Re: What did you do with your truck today, Part 3
I have been thinking of having the space around my rear window painted in white. I then thought what happens if I don't like it. So I came up with the idea after watching my son and his friends wrapping there import with vinyl. I found a local place to do so. Well, here it is.

Re: What did you do with your truck today, Part 3
I think it looks pretty cool and the face that you can remove it, how cool is that! But I think it works pretty good on your truck.
Very nice looking truck for sure! Brian

Re: What did you do with your truck today, Part 3
I put my five minutes in on my truck working on the front hubs, that's it, removed the bearing races now that I know they work on the truck spindles, and have the new bearings ordered. Ok, that was my five minutes on my stuff.
Then I put 96 "five minutes" on my brothers 39 Ford dash board. HOLY CRAP that thing kicked my butt, I just finished up on the body work at 10 oclock! Geeez, haven't done that in years. Brian

Re: What did you do with your truck today, Part 3
There are some disadvantages to living in a rural area. For example, it's an hour-and-a-half round trip to the hardware store. And I've had to make the trip twice in two days just get a few random pieces to finish my window roller project.
Today I removed my left window regulator, cleaned and lubed it, cut away the old slider stub, installed my makeshift roller and tested it. It works smooth and slick. Gee, only 3 days work and 150 miles driving to fabricate a $15.00 part...

Re: What did you do with your truck today, Part 3
Window rebuild continues. Today I put screws into the vent window channel to secure the felt, then repainted the frame. Spent the afternoon sanding my inside window moldings; will paint them tomorrow if the weather allows.

Re: What did you do with your truck today, Part 3
Does this qualify? Added Angry Bird eyebrows. Must be a cool thing to do, all the custom Jeeps have this look.

Re: What did you do with your truck today, Part 3
OMG it blows my ever lovin mind to think about what the have for these trucks today! I got mine 45 years ago, if someone would have told me even many years after that someone one day would make the stuff they do like that frame or new steel cabs and fenders I would have fell on the floor laughing it was such a ridiculously stupid thought. And here it is, amazing!

Re: What did you do with your truck today, Part 3
I installed the window fuzzies today. I guess they're an anti-rattle device? In the past I've glued these on, but this time I riveted them.
