Cool, what are your plans for it.

mas09ts · 03-04-2011, 01:32 AM

Well I did have plans to fix a few small spots, spray some rocker guard on my steps on the bed and spray a little bit of primer, but I've not had time to do anything yet. And of course they're calling for rain this weekend so who knows haha.

Nope not that I could tell and I looked it over really good. I have no idea.

mas09ts · 07-29-2011, 11:52 PM

Well its back together now, installed a new alternator, and plug wires. Hoping to get the inside painted. Got new bumpers and such ordered. heres a couple pics........

mas09ts · 07-29-2011, 11:58 PM

Oh and I think that my hood hinges and springs have sprung. . .

Drivers side. . .

Passenger Side. . .

VA72C10 · 07-30-2011, 12:32 AM

Looks good. Before replacing the hinges try just greasing them up and working them up and down. Or...on the side it's up in the back....loosen the bolts that hold it to the fender then lift it as high as you can on that front corner and have someone tighten them for you.

Thanks I'll try that

mas09ts · 10-22-2011, 05:10 PM

Well its back to just needing paint now, well that and the exhaust finished and some brake work. Got it all put back together and the interior painted on the new cab. New bumpers, grille painted, all primed on the outside. Finally found a tailgate, it needs the most bodywork of anything on the truck haha but it was a score for 20 bucks. Id like to find a seat that has the seatbelts already integrated into them. Heres a couple pics to get you updated.

mas09ts · 10-22-2011, 05:14 PM

Heres some of the inside. (Glovebox door is gettin re-sprayed)

VA72C10 · 10-22-2011, 05:14 PM

Very nice! Looking great!
