Project 78 High Sierra

[JRANGER]

nice

[JRANGER]

got most of the plywood up....Unfortunately my neighbor was MIA so i had to do it by myself...What a pain in the butt

[JRANGER]

Finished the plywood and caulked a bunch of gaps...Still need to caulk the top against the roof. Also need to sand the excess off as it looks like i went nuts lol

Will be putting some felt on the walls thanks to the advise of RUSbuilt

[UPNADM]

That will come in handy for sure... Good addition!

[JRANGER]

indeed...will get alll the parts and tools out of my house too lol

[motornut]

looks good and solid,use lots of screws
plywoods better idea ,the particle board dosn't hold up
heard of peoples older garage walls/siding pulled away,
gained access breaking the particle board,
even right beside the door,and reaching around to unlock

[JRANGER]

Well i smoothed the caulk and started painting.. Behr Premium Plus Exterior color matched to my vinyl siding...

Got it all done and luckily it dried since some rouge storm hit out of no where!! UGH!!!!!!! But its done and it didnt wash off... I have some fixing to do as I just figured out the supports are actually water channels as well... So the outside wall leaks onto the top of the wall.

I have some silicon to put in the channel on the top of the screws and some spray foam to go into the small gap just about the top of the wall

[JRANGER]

Oil Change, Sea Foam, Installed new pedals, drivers door panel, and door lock

[JRANGER]

Once im done with the workshop im going to get the bed off.Fix the cab corners, and start stripping her down

Nice! Hows your tailgate?

[JRANGER]

pretty dented up and rusty...It may be repairable..not sure yet
Handles jacked and its hard to close so will need new hardware

[thelonerife]

I've got one you can have next time your up near Clarksville

[thelonerife]

Oh. And its near perfect. Its a gmc but I think the gmc is on one side. Can't remember.

[JRANGER]

awesome!!!! Ill have to set up a trip in a week or so and bring you some cash...Thats awesome...Ive been all over pick a part looking for them...Its not a Chevy embedded on is it?

[thelonerife]

I'll consider it a donation to your build. I don't even have a truck this year but the tailgate was so sweet I didn;t want them to crush it. It has GMC on the left or right in the middle or indention part of the gate. I tried to sell it a while back but nobody wanted it so I put it in the shed. I'll see if I can find a pic.

[JRANGER]

awesome!! Well im still gonna give you a finders fee or something!! Still sounds sweet...Plus i can get the truck out on a longer driver to see how well it does

[thelonerife]

Here it is. I'll make sure I still have it tomorrow. But I'm sure I do.

[JRANGER]

looks good!!! Mine had the insert and it looks like i might even be able to work that in....

Thanks man!!!
Will probably be close to the 15th but if you have ill grab it then

[thelonerife]

The inside looks worse than what it is. Its straight. I'll make sure I still have it tomorow and pm you.

[JRANGER]

cool sounds good...Nothing a little elbow grease cant fix

[trout]

just to let you know the small gmc insert will not fit in that tail gate you will have to use the lager one and the hard wear for the tail gate is diffrent you will have to find 81-87 henges on your 78 bed but it will fit
