Re: What did you do to your truck today part III

Pimpston65--get one of these to work with your stud gun. I wish i had one when i pulled some dents. It keeps you from pulling the dents out too far. You still need the slide hammer for some tough ones.

I shipped out Pimpston65's steering column and ordered a new front parking brake cable from Inline Tube. Not much else beyond that.
