Re: What did you do to your truck today!
Just installed a new front bumper, I can' believe I waited so long. Trying to figure out how to install new leather seats I just scored. If anyone has installed seats from a Honda Odyssey, please let me know. The have hooks that attach to the floor boards. I think they were the second row seats. (two buckets and a center seat/console). Help.....Thanks

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
Added a rear chrome sport bumper. Then added the Chase Chevrolet license frame which is where the truck was originally sold from.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
Shawn, truck looks 100% better with that bumper and frame......but your license plate needs to come home with me for a few days!

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
I agree 100% but I don't think your wife can paint the holes closed....or can she?? The front plate is not to bad but the rear has issues.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
Aventur1- I had seen some of the guys on the site cover up the gas hole with the gas cap and a screw. I had relocated the gas tank but didn't want to patch up the hole.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
IDK if this counts, but my truck likes to work. She doesn't care too much about looking pretty either.
And, just making sure the neighbor's house stays standing. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mkdrL_kskqI

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
Replaced valve covers and air cleaner. Got new spark plug wires and rerouted them to clean things up. Pretty happy with the results.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
Painted one of my doors. Got a bit of orange peel in it, I guess that's what 2000 grit sand paper is for.

Re: What did you do to your truck today!
Put my tailgate letters on, along with my new sterring wheel too. I kept it original with the horn button but it was a good day.
