Re: The Snortin' bull
Got a spare tailgate from a buddy today.I got a plan for it.Not sure what the previous owner was doing with it.Check out the bracket's bolted to it.No pivot's or chain lock tab's.

Re: The Snortin' bull
Looks great!
Someone asking if your trucks for sale is an ego stroke for sure! |

Re: The Snortin' bull
The right door relay to latch was a problem.It kept jambing.In the past if you look hard a sheet metal screw was used to hold the pivot together.This flexed and trapped everbody as it would not release latch. Had to get a new one. At the same putting a lock cylinder in rh o/s handle.

Both financially and more importantly..... Emotionally, to know what you have and are doing is noticed. I think these trucks are definitely getting more attention now. The tailgate idea is great for your style truck. I want to find the letters off a Stepside tailgate for the same reason.

Re: The Snortin' bull
After acquiring a couple sets of aftermarket halogen and hid bulb
housings that sucked and housings poorly made that would not even accept the bulbs .I chose just to put in halogen Phillips bulbs.

Re: The Snortin' bull
The truck with almost 500 miles on it now has been for the most part tight and rides and drives nice, The tailgate though over bumps rattle and clanked, I had some leftover sections of inner door weather strip left over that fit the edge of the gate and snugs up to bed, Tacked them on problem solved.I also found putting the chains and hooks inverted helps relieving chain smacking around.

Re: The Snortin' bull
Door lock's. Original right outside handle's had no lock cylinder's .Though in the past some tried to get trick.Check picture's.It didn't work. In the month of driving to much attention is occurring. New lock's in both handle's . And a new relay rod now also in left door.
