I know what your saying about that mod on tailgate, Like to have never figured out how to get mine out that tight spot, I thought it was like the 70's models just lift one side out of the slot then wa-la...Looks like a good way to scratch up some fresh paint...

Nice!

well i got the tailgate modded, and while looking at my tailgate chains that were bent and worn that i painted. pretty sad, so ordered some new stainless ones. I also painted the inside of my hood and built a new park/turn sig. harness.

Great job.....truck is looking awesome!!!!

Although not original....I'm also a fan of the stainless hardware on the back of the trucks.

my truck is not all org anyway--different eng/wheels/tires. It will look pretty much stock otherwise.

Thank you for the photos of the bumper! Looks just like a factory install!

bhc--short beds have not much room in the rear frame rails. long bed have much more room.

I went back and looked but didn't see any posts where you mentioned the tire size you went with? Apologies if I missed it, but would love to know the size of the Mastercrafts you have on there.

[61K10]

LuckeyL--they are 31x10.50-15's on 8" rims.

[LuckyLightning]

They look great, thanks for providing the size.

I bet a shim on the bottom hinge will help fix that. Also, you used the Honda civic door seals, right? Just a pain trying to adjust by yourself. use a floor jack and something to keep from scratching the paint to hold it up while up tap in the shims.

Looks, good! I'll trade ya, mine for yours! LOL

[TJ's Chevy]

Looking good dude! Yeah...heard about the fire near ya. Hope ya'all stay safe! And hope some of Oregon's rain comes down yer way!

[61K10]

forgot about my new air cleaner. was tired of the old regular kind. bought one of the caddy/olds repop air cleaner.

[61K10]

Mitch--the door closes but you have to slam it. if i adj. it so it closes easy the rear door edge sticks out from the cab. will worry about it later. I have missed placed the window bottom regulator tracks that the roller slides in for both doors. might be at my buddy's that blasted my stuff?

TJ--this fire is going nuts!!! now at near 100,000 ac and 5% containment. gained 50,000 ac just last night. WE NEED RAIN!!! luckily it's going away from my area.

If you can't find them, let me know I have an extra set that came with a couple of doors, that I'm not gonna use. Or any other of the gut parts of the doors.

[61K10]

update on the fire--just 71.000ac--don't believe the news. some aho-e set the fire. in custody.

[TJ's Chevy]

Yeah...we have plenty of those types of people around here...I won't say the name we call them. lol

[61K10]

some new bling!

[RANDY COX]

Lookin good Kimble, Bling Bling away....

[61K10]

thanks Randy--bling to me is like the green on your eng!!!

[61K10]

Mitch---I'm just old and can't see anymore lol! the door pieces that i thought was lost were in the doors all the time. they are about 4" long and welded to the door. the d/s door is done, and the window even goes up and down. Amazing!!

[TJ's Chevy]

The new bling is a nice touch.

[JWheeler331]

Man, you are doing absolutely beautiful work.

[61K10]

Thanks JW---your tk is looking pretty nice also, and your work looks top notch.

I hung the d/s fender on, still needs a little adj. when the other side is done then i will do final adjustment. the color sure changes out in the sun compared to in the garage.
