Re: What did you do to your truck today part II.
This weekend I got the dynamat put down in the cab, still need to do the doors.
  Then the carpet came in Saturday via Fed Ex, bought from stock interiors and this is the plush carpet. It fit very well, pretty pleased with it.    Trimmed in.      Oh, and I also installed those Honda door seals, they fit sweet.. |

Re: What did you do to your truck today part II.
Well after realizing that I ordered the steel strips instead of the stainless I realized that I would have to paint my strips to keep them from rusting. I was going to go with a slightly darker "pecan" stain on the bed wood but with them being painted I liked the lighter wood so I went with a clear.
I had never done anything like this before and I know buying the kit may have been easier but this way was a lot cheaper and I do take some satisfaction in knowing that we did this all ourselves. That said......glad to be done with the bed. That is a crap load of bolts to put in. I still have to do the bed to frame bolts and the very front row of bolts but other than that its done.

Re: What did you do to your truck today part II.
Alan - truck looks fantastic! Loved pic 4 and 5.
Got the PS Door metalwork done and it's a bit wavy here and there... but I hope not too bad for all the effort it took. It was my first attempt at such a repair. Started the filler work. bob |

JWheeler331, should've bought a stepside, would've been less hassle, lol.

Funny thing is.......this was originally a step side. I traded the step side bed for the fleet side. I like the way it turned out though. |

Re: What did you do to your truck today part II.
Unloaded this off my trailer. I will put it aside for future just in case I dislike a stock truck. It will be my turbocharged pro tour truck in waiting.

Re: What did you do to your truck today part II.
We have been bailing & hauling hay. My wife drove the GMC while I loaded the hay. the granny low 4 speed is ideal for creeping around the field. I really like using old equiptment. My 1944 LP M farmall cost $325. The international sickle bar mower cost $110 the side delivery hay rake cost $120. the Model 273 New Holland Hay Bailer cost $425 all the equiptment was purchased at auction sales. had one breakdown broke a shear pin on the bailer. quick fix with another 7/16 bolt. the $400 66 GMC that I saved from the scrap man never overheated and never missed a beat! So we have the winters hay all safe in the barn.

Re: What did you do to your truck today part II.
i'll have to upload a picture, but I ended up swapping the Jeep TJ coils in with some Monroe Air shocks to help fine tune the height. It's VERY comfortable this way.

Re: What did you do to your truck today part II.
I have change the insidebottom and I´m going to change the outer doorskin to, but befor I weld the new sheetmetal I have to wait for the doorglas channels, since it have to be much simplier to change that parts before I weld.
