Re: What did you do to your truck today?
Worked on the new bed wood from Classic Parts today. Whiteoak for the short step. Very pleased with quality! 1st pic is after the Minwax pretreat and conditioner. 2nd is after staining w/Early American Minwax. Spar Poly next and it'll be finished!

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
I put a new guage cluster from Dolphin in and replaced the 15 year old 5" round outside mirrors with the larger rectangle ones from Classic Parts. My old eyes are not what they used to be.

UPOL Raptor Bed Liner. A lot of people buy it from TP Tools. I was in a hurry so I bought mine locally and paid more for it. Make sure you get the kit complete with the gun. The threads are unique to UPOL bottles. I have a 3M Schutz gun but it won't screw onto the UPOL containers.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
My son came over this afternoon and helped out with the heavy lifting. Got the hood reinstalled, completing the project. I’m looking forward to doing something else for a while.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
Hauled my son in our town's Fourth of July parade this morning.
Now that I look at these pictures, it appears that I didn't get my door closed. |

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
Revoh,
How big is your town or was that the historic area? Looks like a neat parade.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
Hey Revoh, Really like your truck, I think i've seen it on here before? Looked like a fun parade. Are those 65 vette caps on the old girl?

Thanks! Yeah, I'm on here a lot. Those are from a '65 Corvette. I'll probably put the originals back on it eventually, but sometimes I get the urge to change things around for awhile. |
