Thanks.....After looking again...... Guess I'll use some short valve covers since these heads have the raised lips, they should clear the roller rockers.

Well 198plus based on the work I have seen on Alans project your ins great hands.

Looking good

[198plus]

Ran in to another problem......Figures ....... I posted how good my headers fit and they do, but number two and three cylinder spark plugs hit the headers with the angle plug heads.......So I have to run Accel shorty plugs.....Problem solved, I hope.

[4dranch]

If that's your only problem you ought to be thanking the good lord....Congrats. and your rig is looking sharp.

[198plus]

Well I got bored today and started bolting stuff back together. New doors fit really well, and new fenders fit pretty good......I'm just trying to get everything put back together to see if I really have a truck

[northern 85]

Lookin Good!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[scotts62]

Wow thats looking good with all the new panels

[daverod]

Where did you get your fenders. Did they fit ok? Your truck is coming together. Did you ever figure out why it was uneven in the back?

[198plus]

Thanks !!!!!!

Got the fenders from Goodmark, they look pretty good only problem I see I'm going yo have to cut a little place on top lip where it mates with the inner fender so it can slide forward about 1/8" .........I'm pretty sure its the springs I'm going to lower the truck next week, should solve the problem.....I hope

[198plus]

I got a fender from ccgtruck on ebay and the fit is excellent but same thing have to trim top lip where it meets the inner fender cowl area. $219.00 shipped. BTW trucks looking good.

I think I've heard that "Checks in the mail" stuff before. Why is your garage so empty? You need to get some posters and some tools and stuff and stuff in there. You know turn it into the man cave.I like this poster. Just trying to give you some ideas.

[daverod]

This is what it should look like. The idea is to get so much stuff in there that your truck can't fit.

[198plus]

Because I'm broke......I do have tools........ Desk, Stereo, ashtray, pack of smokes, phone charger, clock, and a chair........Few spiders too ?????

Guess I do need some posters and I'll get pole for some of the girls from the (PINK PONY) to keep me entertained

I'm liking the pole idea. Maybe a removable one so when the old lady is home you can just stash it somewhere. I think I would like this pony place. Ya, from what I saw on the web I think it's my kinda place. I'll have to go there when I get a chance. We have next to nothing in Idaho.

[ruffrida2005]

Me and Dave are gonna come visit you when you get the pole. gotta see the pink pony

[daverod]

I was thinking that's why he's broke. I'll bet that pink pony place could be hard on your wallet.

[198plus]

I'm trying to set all the body lines on my truck and I'm not no body man, I need help. I Put my tail gate on and I have a problem, The back left corner of tail gate does not line up.....The other side is fine, I've loosened all bolts to try to line it up and still no luck. I don't think its the tailgate warped at least I hope not after all the money I spent on it......Any suggestions ?????

[daverod]

Maybe your truck is warped. Maybe take your tailgate off and put it on a flat surface to see if it's warped or the truck bedsides. I'll bet you might have to adjust the bedsides alittle. Don't really know. I think I would try to bend it a little. Put a block of wood on the other side then push on the side that wont shut. Maybe try to get a tree involved somehow. Looks warped. If you move the other sides bottom out it would help it. Maybe it's one of those ones you just have to slam really hard. I have one on my Ford like that.

It's hard to see everything that might be wrong in the pic. But almost anything can be repaired. It all depends on the experience level and or how deep the pockets are.

Talked to Ronnie earlier and he said he leveled the bed up and the Tailgate looks alot better. I also mentioned the block of wood to twist it if he needs too..
