Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
Picked up a tailgate and front bed panel off CL for cheap. They need a little work but they're better than what I got now which is no tailgate and a rotted front panel. Nothing a little hammer and dolly won't fix. The price was right.

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
Finally got the tailgate panel & trim installed on the tailgate today. Some before & after pics. Had to do something to cover up that hideous bondo job the PO thought at the time was cool to do a smooth tailgate.

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
Went to another junkyard and found an oem air cleaner and 8 lug wheels (white 16x 6.5) and hubcaps from a 72 suburban. After I left, I got my truck and put the wheels on to see if they would fit. They did like a glove. However the hubcaps...not even close on the rear. It didnt even cross my mind that the axles might be different. I found only 1 hubcap from 69 that fit my 3/4 ton. I found tons of 1/2 ton and later hubcaps. One down three to go...

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
Thanks Ole. It just seems to take some time & money to get these to where you can enjoy driving them. Next plan of attack will be installing the new dash, which means I've got to remove the radio, gauge cluster & glovebox liner. That will be a fun time.

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
Got my Gas door made & installed in my bed. Because my wood is not in the greatest shape, I made this unit in pieces. When I replace the wood I will make a 1 piece sheet metal drop in. What nice about this system is that you can see your gas level by just taking off the cap, also very easy to fill with no back splash.

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
I've never seen a cut like that before or in this location. What are your plans?
