is that flux core?

buckskins4ever · 04-17-2013, 09:24 PM

I decided to redo the kick panels in black and finished the Air ride gauge/switch panel with ostrich and formed side panels to hide gauges and wiring. Also blasted the glove box door and hinges then powder coated.
I love this look better. Really finished the interior.

**special-K** · 04-17-2013, 09:44 PM

On my tow truck I swapped the later plastic rectangle lights on the boom tower with 67-72 Stepside/Cab & Chassis tail lamps (round) and put a Y.O.M. license plate on it.

Me too.

Over the weekend I did use it to pick up some outdoor furniture. Took out the old seat cover because it had bad dandruff. It was so old, I didn't need anything to pull it apart.

SCHRUMGMC · 04-18-2013, 02:16 PM

Stared at a photo of the Truck, waiting to get it Sunday....Hopefully

excellent work! Where do you get the bearings, gaskets, snaprings, etc. in Sweden? And without O'Reilly's, Autozone, or Pep Boys---what do you do for aggravation?

In your photo where the drive line hooks up, mine is leaking at the plate where it bolts up to the main housing. Anything special I need to know when I unbolt everything to install new gasket? What's the best gasket to buy?
Thanks
