Got it from Outback Truck Parts. Not sure of the brand, but it's a standard bezel in all chrome.

Finished up the complete overhaul of the rear brakes, and rearend. All new springs, shoes and drums. All new axle bearings and seals. New rearend gasket,and fresh 80w 90. Put the new driveshaft in. All new U Joints and Carrier Bearing. Had it extended 2 5/8". Fit like a charm. At least something went in without A fight or trip to the Parts Store!.
It got too dark for pics. will take some and post later today.

Plan on getting the door seals and new regulators in today.

For the first time since I bought my truck 11 months ago... I actually used it as a truck. Hauled a bed in it.

Hard Luck · 02-06-2012, 03:56 AM

Turned this...into this!

mcmlxix · 02-06-2012, 04:24 AM

Finally got my LQ9 home...

Nope. Wait, I think I can hear other truckers crying right now.

trev1 · 02-08-2012, 07:55 PM

Finally got a new windshield installed. Glass company came out to my shop(10 miles from town) installed the windshield. $150.00 total. Took him 30 min and he did a great job.

Earl Junior · 02-08-2012, 08:08 PM

I stared at it longingly as I stumbled past the shop on my way to work. I imagine I'll do the same when I get home at 10:30.

pat 70/71 · 02-08-2012, 09:18 PM

I started my 70 stepper& was only going to drive it around the building but, once I got going I drove it for an hour good stuff! cheers, Pat

trev1 · 02-08-2012, 10:09 PM

Rebuilt both drivers and passenger side wing windows. All new rubber seals and rivits. Took about an hour and a half per side. The hardest part was getting the window into the channel with the rubber seal!.

Here are some pics!

67Slider · 02-08-2012, 10:24 PM

Worked on restoring a set of seat belt retractors and painting an amrest.

67lowered · 02-09-2012, 12:04 AM

Using signals in Cali is like giving out secrete information to the enemy... besides, when you signal, it alerts the other drive to speed up and block you...

I installed ONE furd mirror on the door. I need to adjust the hole a little bit and then duplicate the measuremens on the driver side....
