Just picked up some tires do a great deal last night. Almost brand new bfgoodrich premier touring radials for $100! They were just really dirty. This morning I went outside to look at them in the daylight and clean them. When cleaning them I discovered they were actually whitewalls! I had wanted whitewalls the whole time but I thought I couldn't afford them.

thanks guys, i wont be using them for at least a few months but i couldn't pass up the great deal. my plan is to have most of the bodywork done and have her reliable by summer, so i can actually drive it

got some work done on the truck yesterday. pushed it outside and got busy welding. welded in the filler neck patch, the door corner and a bedside patch. didn't get a chance to grind the welds down because it started snowing. ran into something odd on the door. looks like the factory put a thick layer of bondo on. it was under the factory primer.

Are you going to want to get them tires dirty after all that work?

You continue to impress me.

People often have no idea what hides under a bit (or a lot) of dirt.

Tyres look great.

Well done.

Tried upholstery for the first time with good results. The old armrest cover was cracked and dried so I made a new one out of some spare vinyl I had.

**Palf70Step** · 02-01-2016, 10:43 PM

Very Nice work!

TJ, I was going to ask him the same thing, but I figured it would actually be better to have door arm rests to begin with.

**Palf70Step** · 02-07-2016, 09:23 AM

Nice work!

I need a bunch of 4 day weekends on mine

Thanks bill, I agree with you on more long weekends.

62stepside longbox · 02-07-2016, 02:33 PM

well today I turned 16, the minimum age to go to picknpull

. So I'm going to do some hunting around at the yard today for some parts such as a slip yoke so I can get my driveshaft shortened. I'll also be getting my licence in a few days and want to have it ready for the road sometime soon so I can drive it
