rest. another day and wifey will be happy.

swamp rat · 05-29-2014, 01:02 AM

Nice bench!

chevy88 · 05-29-2014, 01:14 AM

My door handle gaskets are two years old and dry cracked. Truck is inside 90% of the time and is never driven in winter, they came com LMC. I hope you find better quality ones than what I got.

Might be another reason to make your own.

Nice bench, George. Fun working on that stuff with kids.

gdavis · 05-29-2014, 10:08 PM

swamp rat, Kerry, Nick. Started on the arms on the bench seat and something hit me like a ton of bricks. I got so sick, it must have been something I have eaten. I only got one arm done before I called it a day. I enjoyed working with the boys. I will finish it tomorrow.

I don't know if it was or not. But it is better now and thanks for asking. God Bless

gdavis · 05-30-2014, 08:32 PM

Today, I finished the Honey doo outside swing.

Mustard72 · 05-30-2014, 09:22 PM

That was quick. Glad you're feeling better.

Hopefully you don't put cushions on that bench or it will be do comfortable you never get the truck done.

looks good, though.

cubber · 05-31-2014, 08:29 AM

George, when you finish your truck, I bet you'll sit on that swing and stare at it. When I got my truck back together, I used to just sit in the shop and look at it sometimes.
